In [[historiography]], '''historical revisionism''' is the process of revisiting, reexamining, and attempting to revise the established, commonly-held view of an historical event. This can be a good thing when the conclusions reached are supported by the evidence and lead to a more accurate understanding of the past; or bad when it paints in inaccurate picture of the past and relies on incorrect, selective, or manipulated data.

When used in Marxist contexts it can mean the telling of historical events in a pseudohistorical or ahistorical way. A relative of political [[revisionism]], which implies a betrayal of the [[Scientific socialism|scientific political view]], historical revisionism refers to a betrayal of history or historical accuracy.<ref>{{Web citation|author=VNGiapaganda|newspaper=Marxist-Leninist Theory from VNGiapaganda|title=Defending Communist History in Practice|date=2016-04-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170403185214/https://vngiapaganda.wordpress.com/2016/04/03/defending-communist-history-in-practice/|archive-date=2017-04-03|retrieved=2025-09-04}}</ref> History is a cornerstone of [[Dialectical materialism|dialectical materialist theory]]. [[Historical materialism]] ensures an accurate and scientific retelling of history, one which is told by the masses rather than by the bourgeoisie. To betray a [[Materialism|materialist]] conception of history in practice, whether by error or by intention is to engage in historical revisionism because it is a regression into [[idealism]] and idealist errors. In other words, historical revisionism is a falsification of history, whether intentional or unintentional.

[[Cultural revisionism]] is a related term that implies a historical revision of culture, one that is always necessarily false.

== Bourgeois historical revisionism ==
{{Main article|Historical nihilism}}

It could be argued that all bourgeois historians engage in some level of historical revisionism at least when it comes to certain topics, because their telling of history is biased towards the bourgeois class and loyalty to this class, rather than truth or the masses, is the measure of 'accuracy', as is the case for [[bourgeois science]] in general.

One modern example of historical revisionism is the way the [[Tibet Autonomous Region#Ancient history|history]] and [[Tibetan sovereignty debate|status of Tibet]] is misrepresented by [[Capitalist propaganda|bourgeois ideologues]] and [[Tibetan nationalism|Tibetan nationalists]]. [[Xizang Autonomous Region|Tibet]] has been part of [[People's Republic of China|China]] for over a thousand years since the [[Tang dynasty (618–907)|Tang dynasty]], and no country has ever recognised Tibet as a sovereign nation, yet many bourgeois ideologues (particularly in the [[Imperial core|West]]) as well as Tibetan separatists argue that Tibet is an independent country that was only forced to join China in 1950 after [[Peaceful Liberation of Tibet|a supposed "invasion"]]. They also often glorify the [[Feudalism|feudal]] era of Tibetan history when over 90% of the population were either [[Slavery|slaves]] or serfs and living conditions were deplorable for most people.<ref name=":3">{{News citation|newspaper=[[Liberation School]]|title=China, Tibet and U.S.-sponsored counterrevolution|date=2008-04-01|url=https://www.liberationschool.org/08-04-01-china-tibet-ussponsored-coun-html/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210619132116/https://liberationschool.org/08-04-01-china-tibet-ussponsored-coun-html/|archive-date=2021-06-19|retrieved=2022-06-20}}</ref> This gross mischaracterisation of Tibet's history is made by bourgeois propagandists in an attempt to lend legitimacy to separatist movements in China, as China represents a threat to the [[liberal international order]], and the [[Capitalist Bloc]] consequently seeks the [[balkanisation]] of the modern Chinese [[nation-state]].

Bourgeois history of the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)|Soviet Union]] is similarly altered to suit the needs of their country's bourgeoisie. After the Second World War ended, the Soviet Union published a booklet replying to the historical revisionism of the western [[Allied Powers]] that was intended to portray the Soviets as supportive of [[German Reich (1933–1945)|Nazi Germany]] rather than their victims.<ref>{{Citation|year=1948|title=Falsificators of History|title-url=https://archive.org/details/FalsificatorsOfHistoryAnHistoricalNoteTextOfCommuniqueIssued|city=Washington, D.C.|publisher=Soviet Information Bureau}}</ref> Nevertheless, the Soviet Union's role in the war was diminished so much in the following decades that by 1994 the majority of French citizens polled believed the United States contributed the most to the defeat of Germany when in 1945 they had named the Soviet Union.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Olivier Berruyer|newspaper=Les Crises|title=L’enseignement de l’ignorance : Quelle est la nation qui a le plus contribué à la défaite de l’Allemagne en 1945 ?|date=2019–05-08|url=https://www.les-crises.fr/la-fabrique-du-cretin-defaite-nazis/|retrieved=2025-09-05}}</ref> During the 1980s, a group of [[United States of America|Statesians]] and members of the [[Soviet Academy of Science|Soviet Academy of Science's]] Institute of World History gathered to review Statesian and Soviet elementary and high school history textbooks with both groups concluding that the Soviet textbooks contained more accurate historical information, while the Statesian textbooks undermined and downplayed Soviet history and contained basic factual errors.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Barbara Vobejda|newspaper=The Washington Post|title=U.S., SOVIET TEXTBOOKS GIVE DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS OF HISTORY|date=1987-12-05|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1987/12/06/us-soviet-textbooks-give-different-accounts-of-history/f51c95e0-a5ce-4ab1-96d8-4f5ef2f33935/|retrieved=2025-08-06|quote="All sides agreed that Soviet textbooks contain a great deal more solid information about the world in general and the United States specifically," said Ben Eklof, senior fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center here.}}</ref>

'''''The New York Times''''' is a [[United States of America|Statesian]] [[Bourgeoisie|bourgeois]] newspaper. It has historically supported [[United States imperialism|U.S. imperialism]] and [[Far-right politics|far-right]] governments. Before publishing its articles, ''The New York Times'' sends them to the [[Government of the United States of America|U.S. government]] for approval.<ref>{{News citation|author=[[Ben Norton]]|newspaper=[[The Grayzone]]|title=NY Times Admits It Sends Stories to US Government for Approval Before Publication|date=2019-06-24|url=https://www.globalresearch.ca/ny-times-admits-it-sends-stories-us-government-approval-before-publication/5681831|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210808191326/https://www.globalresearch.ca/ny-times-admits-it-sends-stories-us-government-approval-before-publication/5681831|archive-date=2021-08-08|retrieved=2022-06-23}}</ref>

It is a major mouthpiece for [[United States of America|United States]] [[fascism]] and [[liberalism]]. A recent article published on 2 February 2024 and written by Thomas Friedman (a three-times Pulitzer winner) horrifically dehumanized the Palestinian people, in the mist of the [[Palestine|Palestinian genocide]] and the other peoples of the middle east by comparing them to bugs. Per [[Ben Norton]], "the NY Times is comparing victims of US-Israeli genocide and colonialism to insects. This is the contemporary equivalent of Nazi rhetoric that dehumanized their victims as cockroaches. Except now fascist ideology is so mainstream in the US, NYT columnist Thomas Friedman uses it."<ref>{{Web citation|author=Ben Norton|newspaper=Twitter|title=The NY Times is comparing victims of US-Israeli genocide and colonialism to insects.|date=2024-02-04|url=https://twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/1753941615440429433}}</ref>

Social-imperialism

2025-08-09T17:28:24Z

140.248.30.0: Filled in bare citations. Cannot find the direct quote in the Mao piece about USSR being “Hitlerite” through ctrl+F, possibly because my browser has trouble with the MIA site. -C:

'''Social-imperialism''' is a term commonly used by [[Ultra-leftism|ultra-leftists]] to suggest that [[Actually existing socialism|socialist states]], such as the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)|Soviet Union]] after [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]] and the [[People's Republic of China]] after [[Mao Zedong]], had ceased to be socialist and instead became [[Fascism|fascist]] and [[Imperialism|imperialist]].

== History ==
As a term, "social-imperialism" originated in a 1916 quote by [[Vladimir Lenin]] where he describes the [[liberal]] [[Social democracy|social-democratic]] [[SPD]] as "socialist in name, imperialist in deeds".<ref>
{{Citation
| author = V.I. Lenin
| year = 1916
| title = Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism
| title-url = https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/index.htm
| chapter = CRITIQUE OF IMPERIALISM
| chapter-url = https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ch09.htm
| pdf = https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/imperialism.pdf
| quote = “Social-Democratic” Party of Germany are justly called “social-imperialists,” that is, socialists in words and imperialists in deeds;
}}
</ref> In this context, the term is similar to "social chauvinism"; notably, the suggestion was not that such organizations were formerly socialist and had turned imperialist, but rather that they ''were'' imperialist organizations under a veneer of fake socialist phraseology.

Afterward, the term was not used again in any notable Marxist texts or analyses until it was reintroduced by Mao in 1964, after the [[Sino-Soviet split]], when he described the [[Nikita Khrushchev|Khrushchev]]-era Soviet Union as "a [[National Socialism|Hitlerite]] imperialist state".<ref>
{{Citation|author=Mao Zedong|year=1964|title=On Khrushchov’s Phoney Communism and Its Historical Lessons for the World|title-url=https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/1964/phnycom.htm|mia=}}
</ref> The term subsequently saw further use in [[Enver Hoxha]]'s treatise "Imperialism and the Revolution".<ref>
{{Citation|author=Enver Hoxha|year=1978|title=Imperialism and the Revolution|title-url=https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/works/imp_rev/imp_ch4.htm}}
</ref>

Notably, neither Mao nor Hoxha ever explained what the material basis of a "social-imperialist" state would be, and what the [[social formation]] of such a state looked like. [[Marxism-Leninism]] traditionally holds that the class character of a state changes only through [[Counterrevolution|(counter)]][[revolution]], and not through [[reform]] alone; with this in mind, it is generally accepted by Marxist-Leninists today that the theory of "social-imperialism" lacks a material explanation, and may in fact constitute a [[Left communism|left deviation]].

Historical revisionism

2025-08-07T04:57:54Z

140.248.30.0: Another short section on Cold War historical revisionism -C:

In [[historiography]], '''historical revisionism''' is the process of revisiting, reexamining, and attempting to revise the established, commonly-held view of an historical event. This can be a good thing when the conclusions reached are supported by the evidence and lead to a more accurate understanding of the past; or bad when it paints in inaccurate picture of the past and relies on incorrect, selective, or manipulated data.

When used in Marxist contexts it can mean the telling of historical events in a pseudohistorical or ahistorical way. A relative of political [[revisionism]], which implies a betrayal of the scientific political view, historical revisionism refers to a betrayal of history or historical accuracy. History is a cornerstone of dialectical materialist theory. [[Cultural revisionism]] is a related term that implies a historical revision of culture, one that is always necessarily false. In other words, historical revisionism is a falsification of history, whether intentional or unintentional. Historical materialism ensures an accurate and scientific retelling of history, one which is told by the masses rather than by the bourgeoisie. To betray a materialist conception of history in practice, whether by error or by intention is to engage in historical revisionism because it is a regression into idealism and idealist errors.

It could be argued that all bourgeois historians engage in some level of historical revisionism at least when it comes to certain topics, because their telling of history is biased towards the bourgeois class and loyalty to this class, rather than truth or the masses, is the measure of 'accuracy'. As is the case for bourgeois science in general.

One modern example of historical revisionism is the way the [[Tibet Autonomous Region#Ancient history|history]] and [[Tibetan sovereignty debate|status of Tibet]] is misrepresented by [[Capitalist propaganda|bourgeois ideologues]] and [[Tibetan nationalism|Tibetan nationalists]]. [[Xizang Autonomous Region|Tibet]] has been part of [[People's Republic of China|China]] for over a thousand years since the [[Tang dynasty (618–907)|Tang dynasty]], and no country has ever recognised Tibet as a sovereign nation, yet many bourgeois ideologues (particularly in the [[Imperial core|West]]) as well as Tibetan separatists argue that Tibet is an independent country that was only forced to join China in 1950 after [[Peaceful Liberation of Tibet|a supposed "invasion"]]. They also often glorify the [[Feudalism|feudal]] era of Tibetan history when over 90% of the population were either [[Slavery|slaves]] or serfs and living conditions were deplorable for most people.<ref name=":3">{{News citation|newspaper=[[Liberation School]]|title=China, Tibet and U.S.-sponsored counterrevolution|date=2008-04-01|url=https://www.liberationschool.org/08-04-01-china-tibet-ussponsored-coun-html/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210619132116/https://liberationschool.org/08-04-01-china-tibet-ussponsored-coun-html/|archive-date=2021-06-19|retrieved=2022-06-20}}</ref> This gross mischaracterisation of Tibet's history is made by bourgeois propagandists in an attempt to lend legitimacy to separatist movements in China, as China represents a threat to the [[liberal international order]], and the [[Capitalist Bloc]] consequently seeks the [[balkanisation]] of the modern Chinese [[nation-state]].

[[United States of America|Statesian]] history of the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)|Soviet Union]] is similarly altered to suit the needs of their country's bourgeoisie. During the 1980s, a group of Statesians and members of the [[Soviet Academy of Science|Soviet Academy of Science's]] Institute of World History gathered to review Statesian and Soviet elementary and high school history textbooks with both groups concluding that the Soviet textbooks contained more accurate historical information, while the Statesian textbooks undermined and downplayed Soviet history and contained basic factual errors.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Barbara Vobejda|newspaper=The Washington Post|title=U.S., SOVIET TEXTBOOKS GIVE DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS OF HISTORY|date=1987-12-05|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1987/12/06/us-soviet-textbooks-give-different-accounts-of-history/f51c95e0-a5ce-4ab1-96d8-4f5ef2f33935/|retrieved=2025-08-06|quote="All sides agreed that Soviet textbooks contain a great deal more solid information about the world in general and the United States specifically," said Ben Eklof, senior fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center here.}}</ref>

'''"Israel'''", officially named the "'''State of Israel'''", referred to as '''Occupied Palestine''' or the '''Zionist Entity''' by the [[Palestinian]] resistance and its [[Axis of Resistance|allies]], is a [[Settler colonialism|settler-colonial]] state and [[Genocide|genocidal]] regime occupying Palestine.

The modern "State of Israel" has its roots in the [[Zionism|Zionist]] movement, a political ideology centered around the creation of a [[Judaism|Jewish]] state to replace Palestine. While many Zionists may be Jewish, most Zionists are [[Christianity|Christians]]. Of the 100 million evangelical Christians in the [[United States of America]], Zionists constitute more than 72%.<ref>Pew Research (2014) [https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/02/27/strong-support-for-israel-in-u-s-cuts-across-religious-lines/ Strong support for Israel in U.S. cuts across religious lines]</ref> This number of evangelical Zionists in the USA alone outnumbers the number of Jewish people worldwide, which is no more than 20 million.

Geopolitically, "Israel" exists as a forward operating base for the [[United States imperialism|U.S. empire]]. In 1986, then-senator (and later president of the United States) [[Joe Biden]] admitted that "if Israel didn't exist, the US would have to ''invent [an Israel]'' to protect US interests."<ref>{{News citation|title=Joe Biden says if Israel didn't exist, the US would have to invent one to protect US interests|date=2019-04-03|url=https://youtu.be/FYLNCcLfIkM}}</ref> The USA is the Zionist Entity's main backer and sends it $3.8 billion in funding every year,<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=[[Liberation News]]|title=PSL Editorial – Stop U.S. funding for Israel’s massacres|date=2023-01-26|url=https://www.liberationnews.org/psl-editorial-stop-u-s-funding-for-israels-massacres/|retrieved=2023-01-26}}</ref> most of which goes to buy weapons to use against Palestinians.<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=USA Facts|title=How much aid does the US give to Israel?|date=2023-10-12|url=https://usafacts.org/articles/how-much-military-aid-does-the-us-give-to-israel/}}</ref>

Today, most communists and Palestinians classify "Israel" as a settler [[ethnostate]] with aims to [[Palestinian genocide|eliminate the Palestinian population]] (see below). Other minorities are also targeted, such as non-white Jews (notably from [[Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia|Ethiopia]] or [[Kingdom of Morocco|Morocco]]), who are forcefully sterilized<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/28/ethiopian-women-given-contraceptives-israel</ref> or forced to emigrate from "Israel". These populations were originally brought in to give Zionists legitimacy over Palestine but since this has been achieved, they are now the targets of genocide as well.

== Economy ==
Despite being a small state, the Zionist Entity is the eighth largest arms exporter in the world. In 2019, it exported $9 million worth of military equipment and software.<ref>{{News citation|author=George Chakma India|newspaper=The International|title=Israel, the arms industry and global capitalism|date=2021-11-09|url=https://www.internationalmagz.com/articles/israel-the-arms-industry-global-capitalism|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211109185636/https://www.internationalmagz.com/articles/israel-the-arms-industry-global-capitalism|archive-date=2021-11-09|retrieved=2022-05-07}}</ref> It has provided military aid to the anti-[[Bashar al-Assad|Assad]] [[Free Syrian Army]]<ref>{{News citation|author=Daniel J.

The Entity’s relationship with Palestinian labor has been used to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. In 1920, "socialist" Labor Zionists created a federation of [[Trade union|trade unions]], the [[Histadrut]], to promote Jewish labor over Palestinian labor to create an exclusively Jewish workforce. As more settlers arrived, however, the settler bourgeoisie opted to employ superexploited Palestinian workers over unionized Jewish workers. Together, these tendencies work to exclude Palestinians from higher-paying jobs while keeping Palestinians [[Dependency|dependent]] on "Israeli" employment that can be revoked at any time in order to draw labor away from a weakened Palestinian economy whose [[means of production]] are being seized or destroyed by settlers.<ref name=":3">{{Web citation|author=Ihab Maharmeh|newspaper=Al-Shabaka: The Palestinian Policy Network|title=Israel’s Exploitation of Palestinian Labor: A Strategy of Erasure|date=2025-01-05|url=https://al-shabaka.org/briefs/israels-exploitation-of-palestinian-labor-a-strategy-of-erasure/|retrieved=2025-06-15}}</ref>

To further dispossess Palestinians during the [[Israel-Gaza war and genocide|genocide in Gaza]], "Israel" revoked the work permits of more than 140,000 Palestinian workers from both Gaza and the West Bank and took approximately 10,300 as hostages in October 2023.<ref name=":3" /> Early in 2024 "Israeli" Minister of Economy [[Nir Barkat]] was seen advocating filling the shortage of Palestinian labor with immigrant labor from Southeast Asia.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Sam Sokol|newspaper=The Times of Israel|title=Netanyahu, Barkat clash over delayed decision to allow in foreign workers to replace Palestinians|date=2024-03-12|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/netanyahu-barkat-clash-over-delayed-decision-to-allow-in-foreign-workers-to-replace-palestinians/|retrieved=2025-06-15}}</ref>

== International recognition ==
[[File:Countries recognizing Israel.svg|thumb|253x253px|Green: Recognize "Israel", Brown: Recognition withdrawn, Red: Suspended relations, Grey: Never recognized the Zionist Entity ]]
As of December 2020, the Zionist Entity has received international recognition by 164 of the other 192 UN member states. Besides not having diplomatic relations, the Zionist Entity's sovereignty is disputed by some countries (notably, the [[socialist]] states of [[Cuba]] and [[People's Korea]] do not recognize the Zionist Entity).

== Zionist ethnostate ==
According to whistleblower [[Eran Efrati]] (with many other ex-[[Israel Defense Forces|IOF]] soldiers saying the same), Zionist Entity's children are exposed to supremacist propaganda since kindergarten. IOF soldiers visit children in schools at all ages throughout the year to talk to them about the greatness of "Israel" and "Israelis", and how they are justified in seizing land from the Palestinians. These visits also serve another purpose: they reinforce the legitimacy of the IOF, so that children grow up to see it positively and, when conscripted, are proud to join and obey orders.

In March 1948, more than 95% of Palestinians still lived on their original land. As part of [[Plan Dalet]], implemented by the Zionist Entity's leader [[David Ben-Gurion]], Zionist forces and their allies attacked peaceful Palestinian villages. On 9 April 1948, the Irgun militia killed almost the entire population of the [[Deir Yassin]] village near Jerusalem. Between December 1947 and January 1949, the "Israeli" military and Zionist militias committed at least 29 massacres of Palestinians.<ref name=":0">{{News citation|author=Richard Becker|newspaper=[[Liberation School]]|title=Massacres were indispensable to creation of the Israeli state|date=2021-05-15|url=https://www.liberationschool.org/massacres-were-indispensable-to-creation-of-the-israeli-state/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220103013620/https://www.liberationschool.org/massacres-were-indispensable-to-creation-of-the-israeli-state/|archive-date=2022-01-03|retrieved=2022-06-21}}</ref>

After the withdrawal of [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] troops from the city of Haifa on 21 April 1948, the [[Haganah]], the Zionist Entity's military, rolled barrel bombs filled with dynamite and gasoline into the city and shelled it with mortars. The army played screaming noises on loudspeakers and only 4,000 Palestinians out of the original 65,000 remained in the city.<ref name=":0" />

By the early 1950s, 80% of Palestine was occupied by settlers and the rest was divided into the [[West Bank]] and [[Gaza Strip]].<ref name=":1" />

==== Six Day War ====
In 1967, "Israel" attacked Palestine, [[Syrian Arab Republic|Syria]], and [[Arab Republic of Egypt|Egypt]] and occupied the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights within five days. Due to the Six Day War, the Zionist Entity drove 300,000 more Palestinians off their land<ref name=":0" /> and occupied East Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine.<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=[[TeleSur]]|title=On the 72nd Nakba Palestine Faces Its Biggest Threat|date=2020-05-15|url=https://www.telesurenglish.net/analysis/On-the-72nd-Nakba-Palestine-Faces-Its-Biggest-Threat--20200515-0004.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220601035034/https://www.telesurenglish.net/analysis/On-the-72nd-Nakba-Palestine-Faces-Its-Biggest-Threat--20200515-0004.html|archive-date=2022-06-01|retrieved=2022-06-25}}</ref>

* In 2008, the United Nations Human Rights council mandated a report delving into the situation between [[Gaza]] and "Israel".<ref>https://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/docs/12session/A-HRC-12-48.pdf</ref> It found many crimes committed by the Zionist Entity against the Palestinians, including:
** that the blockade does not exonerate the Zionist Entity from providing humanitarian aid to Gaza, which they don't do,
** inadequate warnings against bomb strikes, including the use of white phosphorus weapons against hospitals which are not military targets,
** indiscriminate bombing in Gaza in retaliation for attacks from Hamas,
** violent, degrading, and arbitrary detentions of Palestinian civilians,
** deliberate military disproportion used in retaliation.
* Over the course of seven weeks 2014, "Israel" killed over 500 Palestinian children and 850 adults in Gaza. Four boys playing at a beach in Gaza were killed by navy precision missiles, although the Zionist Entity claimed this was an "honest mistake."<ref>{{News citation|author=Jonathan Cook|newspaper=Antiwar.com|title=‘Honest Mistakes’: How US and Israel Justify Targeting and Killing Civilians|date=2021-11-26|url=https://original.antiwar.com/cook/2021/11/25/honest-mistakes-how-us-and-israel-justify-targeting-and-killing-civilians/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412090916/https://original.antiwar.com/cook/2021/11/25/honest-mistakes-how-us-and-israel-justify-targeting-and-killing-civilians/|archive-date=2022-04-12|retrieved=2022-05-07}}</ref>
*In October 2015, the Institute for Middle East Understanding shared quotes from senior Zionist Entity government officials<ref>https://imeu.org/article/extremism-incitement-to-racial-hatred-senior-israeli-officials-in-their-own</ref> depicting supremacist and [[Racism|racist]] statements against the Palestinian people in particular.
* The "Israeli" Defense (or Occupation) Force, the Zionist Entity's military branch, receives and executes orders to shoot children with live ammunition. It was made most apparent during the [[2018 Great March of Return]], during which Palestinians peacefully marched towards the fence isolating Gaza, and were fired at with live ammunition including an as-of-yet unidentified chemical agent. Children also participated in this protest, of which 46 were killed by the IDF<ref>https://www.un.org/unispal/document/two-years-on-people-injured-and-traumatized-during-the-great-march-of-return-are-still-struggling/</ref>, many of them shot by snipers. As whistleblower Eran Efrati explained,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkxJd88xkBU</ref> soldiers do not decide by themselves to fire live ammunition—the order has to be decided, then given out to the soldier who executes it, then relayed back to command. Therefore, these can not be the acts of lone soldiers.

== Controversies ==

=== Organ harvesting ===
[[Aftonbladet]], a Swedish tabloid, published an article on August 17, 2009, reporting that during the late 1980s and early 1990s, numerous young men from the West Bank and Gaza Strip were taken by IOF forces, and “brought back after five days, at night, under tremendous secrecy, stitched back together after having been cut from abdomen to chin.” In the article, the families expressed fears that body parts were taken during unauthorized autopsies. [[Donald Boström]], the articles author, tried to establish a link between these unauthorized autopsies in the 90s to a group of Jews in New Jersey who had been arrested in 2009 for money-laundering and trading in body parts.<ref name=":2">{{Web citation|author=Donald Boström|newspaper=Aftonbladet|title="Our sons are plundered of their organs"|date=2009-08-26|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/Rx1n5A/our-sons-are-plundered-of-their-organs|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112220935/https://www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/Rx1n5A/our-sons-are-plundered-of-their-organs|archive-date=2024-01-04}}</ref>

Although this article was the first investigation into this matter by a western journalist it was also widely criticized for it's lack of evidence.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Jonathan Cook|newspaper=The Electronic Intifada|title=Accountability and the organ theft controversy|date=2009-09-05|url=https://electronicintifada.net/content/accountability-and-organ-theft-controversy/8427|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231120072751/https://electronicintifada.net/content/accountability-and-organ-theft-controversy/8427|archive-date=2023-09-20}}</ref>

A few months later in December 2009, an interview surfaced from 2000 with [[Yehuda Hiss]], the chief pathologist at the [[L. Greenberg National Institute of Forensic Medicine]], revealing his admission of extracting organs from the bodies of "Israelis", Palestinians, and foreign workers without consent from their families. The Zionist Entity's health authorities corroborated Hiss's confession but alleged that such practices ceased in the 1990s, and Hiss was subsequently removed from his position but still worked at the Forensic Institute.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Ian Black|newspaper=The Guardian|title=Doctor admits Israeli pathologists harvested organs without consent|date=2009-12-21|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/dec/21/israeli-pathologists-harvested-organs|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100412202630/http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/dec/21/israeli-pathologists-harvested-organs|archive-date=2010-04-12}}</ref>

On December 26, 2023, the [[Gaza Media Office]] concluded that the Zionist Entity stole organs after an investigation into 80 Palestinian bodies that were handed over to Palestinian authorities in Gaza at the Karam Abu Salem border crossing. Gaza Media Office further noted that this was not the first time the Zionist Entity committed these crimes. They cited previous instances where the IOF had desecrated graves in Jabalia, stole corpses, and had retained and continue to retain numerous bodies taken from the Gaza Strip.<ref>{{Web citation|author=Leila Warah|newspaper=Mondoweiss|title=Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 82: Israel accused of harvesting organs from dead Gazans|date=2023-12-27|url=https://mondoweiss.net/2023/12/operation-al-aqsa-flood-day-82-israel-accused-of-harvesting-organs-from-dead-gazans/|archive-url=https://archive.ph/kiipQ|archive-date=2023-12-27}}</ref>

In addition to these reports, [[Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor]] cited remarks by medical professionals in Gaza, “who found that vital organs, such as livers, kidneys, hearts, cochleae and corneas were missing in the bodies released by [the Zionist Entity].” Medical staff further noted that the Zionist Entity dug up and seized bodies from a mass grave located in the courtyard of al-Shifa hospital.<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=PressTV|title=Israel releases 80 mutilated bodies with stolen organs for burial in Gaza|date=2023-12-27|url=https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/12/27/717126/Israel-Gaza-mutilated-bodies-stolen-organs|archive-url=https://archive.ph/Wj3DP|archive-date=2023-12-28}}</ref>
