Haaretz: Inside the Minds of Young Israelis Mocking Gaza's Suffering on TikTok
'These videos are popping up across social media like mushroom after the ruin. Evil has made itself at home here..
A young, ordinary-looking woman films a monologue and uploads it to social media. She's a "content creator," and her "content," oh, her content – what are we supposed to do with all that content of hers? A juicy hamburger in her hands, her face wearing a look of concern, she begins: "I'm really hungry, so I ordered myself a burger. And then I remembered that in Gaza there are so many people and Mahmoud animals [a play on the Hebrew phrase for pets] who have nothing to eat, and suddenly I felt, like, really bad." Pause. She takes a big, greedy bite. Her eyes meet the audience – she's performing. She continues: "Wow, okay, that's over. So tasty. A golden burger at Aley Zahav. Listen, there is definitely nothing like this in Gaza. But I found a solution for them, and I totally believe that… [she smirks] they really are hungry, because they never stop nagging us [literally, eating our heads.]Anyway, what they need to do is have all the innocents eat the ones who aren't. Bon appétit." Another bite of the burger…
What's striking is that they don't argue with the harsh claims. They don't say: There is no hunger in Gaza. They don't say: There is no humanitarian disaster. They don't say: No children are starving. No, they accept it all. They simply don't care. On the contrary, they're pleased. Their empathy mechanism has shrunk, confined only to their own tribe. The "other" does not exist as a person – at least not a person like them. As far as they're concerned, let them starve, waste away, die. Maybe that's even better, more material for the next show.'
From the comments:
-'Second only to the horrific genocide itself, this kind of behavior by Israelis that has forever shifted the global perception of Israelis and shattered their carefully crafted narrative of righteous victims. I'm actually looking forward to the Zionist takeover of TikTok which will only further embolden Israeli content creators. No one does more to expose the rotten ideology of Zionism than Zionists themselves.'
-'Impunity for the grand parents, impunity for the parents, impunity for these teenagers. Israelis whatever their age do not know what it means to be sanctionned. Murdering tens of thousands of people, stealing their land etc is normality in Israel. Sick.'
-'All these comments are unbelievable considering the overwhelmingly anti Semitic rhetoric that permeates Tik Tok and the internet at large. Maybe all you haters are simply projecting your own dehumanizing views onto Israelis.'
-'Get a grip. Young Israelis are posting disgusting indefensible content on TikTok. Normal healthy people are repulsed. Be outraged at the idiotic inhumane content, not the empathetic people denouncing it. A truly warped compass…'
