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.
Hemo said he doesn’t want any Arabs living next to Israel any longer, and laments the world’s sympathy for Gaza after what happened on October 7.
“After what we’ve gone through, they need to be gone. No more Gaza.”
Reminds me of the recent film Zone of Interest where a well-to-do German family lives next to a concentration camp. They go about their day-to-day life while in the background you can hear gunshots and screams from Jewish prisoners.
He doesn’t want any Arabs living next to Israel? Who does he think will be their neighbors when they destroy and occupy all of Palestine?
Gross.
Israelis are under propaganda all the time, right?
Good question. I’m wondering this as well.
One would think that people in 2025 would be civilized, but the barbarism on the part of Israel, with broad support from the population, shows that this is not the case at all and how many absolute monsters there still are - uncivilized, morally depraved, hateful, and malicious!

Gestures widely.
A poll conducted by Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) in July, before the IPC’s famine declaration but when aid agencies had already been warning for weeks about starvation in Gaza, asked Israelis: “To what extent are you personally troubled or not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza?”
Of the Jewish respondents, 79% reported that they were not so troubled or not at all troubled.
