"Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too."
–Heinrich Heine (German poet of Jewish descent)

[aandali]

Why do they destroy olive trees, fig trees, cemeteries, schools, hospitals. Infrastructure, places of worship, , businesses, flags, homes, women and children ?

[jbrudert]

IDF soldiers filming their own war crimes at its worst; idiocy in the least. Social media has been a blessing for prosecutors seeking self-incrimination.

[robbie]

"The most moral army in modern history"
Obviously

[thesystemera]

Sounds like something from 1930s Germany?

[polysporin]

books is the history and written culture of a people.
to destroy their books means to erase them from history. Which is the intention.

[faheemrhodajackson]

The biggest joke is when israel investigates its own war crimes.

[PPpaladin]

at least they're not burning people, oh wait...

[nurex]

Don't blame the soldier, he thinks Hamas might have built a tunnel in the books. When one is bored of killing children, books are probably where he finds new excitement.

"Wherever they burn books, in the end will also burn human beings." - Heinrich Heine

[jorgecruz]

Absolute monsters and somehow are still labeled as the “victims”

[SoBiased]

This makes Genghis Khan kind hearted and more humane than IDF,

[zaidal-hindawi]

People burn books when they can’t refute the ideas within them.

[elgringoconsabor]

The historical parallels are shocking! The victims are now the criminals!

[johnnylabu]

what world is this when we let the criminal to investigate his own crime

[paolosunda]

There's only one question to be answered: Why have these Criminals been allowed to pursue their Atrocities for so long? Whom are they serving?

[Nizamuddin-jfke]

Burning Books.... unthinkable, those should be ashamed of themselves 😞

[bachirchabane]

Who are the Human Animals, and Barbarians?

[rahuladams]

This is United States of Israel, no one said anything. Just watching.

[lunifikateur]

It’s to erase the Palestinian word and change a few things about history and geography books.
This is just an update to say that Israeli settlers who come from Europe have actually been living in Palestine for over 40, 000, 000 years.
