In the southern border city of Sderot, which was attacked on October 7, and is frequently the target of rocket fire, a group of Israelis gathered at an observation deck overlooking Gaza to revel in its ruin.
Dubbed the “Sderot cinema” by Israelis online, watching Israel’s bombardment has become a popular pastime; people take turns looking through tower viewers. Some bring popcorn and snacks, and some snap selfies as the thud of airstrikes echo in the distance.
"When I look at Gaza from here and see buildings still standing, it makes me upset. … I want Israel to continue until it’s all flattened,” Rafael Hemo, an onlooker told CNN.
A poll conducted in August by the aChord Center at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem indicates that a majority of the Israeli public (62%) agrees with the claim that “there are no innocent bystanders in Gaza.”

That is extremely disturbing. Praying for Palestine
Something is seriously wrong with Israeli society if this is considered a “passtime”.
I mean you have “left” leaning Israeli Americans like Ethan Klein and his wife Hila the raider of Ramallah saying that shit like “Yoav Gallant is a good guy”. Hila also mentioned that she got bored on her desk job at IDF and joined illegal raid out of said boredom.
There must be something broken with the Israeli society if raiding Palestine is considered a fun time for 20 somethings.
This is inhuman
And people still have the audacity to say it’s just Netanyahu and his government that’s the problem. It’s the whole damn society.
i can’t even begin to comprehend this kind of depravity.
