These are body tags, you put them on deceased people when categorizing corpses at morgues, and you certainly dont put them around the wrists. This is like the laziest form of propaganda bdhdnsknf it literally says so on the tag.
This definitely reminds me of what St. Maximilian Kolbe did for the a Jew in the concentration camp of Auschwitz. He took the place of a fellow prisoner so that the prisoner could live. What an amazing example of faith. Let us pray for all affected by the conflict in the Holy Land.
How many times must Hamas be proven (or admit to be in this case) to be lying for pro-palestine idiots to understand you can't trust terrorists and they've been spoonfed a false version of these events by the media in Gaza since the start?
An endless number of times. They won’t accept it until either years after the war ends, or if somehow Arabs are reframed as an Oppressor Class and Colonizers (which they are, by the way).
Residents in the Jerusalem area have had a new issue plaguing them: Wild animals such as boars, jackals and porcupines roaming around the area, destroying infrastructure and sparking panic, Israeli media reported.
Of the animals, however, boars are the most dangerous, as they can cause severe injuries to local residents as well as to property.
The problem is nothing new for Israel. Wild boars have long been a problem in Haifa, where they have caused significant damage, injuries and, in one case, helped end a marriage. This became even worse during the COVID-19 pandemic when clear streets saw wild boars become an even more common sight, and as municipality-backed culling efforts were halted.
These boars are big, around the size of Rottweilers, and travel in packs. They are smart enough to break into gardens and trash cans, and can potentially turn violent.
Dealing with them is difficult, with Haifa residents having formed “pig patrols” to combat the boars. One resident actually created a 3D-printed whistle to deter wild boars.
Currently, the Jerusalem area locality with the biggest boar problem is Mevaseret Zion, with the animals terrifying residents.
“I saw pigs running after each other and I nearly died of fright,” one resident told N12. “I closed all my windows and doors at home, and started thinking if I could buy poison for them. They’re dangerous, and could even bite me or my kids.
“The Mevaseret Zion Municipality has already begun trying to find solutions.
“Every day, we repair the damages the boars can cause,” Mevaseret Zion Mayor Yoram Shimon told N12.
But why are sightings of boars and other animals becoming more frequent in the area?
Over the summer, severe forest fires near the Jerusalem area caused significant destruction, ruining what were once viable habitats for wildlife. Now, he explained to N12, these animals are stuck looking for habitats, food and water elsewhere.
“If no significant action is taken, it can end very badly,” Shimon told N12.
The Jerusalem Post reached out to the Mevaseret Zion Municipality, Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel and the Nature and Parks Authority (NPA) for comment.
The wild boar phenomenon stems from their search of available, man-made food, the Nature and Parks Authority said in response.
The NPA provides guidelines in order to cope with the problem, including improving sanitation levels and blocking access to trash and food, the NPA added.
The NPA also said that in some cases it allows for the dilution of the wild boar population, with the NPA acting in open spaces and local authorities acting within city boundaries.
In the case of Mevaseret Zion, The NPA said that is acting in the open spaces around the town and has given permission to the municipality to take care of boars found within city limits. “Unfortunately, it seems that the Harel police is not enabling the municipality to act within the town for its own purposes,” the NPA added.
Ela Pasternak, head of the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel’s mammal center, also responded to the Post’s query.
“The phenomenon of wild animals, such as wild boars, golden jackals and striped hyenas entering the urban area has become very common in many cities and settlements all over Israel,” she said.
“As long as cities will keep expanding towards open areas and more and more neighborhoods will be built on natural habitats and natural ecosystems, so the animals will be more and more present inside the city because the city is being built on their home.”
“Cities such as Haifa, Jerusalem and Mevaseret Tzion are surrounded by high-quality ecosystems and habitats with a wide diversity of wildlife animals, some are endangered, such as the mountain gazelle and the striped hyena, so sometimes it is natural for the animals to enter the city to seek for food, waterand shelter, especially when they are being excluded by people and new cities,” she continued.
“The cities create accessible food and water sources, such as waste (open trash bins or bins which can be flipped and dug in), public gardens watering, vegetables and fruit gardens, cat feeding areas, animal facilities (such as chicken coop or dairy barn), etc. When those sources are open and accessible, it creates a sanitation problem, and they attract the wild animals inside the cities, especially when the city and its facilities (such as animal facilities) are not surrounded by fences. Those sources especially attract ‘vermin’ species, such as the golden jackal and the wild boar, whose populations in Israel has become very dense, mainly due to bad sanitation in many areas,” she explained.
“Those species, in large numbers and dense populations, harm agricultural areas, ecosystems and habitats, and in recent years have become a nuisance in urban areas. Most of the time, wild animals will run away when seeing people, but if they get used to the presence of people and get fed by people, they can become more aggressive,“ she said.
Pasternak concluded with a number of practical tips.
"In order to avoid confrontation with wild animals in the urban area,
1. The animals should not be fed or watered in any circumstance.
2. The water and food sources in the city should be reduced or fenced, so the animals could not reach them. For example, the trash bins should be underground trash containers, so they would not become full in a short time and so the animals could not reach the trash or flip and dig inside them.
3. The city should be fenced so the animals could not enter the city. The fence should be beside the housed so there will not be open and natural areas inside the city that the animals would live inside them.
4. No food or water should be placed outside the fence, so the animals will not learn to eat and drink near the city. If they do so, at some point they will find a way to enter the city and the fence will not help,” Pasternak concluded.
in 2021, the houthi movement expelled all but 1 (one) of yemen’s remaining jewish population, which was anti-zionist. libi marhabi is imprisoned in reportedly horrific conditions.
How dare you assume that when people actually mean the things they say, and not the thing that would make them more palatable to me!
Believing non-white groups in other countries know what words mean is racist and Eurocentric! The truly progressive stance is to ignore their words and actions and make up a version of them to cheer for!
