The Israeli Operation Directorate’s Influencing Department is reportedly running a xenophobic Telegram channel, featuring content filmed by Israeli soldiers in Gaza.


The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) Operation Directorate’s Influencing Department, is running a Telegram channel, named “72 Virgins - Uncensored”, that shares gruesome footage taken by invading soldiers in the Gaza Strip, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Footage and photos, shared by the channel’s administrator, are usually accompanied by captions celebrating Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Influencing Department is responsible for the occupation’s psychological warfare operations which target Palestinians and foreign audiences.

Zionist racial hatred for Palestinians comes as no surprise, as official Israeli accounts have battled hard to normalize an anti-Palestinian sentiment, in conjunction with its aggression on the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials have also publicly stated opinions shared by the channel’s administrators, highlighting deep-rooted systematic xenophobia and extremism within Israeli society.

The channel run by the IOF, has also propagated racial derogatory stereotypes, to an engaged Israeli audience, in an attempt to dehumanize Palestinians, a tactic employed by Nazi officials against minorities during World War II.

Moreover, specific footage highlights occupation forces desecrating the bodies of Palestinian martyrs in the Gaza Strip, which the channel’s subscribers joyfully celebrate.

    desecrating the bodies of Palestinian martyrs

    This wording alone should tell you just how biased and thus unreliable the article you just posted is. This site even goes so far as to call the entire war by the name Hamas gave the October 7 pogrom, “Operation Al Aqsa Flood”. That is not okay on several levels.

    Posting this “article” clearly goes against one of the few rules of this place that prohibit hate speech, bigotry and propaganda.

        Why did you put this in quotation marks? That’s an actual article and actual reporting instead of the Islamist propaganda site that you originally posted.

        I read it and I think this is highly problematic. The IDF should definitely not operate such a channel and there needs to be an investigation into how it came to be.

            If the IDF gets destroyed, the result would be October 7 times several thousand, a second Holocaust. Do you want millions of dead Israelis? It seems to me like you do, based on your rhetoric.

            Once Hamas gets destroyed, the result will be relative peace for a few years. That’s the difference.

              No it won’t. Settlements getting built on their land, while enduring constant raids by the police, militants, and armed settlers is the worst outcome Palestinians could get.

              The occupation’s militia is an immoral terrorist group that’s very well equipped, and it must be destroyed.

          Because Haaretz is a propoganda channel for Israeli Hasbara.

          There are fine Israeli media outlets, such as 972 and B’Tselem

      Rightful Punishment to armed foreign settlers, not a pogrom. The Pogrom is what the Zionist Entity has been doing since the past 7 decades.

      Yes, it was the Tufan Al-Aqsa, nothing else.

      If you don’t like hate speech and bigotry, don’t support the genocidal Zionist Entity.

        Yes, those civilians that were raped, tortured, murdered had it coming for being born on the “wrong” side of the border (or because they were just working there or on visit).

        What an absolutely despicable, vile, evil thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself!

      F.U.C.K. Y.O.U.

      Israelis got Israel as reparation for a genocide.

      50 years later they are competing genocide.

      Stop straw manning data sources.

      Stop blank checks to Israel.

            Reparations are given by the group who perpetrated violence to members of the group of victims of violence, even many generations later. I see what you mean though, a justification for the creation of Israel was that Jews have historically been persecuted and did not have a homeland, but to me that doesn’t fit the definition of reparations.

            Yes, the UN had a partition plan that was rejected by the Arabs. The Arabs of the area were under the impression that one can’t make a country in the place where there is already a country (especially by giving the minority population a majority of the land), but before negotiations could proceed, Jewish militias came in and started blasting. Then they established the state of Israel and have been expanding ever since, rejecting any peace offers along the way.

            Do you think Israelis are indigenous?

            Not Israelis but Jews were about 25% of the population of Mandatory Palestine in the 1940s. They have existed there for thousands of years alongside Muslims and Christians, so yes Jews are indigenous.

            Still, no excuse for occupation, oppression, and genocide.

              No Idea what your on about bruv.

              Sounds like you wanna call Israeli’s indigenous.

              They aren’t. They were installed by the white man to be a great camp fire across the pond.
