Netanyahu don't care hostages, he just cares to destroy Gaza
You can be Jewish enough to be a human shield, a.k.a. "settler" but not when it comes to taking up real estate in a Jewish burial ground
Tel Aviv and Gaza 8.02pm
I can't stop thinking about the fact that they have gone to war in this young woman's [ALINA FALAHATI] name, but they buried her outside the cemetery because she wasn't Jewish enough for them.
I can't stop thinking about the fact that Germany have gone to war to help Israel in this young woman's name [SHANI LOUK], but they [German chancellery / German administration] says Shani Louk were not “pure” Germans; those hostages have been used to justify unconditional support for Israel’s bombing of civilians. Olaf Scholz send a more weapon, very fast to Israel rather than send a LEOPARD last February to Ukraine, used Shani Louk as justified Olaf’s intention to enabling genocide.
Appaling. Victim of rave massacre buried outside cemetery due to incomplete conversion to Judaism. Alina Falahati, a Beit She'an resident who was murdered during the music festival near Kibbutz Re'im, was buried outside the city’s cemetery grounds because she has not yet completed her course for converting to Judaism, an official with the Chief Rabbinate told the Knesset Committee for Immigration, Absorption, and Diaspora Affairs on Monday.
Another reason why Avigdor Liberman demanded the establishment of "National Secular Liberal" 4 years ago. This is a decades’ long deep issue that we all have scars from. It's longer than Netanyahu, but he has kept them in government for a long time too.
Alina, like 30%+ of Russian-speaking Israelis, she wasn't considered "fully Jewish". She was in the process of full conversion but hasn't graduated yet. Ex-USSR mom, Iranian-Jewish dad. This has long been an issue in Israel and the diaspora. The ultra-orthodox monopoly on marriages and Jewish categorisation is long due for an update.
Israel's have your cake and eat it too approach to Jewish diversity: some people are Jewish enough for aliyah, but not to be treated as full Jewish citizens. It's an apartheid system, even for Jews. How can Netanyahu regime be so cruel and call yourself a man of religion when you dont have tiniest bit of decency against dead person and her relatives. Her parents must be devasted, those poor people.
People always talk about how safe and welcoming Israel is for Jews, like it's Teaneck with authentic falafel and palm trees or whatever. It is not. In many ways the United States does a better job caring for and accommodating Jews than the Jewish state.
When the Russian-speaking Jewish experience in Israel is distinct from other Jews, this is mean. This is not the first time that even in death Russian Jews are humiliated and othered. A Rabbinate that is actively hostile to Russian Jews makes this happen. The rabbinate being dominated by Haredim who seek no path for Russian Jewry and actively contradict halachic principles to show their contempt for Israelis only occurs because this is Netanyahu's coalition.
In the brief period of time when a unity gov that was anti-Netanyahu ran the country, we saw efforts made to acknowledge the Jewish heritage of Russian Jews and efforts to make conversion more personal and accessible.
Netanyahu's coalition has nothing but contempt for that. Those murdered for being Jewish/Israeli should all be considered righteous as having died "al kiddush HaShem" and buried as they wanted.
This may be a pipe dream but when all this is [war] over and Israeli choose new leaders there will be an opportunity to right a lot of wrongs in Israeli society. Hopefully this is one of them.
I know a lot of high-ranking media, such as New York Times, Guardian, Anadolu, BILD, Spiegel, Financial Times, Strait Times, Washington Post etc subscribed my substack. Plestia ‘Bosbos’ Alaqad ready to be your Stringer inside Gaza under bombing by Israel. Plestiaa2011@gmail.com
Toddler with Plestia, before war, living in Northern Gaza and they evacuated to Southern Gaza. Since Friday, Oct 13, when Israel announced to every Gazans from northern move to southern, more than 5,000 killed in southern, not counting barbaric bombing in northern Gaza. Northern Gaza is being depopulated, while even residents in the south are ordered to evacuate as the israelis implement their ethnic cleansing. Refugee literally fulfilled Israel warning, and still killed with barbaric bombing by Israel. Documentation by Plestia Alaqad
