Israeli police unleashed the locusts on ultra-Orthodox Jews protesting mandatory military service in the IDF. Tens of thousands joined the demonstrations, as police used water cannon, stun grenades, and horses to disperse crowds. In the video you can see an Israeli mounted police officer's horse trampling one of the Haredim.

Israel today looks like America in 1968.


Thanks to the right wing junta of PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli society is being pecked apart by several corroding factors, to wit: the secular vs religious; Islamophobes vs co-existers; homophobes vs LGBTQ+; war-mongers vs pacifists; patriots vs draft evaders; Israeli Arabs vs Israeli Jews; Settlers vs West Bank Arabs; fanatical Jews vs Christians.

Moreover, Israeli society will see a marked increase in PTSD, drug abuse, mental health issues, and suicides from IDF veterans as a result of all these cruel wars against the Palestinians, Lebanese, and Iranians.

No wonder 2025 saw the first net migration loss in Israel's history.

Israel is painting itself as the problem in the Middle East, and not a possible solution.

Unfortunately, PM Netanyahu seems to have drawn Pres Trump into the mess he has created and has been creating.

Israel was ALWAYS the problem in the ME.

Never a possible Solution.

Unless you mean a "Final Solution".

They want that Immediately.

And they are Killing Thousands to make it So.

With American Connivance.

Police brutality anywhere against anyone is horrendous.

Note the Israeli police (IP) didn't use the notorious and indelible "purple dye" on the Haredim, just plain water.

Decades ago the South African police (SAPS) used the "purple dye" to catch the "kaffirs" after a demonstration.

The SAPS taught the IP that technique to catch Palestinians the day after a demonstration. Apartheid-era Suid-Afrika probably delivered thousands of gallons of the "purple dye," along with diamonds and uranium, in exchange for Israeli weapons or technology.

And R2DT -- another Israeli PSYOP agent who joined drudge.com recently-- thinks it's "FUNNY" that his own people are suffering in a Gehenna.

LGBTQ people are getting ambushed weekly by homophobes and PTSD is going up in the ranks of the IDF because of the guilt they are now suffering after shooting unarmed Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Remarkable.

"FUNNY" = "NEWSWORTHY" so Coriolanus is OK with that.
