‘It’s Not The IDF but The Israeli Occupation Force’

‘We [western countries] didn’t defeat Nazism, we just put into Zionism and sent it to Palestine and made it some else’s problem’

EDITOR’S NOTE: One of the many video clips posted against the present Israeli war on Gaza is a commentary by this blogger. Following is a slightly edited version of her comments.

“When I refer to the [Israeli] occupation force (the IOF), it is not the Israeli Defense League because they ‘ve got no right to defend themselves. They are an occupying force, an occupying genocidal force.

Therefore, I call them an Israeli occupation force and I also call the ‘F…k entity’, the force, the occupation force, I will never call them the Israeli Defense Force because Israel shouldn’t be a country….’

You [Israel] started a country built on Al Nakba, you drive 1.5 million people from their homes and 500 villages were burned to the ground. Israel has never, ever been a legitimate state and never will be in anyone’s’ eyes.

The thing the Palestinians did wrong was welcome [the Jewish] refugees in. I’ll show you the….videos of them turning up with signs, ‘Europe has turned us away, please don’t turn us away’.

And you know what thanks the Palestinian got for that, is to be dehumanized, driven all over the land and killed for 76 years and 167 days [this latest Israeli war on Gaza].

…so damn right I will always call it the occupation force, the Israeli occupation force because Israel is the 2024 Nazis. We [western countries] didn’t defeat Nazism, we just put into Zionism and sent it to Palestine and made it some else’s problem. ‘We killed Gaza, they [Palestinians] are not dying quickly enough,’ they [Israeli soldiers] are laughing about it, the Israeli occupation force is committing war crimes and posting it on tiktok…”
