I hope these IDF soldiers wake up. You can't kill people without killing part of yourself.

I'm seeing so many parallels to our false wars in the Middle East. The vast majority of US soldiers who died did so by suicide.

Also netanyahu trying to create more generations of terrorism so he can have forever wars that keep him in absolute control. That's literally what we did, he is copying us play by play. Or perhaps we have a hand in what is happening as well... At least our intelligence agencies that is

I swear this is almost trying to parody the title of the article about the 19 year old who was burned alive

I'm sure we'll soon get an article about how the pilot felt sad about bombing a hospital.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Something about he at the end of a hard day of bombing schoolyards and hospitals filled with "human animals" going home to his young wife and 5 month old baby with a sad look on his face.

You would think it would be easy to find some poor conscript fuck who didn't run over civilians in a bulldozer struggling with the fact that they were coerced into being part of a genocide, but no, CNN goes with the guy who crushed human beings. Even as attempted hasbara, that's some high-level incompetence in CNN.

CNN has to run every story through the Israeli censor in their Jerusalem bureau. The only mainstream outlet that doesn't go through that process is Al Jazeera, and Israel closed their offices.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Precisely: this is the story CNN and the IDF want you to see. No matter the CNN reader's reaction, the policy will not change.

So they do the thing because it is a demonstration that they can do the thing without repercussions. Bullingdon Club type mentality.

i sincerely hope his actions haunt him for the rest of his pathetic life

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I'm pretty sure they did.

Six months after he was first sent to fight, he was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder [...] Before he was due to redeploy, he took his own life.

Wait... He crushed HUNDREDS of people with a bulldozer in less than 6 months‽ What the actual fuck.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

Yeah, the IDF bombed buildings, then the bulldozers came in to clear the streets so the tanks could go through. At no point was anyone allowed to try to rescue anyone from the rubble, and those people are definitely not counted in the official death statistics. We'll never really know how many people were killed.

One of the reasons for creating the system of death camps was that Nazi soldiers and policemen tasked with murdering Jewish people and other undesirables had elevated rates of PTSD. Also, during the Cultural Revolution, the People's liberation Army switched to a lower caliber sidearm because all the executions were giving them carpel tunnel.

You don't want to loose sight of humanity just because you're committing atrocity.
