From a post On X: On May 21st, I published and translated photos about Eliran Mizrahi, a reserve soldier in the engineering corps who was always posting about the war crimes he committed in #Gaza.
Eliran Mizrahi, who fought in the Gaza Strip since October 7th, ended his life by shooting himself last Friday - two days before he was supposed to return to fight in #Rafah.
#Mizrahi, 40 years old, left behind a wife and four children. He was called up for reserve duty at the beginning of the war by Order 8 and worked as a D9 bulldozer driver, destroying Palestinian homes.
He entered the Gaza Strip and, according to Hebrew media, was exposed to dozens of anti-tank missiles, survived resistance ambushes, small arms fire, and explosive devices and mines.
After half a year of fighting, Eliran returned home. He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, but despite this, he requested to continue serving in the reserves. Shortly after his release from the reserves, he received another Order 8, and he was supposed to report again today.
Now, his family demands that he be buried in a military funeral. His father said, "The army took him, and the army should take care of his burial. We will not hold a non-military funeral. He remained in Gaza even when he was at home and was preparing to go out today for reserve duty by Order 8."
The end of a war criminal who participated in genocide (I do not share links on ShiTwitter where I found the original).

Israeli warplanes have bombed a house in northern Gazaโs Beit Lahiya town, killing a mother and her three children, according to the Wafa news agency.
The Palestinian Information Centre (Palinfo) identified the mother as Shurooq al-Radhi, wife of Naseem al-Radhi, who is imprisoned by Israeli authorities.

The doctrine, which takes its name from the Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut and entails the large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure to pressure a hostile government or armed group, was devised in the context of Israelโs 2006 war on #Lebanon
Israeli jets dropped more than 80, 2000-pound โbunker-bustingโ bombs that have a destruction radius of 35 metres (115 feet) on their target. The strike that killed Nasrallah also flattened six residential buildings
1/2 The doctrine, for example, was clearly in play during Israelโs โOperation Cast Leadโ in 2008 that killed 1,400 Palestinians, including 300 children, in Gaza. The Goldstone report from the UNโs post-war fact-finding mission found that Israeli soldiers โdeliberately subjected civilians, including women and children, to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatmentโฆ in order to terrorize, intimidate and humiliate themโ.
2/2 It also detailed that the Israeli forces systematically destroyed Gazaโs civilian infrastructure, including flour mills, farms, wastewater treatment plants, water installations and residential buildings.
Israeli soldiers continue to bomb and destroy Kamal Adwan Hospital in war-battered northern Gaza, the territoryโs Health Ministry says, suggesting that the plan seems to be to execute medical workers who refused to evacuate.
Mark Longo, who rescued an orphaned squirrel that became a social media star, describes how authorities raided his New York state animal sanctuary and seized the furry creature, along with a rescued racoon. Both animals were later euthanized.
100 more horses going for slaughter in Japan from Canada's Edmonton International Airport. The horses came from Grover feedlot near Hanna, so besides the time and stress of being loaded onto the trucks and the 3+ hour drive to Edmonton, they now face the loading onto the plane here and then a grueling journey to Japan. All this without food, water and rest.
Bill C-355 banning live export, is stalled in the Senate, largely due to delaying tactics by several Conservative Senators (led by Senate Opposition Leader, Don Plett).

4 Lebanese civilians have been reported killed due to Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple areas in the ancient city of Tyre in southern Lebanon earlier today.
Just like the #Taliban and #ISIS, Israel is destroying #UNESCO sites, but with American and German bombs and money.
Our latest Honest Government Ad is out , and it features a very special guest actor:
her name is Ingyin Hlaing Hlaing and she is a refugee from the 2021 military coup in Myanmar. If you know about the conflict in Myanmar, you'll appreciate how brave it is of her to front this video. And If you don't, then this HGA will give you a good overview in under 5 minutes!
The Juice Media is the only source that can delay the feeling of disgust and horror long enough for me to learn anything about the absolute worst of what goes wrong in the world.
I remember first learning about mastodon and other federated media from other people's tweets announcing their #twittermigration. That's why I'm here now, it's a better model, and I want to be part of the early days of a better web.
But now I think back, I can't remember which of #elonmusk 's actions were the last straw for me.. maybe his treatment of his employees? What about you?
2/2 Followup question: Do you still use any commercial social media? The only legacy #socialmedia I'm still on is #Facebook to keep up with local events that don't post elsewhere and a few people . I actually think it could be a good place for doing what it was originally designed to do, if only it had stayed there. But then I get hooked by the sponsored posts and end up scrolling through a bunch of trivial stuff I didn't want to spend time on.
I moved in Nov 2022, I think in the week before he officially bought Twitter, but when it was clear it was actually happening. Deleted my account there shortly after.
I set up an Instagram account around then to follow some folks who moved there, but I don't really use it. I dropped my FB account within a year, first paring down my account, then seeing how terrible the suggestions from algorithm are if you don't "like" any pages.
I moved a bit earlier from the twitter migration and Melon taking over it. A previous coworkers was rightfully criticizing twitter on a bunch of aspects (unclear algorithm, oversold hype, etc ...) and pointed me toward mastodon.
It was cumulative for me. First, the constant appearance of Elonโs childish tweets though I donโt follow him. Then all the โpay for thisโ and advertising crap. Finally his promoting of Neo Nazis.
@douggreenfield Oh yes, I remember that day, when everybody had to see a Elon tweak. I think that was after Elon called in his (remaining) engineers to work on an "engagement emergency" because President Biden got more likes on a tweet than he did.
