The Western colonial media (with leading mouthpieces like CNN and the BBC) consistently censors and sanitises Zionist apartheid and genocide, while silencing voices in support of Palestine and Palestinian resistance.
But social media tells a different story. Despite efforts by the platforms themselves to suppress criticism of the Zionist state and support for Palestinians, major platforms are awash with documentation, analysis, and commentary that show the truth—and provide evidence for it.
What is also remarkable are the comments left on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram by ordinary people around the world. Comments in support of Israel are predictable: whataboutism, deflection, outright lies, personal attacks, and accusations of anti-Semitism. By contrast, those in support of Palestinians not only form the vast majority, but express strong admiration and respect for Palestinians and their resistance—alongside even stronger condemnation and disgust directed at Israel and Zionists. These comments are often biting, insightful, satirical, and morally devastating.
Striking examples can be found in the comments on a YouTube video of a gun battle between Palestinian resistance fighters and IDF soldiers. (Israeli Soldiers Trapped by Hamas Grenade Assault).
.The video appears to have been taken from body cams worn by one of the Israeli soldiers, and—remarkably—released by the IDF (often referred to as the IOF: Israeli Offensive Forces or Israeli Occupation Forces). The footage is striking. It shows well-equipped, well-protected, and well-armed Israeli soldiers cowering in a room under fire from poorly equipped Palestinian fighters, who lack any backing from a military armed with tanks or fighter jets. One can only assume the IDF released the footage (or at least permitted its circulation by soldiers) in the belief that it demonstrated bravery or exemplary conduct.
The many thousands who have watched and commented on the video think otherwise. The title of this blog entry is one such comment, and by no means an exception.
One striking comment (in all caps) reads: “IMAGINE THEM GETTING JUST 5% OF WHAT IDF HAS IN TERMS OF MILITARY AID.” Others evoke war crimes and cowardice: “IDF was expecting unarmed women and children” and “Diaper force realized that facing the armed men is different than killing children & old people.” Some use satire and humour to express their disgust: “Wow, who knew a safety blanket really works?” and “Diaper army needs a diaper change.” The first refers to a soldier who appears to hide beneath a blanket he is also using to cover a minor wound; the second reflects the general impression that these well-armed and well-protected Zionist soldiers are, in fact, cowering. Still more comments demonstrate public understanding that the soldiers—and their “Satanic state,” to quote Norman Finkelstein—lack any moral or ethical justification for their actions. The title of this blog highlights exactly that.
Below is a selection from just the first 50 or so comments. The remainder can of course be viewed directly on the video page. It is well worth the time.
At the time of writing, the video has 3 million views and 5,041 comments—with only a handful in support of the Zionist soldiers (and mostly in replies to those supportive of Palestinians). Some individual comments have 2,000 or 3,000 likes. The total like count stands at 31,000. All these metrics are considered high by YouTube standards.
Another video (available as part of the same video montage) garners 9.1 million views, 8951 comments, and 62,000 Likes: Hamas Fighter Shoots At Israeli Soldiers Through Wall in Gaza. The first part shows Hamas fighters setting up an attack on Zionist occupation forces. In a later section Zionist soldiers are seen in a Palestinian school engaging in what many of the comments describe as “shooting windows and walls”, with one comment garnering 5,700 Likes with its dark humour: “This attack in the school resulted in the killing of two windows, a wall being damaged, the capture of 15 chairs, and the surrender of 3 doors.” This effectively captures the chaos and near hysteria of the soldiers as they randomly shoot at anything, while apparently under attack by a lone Palestinian fighter concealed in a hole in a wall.
There are many such videos, released or uploaded either by the IOF or by Palestinian resistance groups, and they are ubiquitous on YouTube and other social media and messaging platforms.
The Electronic Intifada goes into deep analysis of one video of Palestinian fighters sniping at Zionist soldiers as they stand on their tank
What truly stands out in these videos is the bravery of Palestinian fighters, who barely have a few guns, shoulder-held rocket launchers, and improvised explosives. They are “clad” not in combat gear but in T-shirts, jeans, and trainers—without body armour or the sophisticated weaponry of the Zionist colonisers. As one comment dryly notes: “Can’t defeat guys with no body armors and using sandals instead of army boots?” These young Palestinian men fight for liberation against a racist, supremacist, cruel, and deeply immoral force that dares to call itself an army. The world’s most moral, apparently

- I don’t see any human shields.
