Before we get to the form let us try and understand why we now have it.
Allegations Against the Israeli Defense Forces and Government
Criticism of the IDF and the Israeli government often centres on the following key areas:
- Excessive Use of Force in Civilian Areas One of the primary criticisms of the IDF is its use of military force in densely populated civilian areas, particularly in the Gaza Strip. During military operations, such as those in 2008-2009 (Operation Cast Lead), 2014 (Operation Protective Edge), and the recent conflict, human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have accused Israel of using disproportionate force, resulting in high civilian casualties. The use of airstrikes and heavy artillery in these areas raises ethical questions about the balance between targeting militants and protecting civilian lives.
- Collective Punishment Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has been in place since 2007, has been criticised by many as a form of collective punishment. The blockade severely restricts the movement of goods and people, leading to dire humanitarian conditions for the 2 million Palestinians living in the enclave. This has led to accusations that the Israeli government is punishing an entire population for the actions of militant groups like Hamas, violating international law.
- Expansion of Settlements in the West Bank Another highly controversial policy is the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, territory that the international community widely regards as occupied. These settlements, which house hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens, are seen as illegal under international law (Fourth Geneva Convention), and they have been a major stumbling block to peace negotiations. Critics argue that the Israeli government’s continued support for settlement expansion undermines the possibility of a two-state solution and further entrenches divisions between Israelis and Palestinians.
- Targeting of Journalists and Human Rights Activists In some cases, journalists and human rights activists have reported being targeted or restricted by the Israeli military. For example, the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, allegedly killed by Israeli forces while covering a raid in the West Bank in 2022, led to international outcry. Human Rights Watch has pointed to such incidents as evidence of a systematic effort to suppress the documentation of human rights abuses in the region.
- Indiscriminate killings One example: An American-Turkish activist has succumbed to her injuries after allegedly being shot by Israeli forces in the West Bank. The incident occurred in Beita, near Nablus, during a protest against Israeli settlement expansion, according to Palestinian media. The activist, 26-year-old Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, was reportedly participating in the demonstration as part of the Palestinian-led International Solidarity Movement. Eygi sustained a critical head injury, and despite emergency efforts, she was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital. Dr. Ward Basalat, an emergency medic, confirmed treating her head wound before she passed.
Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, announced that Eygi had been shot in the head during the protest, a claim echoed by Palestinian media. The Turkish foreign ministry condemned the incident as a “murder,” accusing Israeli forces of responsibility for her death.
The U.S. State Department confirmed Eygi’s death, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressing his sorrow over the loss of an American citizen and urging for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Protests over Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank, such as the one Eygi attended, have become frequent and often escalate into violent clashes. The expansion of Israeli settlements and an increase in settler attacks have drawn widespread condemnation from the international community. The U.S. has already imposed sanctions on individuals connected to violent settler attacks.
The humanitarian impact of these military operations has been significant. Residents in Jenin have faced water and electricity shortages, widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure, and have been confined to their homes during the fighting.
The death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi occurred as Israeli forces were reportedly withdrawing from Jenin after more than a week of intense military activity aimed at dismantling Palestinian militant networks. Israel’s tactics in these operations have been sharply criticised by the United Nations, which has accused the Israeli military of using “lethal war-like tactics” in densely populated civilian areas like the Jenin refugee camp.
For those who argue that it only left wing voices who highlight the psychopathic tendencies of the murderous Israeli state then think again.
Here is conservative commentator Candace Owens:
Please then watch this and hear what a Zionist psychopath sounds like:

Therefore, it now seems an appropriate time to put a form together. Thanks to Luke Andreski we now have that form.
This form is designed to be given to anyone who defends these monsters. Whenever someone appears as a Zionist demon in front of us (physically or digitally) give them this with the narrative “Your psychopathy is now formalised. Please complete for our record keeping purposes”.
