“People are calling them ‘monsters.'”
Dearborn, December 26 – Hundreds of volunteers from around the world continued this week to the noble effort to make sure no slur against the perpetrators and abettors of an October 7 killing, sexual assault, kidnapping, and maiming spree goes without rebuttal.
Online activists maintained their efforts since October 7 to combat what they call the “dehumanization” of Hamas terrorists who planned and implemented a systematic mass assault on Israeli civilian communities more than two months ago, resulting in 1200 deaths, hundreds abducted to Gaza, and large-scale rape, among other atrocities.
“People are calling them ‘monsters,'” lamented Raheem Hassan. “That’s dehumanization language, and can lead directly to violence against Palestinians. The world knows what happens when a group becomes the target of terminology that compares them to rats, fleas, or other vermin. It doesn’t take very long for that to escalate into outright persecution and even murder. That’s what we oppose.”
“I spend at least an hour a day reporting posts on Twitter about this,” he estimated. “But it’s non-stop. Even prominent public figures engage in the familiar dehumanizing rhetoric referring to the Palestinians who broke free of their open-air prison and did exactly what anyone else would do under the circumstances. I could cite dozens of examples throughout history if I could think of any.”
Other online activists have taken a more preemptive approach. “I just report accounts that look like they’re going in that direction,” explained a user who goes by the name Bad Empanada. “It’s already a bad sign if an account cites the October 7 ‘massacre’ without expressing skepticism, but that’s not a giveaway. Maybe that person just really believes the Zionist-controlled media. You have to look for other clues, such as trying to justify Israeli action of any sort. If they humanize Israelis, you know you’ve got a live one.”
The approaches of the activists in fact vary widely. The direct-rebuttal method sees dozens, even hundreds, of replies to bury the offending account in a sea of notifications, while others aim to “doxx,” or reveal the private details of, any such accounts that use a pseudonym in stead of the account-holder’s real name. Still others take their operation off of social media per se, and opt for real-world harassment and threats. All, however, agree on tactics that glorify and encourage others who wish to take such matters into their own hands, especially against the descendants of apes and pigs who usurped Palestine.
