“The lives of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip depend first and foremost on the private and personal scale of values of the commanders in the Strip,” Har-Zahav wrote, adding that any senior officer who orders the killing of Palestinians simply because of their identity will not face consequences.
“A human life in the Gaza Strip is worth less than the lives of the thousands of stray dogs that roam the area looking for food. While there is a clear order prohibiting shooting dogs unless a soldier is in real danger when the dog’s jaws are locked on him, humans are permitted to be shot without any real restrictions.”

And we all know how the “I was only following orders” defence goes down in the Hague…
What in the actual fuck… Loss for words.
Its your right as a sane human to refuse a military order that is unjust. Rather be court marshalled than have that on my conscience. Even the Russians didn’t launch during the cold war era because they felt it wasn’t right.

This is a very unique Israeli strategy
Also it is a dumb strategy. I quote:
“…that surrender is the single biggest contributor to the containment of violence in warfare, offering the vanquished the opportunity to survive and the victor the chance to show moderation and magnanimity”
But if there is nobody resisting Israel it would not have the right to defend themselves onto their land.
Quite messed up.
Seems to be par for the course. Doctors have for some time now spoken about the vast number of children that have been shot. Not just shot. Shot in the head.
