Vogue Greece picked an Israeli model Sun Mizrahi to be on the cover of their “Mediterranean Touch” and their followers got really angry.

“Posting an Israeli model on your cover in the midst of current world events is an extremely tone deaf decision and it really does beg the question whether you are able to read the room” one commentator said. “This is not what Israelis look like” another one added.

This is just a radicalized and panicked whitewashing of Israel to fit an insane narrative that Israelis are all White.

They essentially ask Vogue to not show the world that Israelis are Middle Eastern people. And since it annoys them so much, I decided to post it here too 😘

do not forget their names: Agam Berger, Liri Albag, Daniella Gilboa, Karina Ariev, and Naama Levy. do not forget any of the women and girls or men and boys and even the babies who were horrifically murdered, raped, and kidnapped, on and since October 7th. do not forget their families or their friends who have to spend day after day not knowing if their loved ones are alive.

if you cant watch the released videos that is ok. hurting yourself isnt going to help the hostages. it is not meant to traumatize already hurt jews, its to show goyim the terrible things that have been done by hamas. at the very least remember the names of the five girls and remember they are people

It hurts to know that almost all my reblogs and likes will be from fellow Jews whenever I speak out about the hostages. A lot of people who claim to hate antisemitism believe that speaking about them somehow hurts Palestinians. If you have been led to believe caring about innocent civilians on either side hurts the other, you have been fed lies. Empathy is not a finite source. You can be for a bilateral ceasefire and mourn for the hostages. Your Jewish friends are not ok right now. We need your support

Please don’t spread misinformation and actually do research. The translations on that video of the Israeli soldiers is actually wrong. Anyone who actually speaks the language will tell you what they’re ACTUALLY saying.

I highly recommend @/suppressedNws on twitter’s thread on the subject. They actually provide accurate translations! While I know Twitter in general isn’t a good source, many people who actually speak Arabic have already debunked the translations in the video.

One example is how the translation says that they said “you’re beautiful” that isn’t the case, they’re saying “no no, you are NOT beautiful.”

Plus there is no evidence that the woman in the video were or are going to be r/ped. The whole pregnant line was fabricated. (They’re actually saying “here are the captured woman”) There is blood on them yes, but that’s from previous injuries.

Please actually do research and stop falling for propaganda.

So I did my due diligence on checking out everything and YOU are the one who has been propaganda'ed

Like that Twitter account, there are soooo many red flags jfc how tf do you think they are trustworthy????

Onto the translation, I have spoken with someone who is Palestinian convert to Judaism and they have said the translation is correct apart from zionist. The word used is one to mean lazy or irresponsible. But apart from that, everything is correct.

Big shout out to them (they don't use tumblr and wanted their name censored) as they were amazing at helping me.

Please see the messages below. Yellow is me, red is the Palestinian person who helped translate

And for those who want to decide I'm lying about speaking to a Palestinian because apparently all jews are liars, here is an arab man who is using the same translations

A highly recommended read. Full text of article under cut

On October 7, I was not hiding with my child in the safe room. My house was not burnt to the ground, and my husband didn't blow me a last kiss before his killer fired a fatal bullet.

I was safely at home in London where I have lived for over 30 years when my elderly peace-activist parents, Oded and Yocheved Lifschitz, along with 77 others members of the community, were taken hostage, barefoot and in their pajamas from their homes in the kibbutz where I was born and raised.

Israel's hostages in Gaza: A matter of life and death

Israeli peace activists who lost loved ones in the Hamas massacre stand their ground

What we can learn from released Hamas hostage Yocheved Lifshitz

For the past 229 days, together with the families of the other of hostages taken captive which now number 128, we have taken part in the fight for the lives of our loved ones.

In Nir Oz, my family's kibbutz, one in four people (117 in total), were either executed or kidnapped. We are still piecing together the events of that brutal day that Hamas terrorists and some Gazan civilians, perpetrated medieval levels of cruelty, driven by hate and revenge, blinded by radical religious ideology and super-charged with amphetamines.

Last month, at the "Seder in the Streets" event in New York, activist Naomi Klein spoke as if none of that ever took place. Instead, addressing hundreds who gathered for a combination Passover Seder and protest of the war in Gaza, she spoke of what she termed the "False Idol of Zionism", comparing Jewish support of it to the Israelites "worshiping" the golden calf and recalling Moses' rage seeing the spectacle.

Klein's interpretation seems to miss the point: Moses, unlike Klein, did not disengage. He did not give up on his people when they worshipped a false idol. Instead, without compromising his integrity and beliefs, he guided them through the desert for forty more years in their journey to become a nation. Klein, at this dangerous moment in history, is failing to lead her listeners to take responsibility, to engage and work towards a shared future in the region for Jews and Palestinians, one built on the preciousness of life on both sides and an understanding of the original intention of Zionism: the necessity for a safe home for the Jewish people.

"Seder in the Street" was also protesting the heartbreaking and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and settler violence in the West Bank. Many in Israel, like my parents, would agree. Yet their plight and that of the other hostages – most of them civilians, from a baby boy of one year to a man of 86 - are not mentioned at Seder in the Streets or other gatherings of far-left pro-Palestinian Jewish activists.

My father, Oded Lifschitz, who is 83, and his friends who are also hostages, all in their late 70s and 80s, have worked for peace for decades. My mother, Yocheved Lifschitz, was thankfully released after 17 days of captivity.

How much more effective these protests could be if activists abroad could act as a bridge between the pro-Palestinian movement and progressives fighting for peace in Israel?

Hamas, a terrorist organization which has been systematically stripping freedom, women's rights and democracy from the Gaza strip since 2006 are also strangely left out of the discussion. In fact, I see more criticism of the Hamas attack and crimes from moderate Palestinian voices than from prominent Jewish voices of the pro-Palestinian movement in the United States and Europe.

Klein is instead content in disengaging from Israel based on a distorted idea of Zionism and in so doing offers no solidarity with the moderate, progressive Jews living in Israel and for whom rejecting Zionism is irrelevant at this moment. Whether we like our government's policies or hate them as many do, Israel is home. Just as Canada is Klein's home, whether or not she likes the policies of the Canadian government or condones its mistreatment of its Indigenous population.

I consider myself pro-Palestinian. My family has always fought for a shared future for our two peoples, understanding this key point: our fates are interlinked. My parents have advocated for peace and equality for and with the Palestinians since the 1960s. We have united as a family to protest policies of the current Israeli government we find abhorrent. I wish for the Palestinians what I want for my own people: to live without bloodshed, in their own democratic state, as part of a negotiated two-state solution.

The facts are indisputable to Zionists and non-Zionists alike: There are about 7 million Jews and 7 million Palestinians living in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza. Jewish Israelis cannot be expected to reject the idea that they can and should have the right to live safely in Israel. Without Israel, where would they go?

Everyone who cares about what's best for the region must strengthen those who are working for a peaceful future. As my father always says, "You make peace with your enemies."

Thanks to international efforts to formulate a plan for the "day after" the war in Gaza, we are potentially closer to a long-term political agreement to lift us out of conflict than ever before. To help facilitate it, American and European progressives must distinguish between religious fanatics on both sides and those working toward a path of justice and peace for everyone in the region.

We must differentiate the liberal American pro-Palestinian activists from those who justify Hamas atrocities as acts of resistance. The dominant current narrative of the American far left, including the Jews among them, unwittingly aligns with Iran, and with antidemocratic and illiberal forces.

Instead of fostering hate and promoting disengagement from Israel, progressives abroad should help those in the region regain a sense that another future is possible and advocate for a negotiated political agreement that would create a state of Palestine established alongside the state of Israel. It won't be perfect, but it will be a good start.

The work of advocating for a different, sustainable future, must start with a call for the immediate release of hostages as part of a long-term agreement, backed by America and its allies, including moderate Arab states, that has the potential to transform the lives of Palestinians and Israelis by rescuing them from this ongoing tragedy. To fail to do so is to fail not just the hostages and their families, but to throw all the people of the region further into the abyss and undo the inspiring work of moderate forces within Israeli and Palestinian society.

In this, our darkest hour, we ask ourselves, who is our enemy? My enemy is the blind hate that seeks to erase the humanity of the other side. All of us who are horrified by what is unfolding in Gaza should work toward empowering the people of the region to move away from our common enemy. That's not Zionism, but rather the religious fanaticism we have within both our societies – Israeli and Palestinian – that threatens to engulf us all.

Sometimes, I want to shout at the news on TV, to remind people that their indulgent engagement in hatred of one side is so futile, so self-congratulatory. We can do better.

As we bleed and grieve, and in the case of families like my own – hang suspended between hope and despair for the fate of our loved ones, we must seek points of human connection between Jews and Palestinians, we must fight, not against one another, but for a practical solution that dismantles the status quo so that we can all survive – and live in freedom and security.

Sharone Lifschitz is a London-based filmmaker and academic originally from Kibbutz Nir Oz, whose parents were taken hostage on October 7. On Twitter: @Lifschitz_sha

The fact that so many refuse to talk about and show empathy for the Israeli hostages because they think it would prevent people from caring about Palestinian civilians is especially ridiculous because it literally provides even more reasons to have a ceasefire. Every day there is no ceasefire is another day of suffering for both Gazan civilians and the Israeli hostages. The reason the video of the female hostages was released by their families was to put pressure on Netanyahu to make a hostage deal

it’s one of those days where i have nothing controversial to say to spite the antisemites

today i’m just sad… i feel shame that they’re all still there, i’m angry that so many have the audacity to dismiss it, i’m worried that they might think we forgot about them and i’m sad that nothing will never ever be the same again…
