❗️One in four Israelis turns to hard drugs during Gaza genocide, expanding wars
Expand
One in four Israelis now engages in harmful substance use to cope with the internal fallout of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its expanding wars across West Asia according to research by the Israeli Center for Addiction and Mental Health cited by Haaretz on 8 July.
The center said misuse has risen sharply since Israel launched its genocide on Gaza in October 2023 – climbing from one in 10 Israelis before the coronavirus pandemic to about 25 percent – with sedative use up 2.5 times, opiate and stimulant consumption nearly doubled, while the rate of use among people with post-traumatic stress disorder reaching 54.2 percent.
Users described ketamine, cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis, and prescription sedatives becoming routine tools for enduring the missile alerts, funerals, and mobilizations generated by Israel’s expanding wars.
Some Palestinian citizens of Israel reportedly also took to substance abuse after nearly 3 years of witnessing daily massacres in Gaza, turning to drugs as therapy remained inaccessible or unaffordable.

This is the sickness of imperialism, colonialism, and ethnic supremacy. Having difficulty to sleep is the least to expect of those who have been seduced to maintain this degenerate ethno-state. Even though that is not enough for making them stop the genocide.
getting every one of your citizens addicted to meth worked out great for germany. imagining netanyahu’s doctors sticking him 20 times a day with his own personal cocktail of uppers and downers as hamas marches on his bunker.
