This is a repost of a March 4th Substack post by Einat Temkin, who lives in Mexico but grew up in Israel and served in IDF in the 1990s. What she says about most Israelis is spot on. But first, let’s start with some salient and depressing facts:
What Einat shares from inside Israel is one of the reasons why I’ve shared this 2025 essay by Orly Noy, an Iranian-Israeli activist, so widely: Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is our only remedy – The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. It must be confronted at its root. I’ve added some email addresses and links. In the comments sections are translations of this post in Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew.
I also encourage you to read this 5 March 2026 article by Gideon Levy: Everyone in This Country Has Gone Insane. It complements Einat’s post.
I took a “social media break” for 24 hours.
What I missed (in Israel alone for now, “the only democracy in the Middle East”).
This is a public post, kindly feel free to share – in fact you are encouraged – to share it widely wherever you like. Feel free to add my “bona fide credentials” as a person who was born and raised in that wretched place, trying to get the truth out and work around the complicity of the media, seemingly everywhere.
Purim was celebrated with great joy in Israel, with Member of Knesset Limor Son (lsun.har@knesset.gov.il) whatever her name is, (should be Ms. Evil Incarnate) and husband dressed up as executioners joyfully planning the annihilation of all Palestinians and the Jewish settlement of all of greater Israel forever and ever.
You cant make this s*** up.
Israeli conscientious objector (“refusnik”) Itamar Greenberg was brutally assaulted within an an inch of his life by police at a protest against the war in Iran.
My dear friend Majd (a Palestinian Israeli citizen) a talented, thoughtful, kind opera singer was arrested for posting “anti-Zionist” messages on social media.
The entire (tiny) circle of decent people still there mobilized to get him out. He’s been released, with unbelievable conditions such as: total prohibition from posting anything on social media about the war in Iran for 5 days, monetary bail, additional monetary bail by a 3rd party guarantor etc. etc.
I’m speechless, I cannot process this.
New video celebrating the death of the little girls in Iran / or who knows, maybe Muslim children everywhere, making the rounds with T-shirts that say “The grandchildren are dead”.
In the meantime, those poor forgotten souls in Gaza have been displaced once again, to where?
No one knows, no one cares.
Just now: Israel orders a quarter of a million people to evacuate southern Lebanon.
I could go on but I can’t stomach it.
I include an apologist post from that most useless of Liberal Zionists, Yair Golan (ylapid@knesset.gov.il), head of the Israeli “left” (number of followers on FB: barely 100k) to show the level of his denial and continued dedication to a racist supremacist ideology, which has become synonymous with death itself. What a cliche, blaming Netanyau as a bogeymen instead of facing reality. “The people of Israel are not like this”, and “let’s get Israel back on track”.
Israel is a lost cause.
Zionism was a mistake from the very beginning and led us directly to this point.
No excuses, no nonsense.
Jews everywhere: It’s up to you to save Judaism itself if you care about it, and save the lives of all those being annihilated in your name, if you are still a human being.
