      Have you heard how many Israeli civilians likely died of friendly fire on Oct 7? Apparently “it would be inhumane to investigate” but they were shelling homes with tanks and they attacked Hamas at the rave with helicopters. Some of the eyewitnesses from the kibbutz attacks have interviews published and they’re all insane and corroborate the same things.

        I’ve not seen an estimate on how many precisely but I have heard IDF soldiers quoted as saying they were operating weapons they weren’t trained on and they were just mowing down anything that moved. Kinda jives with what we’re seeing here with them killing the hostages they were there to rescue.

      The fact that they continue calling themselves the “most moral army in the world” while blatantly doing a geneva convention any% speedrun drives me up the fucking wall.

        welcome to postmodern authoritarian conservatism. it premiered to the public with george dubya bush just randomly declaring victory in iraq and afghanistan knowing full well those wars would last over a decade after the declaration of victory, carried through trump just declaring that he had the biggest inauguration crowd ever, then stopped off briefly at “the election was stolen” and now its “the most moral army in the world hunts down and kills its own citizens”.

          Remember the “women and girls” in Afghanistan suddenly getting sympathy from pro-war journalists the second the US pulled out?
