Decades of impunity, for the Israeli regime as well as its criminal soldiers, has led us to this point.
In one video, an Israeli soldier dressed in a dinosaur costume loads artillery shells into a tank and dances as the shells are fired in the direction of Gaza. In another video, a soldier is filmed dedicating an explosion to his two-year-old daughter for her birthday. Seconds later, a Palestinian residential building behind him is blown up. Other videos show Israeli soldiers setting alight Palestinian food supplies during a starvation campaign and mocking stripped, rounded-up and blindfolded Palestinian civilians.
And genocidal intent has never been so blatantly expressed by both soldiers and political leaders.
“The IDF has taken action and will continue acting to identify misconduct and behavior that does not align with the expected morals and values of IDF soldiers,” it said in a statement sent to CNN.
The problem is, this kind of behavior aligns perfectly with:
In one video, a soldier is seen going through a woman’s wardrobe, including her underwear, making derogatory, sexist remarks about Arab women.
A photo shared online shows a soldier standing next to a Hebrew sign spraypainted on a wall in Gaza that says: “Instead of erasing graffiti, let us erase Gaza.”
The Israeli soldier looks directly into the camera, then turns around and sets a pile of food supplies on fire. “We turn on the light against this dark place and burn it until there is no trace of this whole place,” he says as another soldier fuels the flame.
I couldn’t be more disgusted with where my tax dollars are going.

Yes, you can blame Israelis. There is no excuse for genocide.
The same reason a bunch of geniuses livestreamed themselves breaking into the Capitol and chanting about all the politicians they wanted to lynch. Glorification is a hell of a drug
What baffles me the most is that of all people on Earth, THE Israelis are the ones doing this. After what happened before and during WW2, one would assume Israelis would do everything against all the attempts of genocide. But then… this?
Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They’re bullies because they were bullied, and they don’t want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.
They never stop to think, “What if the world weren’t shit? What can I do to make it better?” They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.
When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.
Friendly reminder that all Jewish people are aware at a young age they are “G-d’s chosen people”. I’m sure there are many that take it far more seriously than a throw away expression.
Also worth noting for many there is no separation between the state, the people and the religion.
It’s extremely complex.
Source - ex is Jewish and I have 3 kids that are Jewish in the eyes of G-d.
Why would you assume that? That sounds really racist and is definitely naive of you.
How on Earth is that racist? LOL. This whole “I don’t like it so it must be racist” thinking is trash of this age.
You are assuming that all people of a country (Israelis) have some kind of inherent “anti-genocide” quality that is absent from other people.
No. I assume that most Israelis either have or know someone who lost their relatives during WW2. And even if it wasn’t most it’d definitely be more than in other countries. And with that heritage and history I would feel like complete dickhead doing anything that’s happening now. Even if it’s just a retaliation to terrorist attack, there’s reaction and reaction…
What a bunch of psychos.
Degenerate criminal cunts do things like that
We do a little war crimes 😂
There’s no penalties anyway
For Western powers*
Maybe lay off the stream of IDF propaganda up your ass and read some third-party news?

I’m going to be heavily downvoted again, but can y’all please stop posting Al Jazeera links? Al Jazeera is propagandistic media. They lie too often to be trusted. Every word that they say should be heavily fact-checked.

Wikipedia is a million times more reliable than Al Jazeera, is this sarcastic?

I’m sure there’s no controversies and criticism section for your favorite media outlet :)

How much do they pay you to deny genocide?
Also that account is BRAND NEW, as in less than a day.
I stopped caring after ‘most moral military’, and reading after ‘Arabs doing so’.
