'We're Not the Same People Anymore': IDF Soldiers Reveal What No Israeli Wants to Hear About Months of Fighting in Gaza

Sent into #Gaza straight from high school, five young #Israel conscripts describe the brutal, exhausting reality of the war with #Hamas – a world of despair, rage and crippling fear, with no end in sight

from #Haaretz

"Soldiers interviewed are handpicked by commanders and #IDF spokespersons and thoroughly briefed on what they can and cannot say. And so, reporters return with the same clichés: "This is a generation of lions," they declare. "Morale is sky-high."

But active-duty army soldiers who spoke to Haaretz in recent months paint a very different picture...

They describe mounting exhaustion, severe physical and psychological strain, and a constant fear that they'll be the next to have their names released as fallen."

HÜZÜNLÜ BİR AŞK HİKAYESİ ; GAM ZEDEYİM DEVA BULMAM...
Tüm şarkıların bir hikayesi vardır...
"Gamzede’yim Deva Bulmam."
Şarkısı da bu tür şarkılardan biridir...
Hemen belirtelim, Gam-zede, üzüntü sebebiyle kötü duruma düşmüş anlamındadır.
Hikayenin kahramanı Kemani Tatyos Efendi’nin kendi cemaatinden çocukluk aşkı bir sevdiği varmış.
Aile o tarihlerde Erivan’a göç ettiğinden evlenememişler.
Aradan uzun seneler geçmiş Tatyos efendi evlenmiş çocukları olmuş ancak kadın hiç evlenmemiş ve bir gün İstanbul’a dönmüş.
Bunu öğrenen Tatyos Efendi sözlerini de yazarak bir eser bestelemiş...
Kısa zaman sonra Beyoğlu’nda bir meyhanede gece nihayete ererken birkaç müşteri ve sandalyeleri toplayıp yerleri süpüren birkaç çocuktan başka kimse kalmamışken birlikte oturdukları Vasili ve Ahmet Rasim Bey de tam gitmeye hazırlanırken Tatyos Efendi kemana uzanmış sanki saatlerdir içen ve çalan o değilmiş gibi kemanı omuzuna yerleştirip, hafifçe başını kemana eğerek, dudaklarında acı bir tebessümle o ana kadar duyulmamış o uşşak şarkıyı ilk defa söylemiş...


Gamzede’yim deva bulmam,
Garibim bir yuva kurmam,
Kaderimdir hep çektiren,
İnlerim hiç reha bulmam.
Elem beni terketmiyor,
Hiç de fasıla vermiyor,
Nihayetsiz bu takibe,
Doğrusu ta'kât yetmiyor.
Ehl-i dilin yoktur kadri,
Uğraşma gel Tatyos gayri,
Eserin çok kıymetin yok,
Git talihine küs bari...


Tatyos kemanı omuzundan indirdiğinde hiç kimsenin tek bir kelime edecek hali yoktur...
Vasili hıçkıra hıçkıra ağlıyor meyhane de kalanlar da göz yaşlarını birbirlerine sezdirmeden silmeye çalışıyorlar...
Birkaç hafta içinde İstanbul’da bu şarkıyı ezberlemeyen ne hânende ne sâzende kalıyor...
Şarkıyı besteledikten bir ay sonra Tatyos Efendi vefat ediyor naaşı kilisede iken otuz yıl önceki çocukluk aşkı olan kadın Ahmet Rasim’in yanına üzerinde
"Tatyos ile birlikte defnedilecektir..."
yazılı bir zarf bırakıyor...
Yarım saat sonra Tatyos’un naaşı ile birlikte toprağa verilecek zarfın içinde şu dizeler yazılıdır;*


*Gamzede'sin devân benim
Garip kuşsun yuvan benim
Çektiğimiz yeter gayri
Kaderimsin inan benim.
Ta'kât yetişmez eleme,
Bülbül imrenir çileme.
Bizim şu kara sevdamız,
Kalsın öteki aleme.
(...)

"Not then, not now, never again fascism
Never forget Srebrenica genocide"

Mural in Amsterdam of Potočari cemetery featuring the names of different Bosnian towns and cities with the corresponding estimated amount of victims.

Almost 30 years has passed since Europe was shaken by the genocide of more than 8000 muslim boys and men in the Bosnian city of Srebrenica, at the hands of Bosnian Serb troops during an operation of ethnic cleansing, witnessed by UN peacekeeping troops who failed resoundingly in their protection mission.

In the midst of the conflict in the Balkans during the 1990’s, the small city of Srebrenica, in Eastern Bosnia, was established as a “safe area” by the UN for civilians fleeing fights between Bosnian government and separatist Serb forces, during the breakup of Yugoslavia.

On 11 July 1995, Serb forces attacked Srebrenica lead by Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladić, conducting a ten-day operation to take over Srebrenica and subject it to ethnic cleansing. More than 8000 people were killed, mainly Bosnian muslim boys and men.

Several people injured in second night of anti-migrant riots in Spanish town


Several people were hurt in a second night of anti-migrant unrest in the town of Torre Pacheco in south-east Spain after a pensioner was beaten up, authorities said.

Despite a major police presence, groups armed with batons roamed the streets looking for people with foreign origins, the regional newspaper La Opinión de Murcia reported.

The regional government did not say how many people were injured but stated that at least one person had been arrested over the violence.

The unrest erupted after a 68-year-old man told Spanish media he was beaten up in the street on Wednesday by three young people of north African origin. The attack was filmed and put on social media.

Macron calls on EU to ‘defend European interests resolutely’ from Trump tariffs


The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has called on the EU to “defend European interests resolutely” after Donald Trump threatened to impose 30% tariffs on nearly all imports from the EU.

It came as the EU moved to de-escalate tensions after the blunt move by Trump on Saturday. The bloc declared a further pause on €21bn of retaliatory tariffs until 1 August, dovetailing with the US president’s new deal deadline.

At the same time, the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Indonesian president, Prabowo Subianto, announced a “political agreement” on a free trade deal on Sunday, ending nine years of negotiations.

When Britain's 'feminists' cheer for bombs and sneer at Palestinian suffering


A familiar breed of British pundit has resurfaced - loud, self-declared feminists whose outrage is as selective as it is performative, and whose moral compass somehow always aligns with western state power.

They remain silent as Gaza burns, but are quick to find their voice to cheer on Israel and its allies as they threaten to flatten Iran - civilian casualties be damned.

During Israel's recent strikes on Iran, the radical feminist journalist and co‑founder of Justice for Women, Julie Bindel, branded leftist anti-war feminists "Team Iran" sympathisers. It was a disingenuous, grotesquely misleading and dangerously ideological accusation, but not a surprising one.

While women in Gaza bleed in silence, these pundits reserve their fury for pro-Palestine protesters - smearing them as extremists, branding solidarity as terrorism, twisting every act of dissent into an endorsement of "jihad" and weaponising antisemitism to crush critique.

Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir, seems visibly nervous when asked about Israel's use of AI in Gaza.

You know humanity is waking up and seeing through it all!

@Prickly Pam (D-PA) Floods in Texas are natural. Nobody is to blame. Weather happens, and anywhere you have rich farmland you have a history of floods, for it is floods that bring silt down from weathered rock in mountains to replenish depleted minerals. And anywhere you have fertile farmland you have humans in the way of those same floods. Yea I know the Climate Wealth Transfer scammers will try to take advantage of every opportunity but no amount of taxation will stop weather.

"In a move that activists are saying is an attempt to quell the passionate student and worker movement for Palestinian liberation within the City University of New York (CUNY), student organizer Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik has been suspended for a year.

"Along with CCNY’s academic sanction case against Malik, CUNY has also fired four faculty members."

making a video game for the Colecovision in Z80 assembly language was the best lesson in I had in embedded programming...better than any formal course on the subject.

Its BIOS, called OS7, was pretty decent too so you could leverage it to do some of the minutiae and concentrate on the fun stuff. I suspect the same is true about the routines in the C64 KERNEL and BASIC ROMs.

Such assaults have become a regular occurrence, taking place almost every Friday, as part of efforts to intimidate villagers and drive them off land targeted for settlement."

it's incredible how the e-rightoids think they only have two options every single fucking time MUH TRANNIES try to appropriate anything:
a) immediately give up the thing they loved up until 5 mins ago (and even go "well ackshully in retrospect that thing i loved was always tranny-coded so good riddance")
b) bitch about it in their social media circles without ever actually doing anything (this eventually leads to option a every single time without failure)
but option c (actively fighting against it/ignoring it altogether) is never ever on the table

learned helplessness is both terrifying and disgusting :jahy_disgust:

I'm about to give up my organic balcony gardening experiment. This is a cry for help.


I'm a bit emotional right now. But in the bad way to be fair.
I just got stung by a wasp without any reason, after having to take a extensive shower before because my body was totally itchy from all the mites and whatnot. UGH! 😫

I've been pretty proud in the beginning of this experiment, because there were lots of wild bees, beetles and other cool critters around here. It's basically like being in nature.

But I forgot that nature sucks... 🥲

For example, imagine laying in the grass and just chilling.
Beautiful for the first 5 seconds, but then, you begin getting stung in the asscreek by a dozen ants and get everything ruined.

Nature is basically dead in my area, so only the asshole bugs survive here.

The whole balcony is swarmed by aphids/ mites as well as ant colonies that protect those suckers from ladybugs and other beneficial predatory insects.

The aphids droop honeydew everywhere, which attracts lots of yellow jacket wasps, which in return could kill my girlfriend in minutes because she's highly allergic.
I didn't even realise that asshole (the wasp, lol) is there until I got stung just by existing.

I'm right about to pull the trigger and get my pesticides (neem oil/ pyrethrum extract) out.

Also, I began to hate soil even more than before.
I have to hunt for slugs every evening, because they're everywhere, and I can barely stand a chance against them.
There are gnats living in it too, as well as other unwanted guests.

The plants in soil are starting to spread diseases and pests to my otherwise healthy plants in hydroponics. I will for example harvest my weed soon, and there are bugs sticking in the buds like in a glue trap. I have no idea how I should get them out of them, it's just disgusting.

I also largely prefer hydro compared to soil, not only because there are less pests, but also because due to the much lower water demand and control it gives me.
The soil is guzzling water like crazy and still the plants are looking way less healthy.

Spraying neem oil on my hydro plants and just not using soil anymore seems to be the way better choice right now.

Sorry for the rant. It had to be.

What should I do?
