Disgusting! Israel constantly tries to demonize Palestinian men, but we know the truth. We know they are prying people out of rubble with their own hands, driving ambulances, risking their lives for others, and hugging their dead children as they bury them.

Well said. It's like the Israeli government actively want the Palestinians to radicalize, so they can double down on their violent policies in order to get rid of them and ultimately annex all occupied Palestinian territories. They're effectively sacrificing the safety of their own people to avoid a two state solution.

Well yeah, that is why Netanyahu funded Hamas in the first place.

The article focuses on violence after October 7th, but I have personally witnessed police and military in East Jerusalem beating people more times than I can count, way before the 7th. It was already incredibly common. I’ve said it before, but Israeli police are some of the worst people I have ever encountered.
