IDF says it ‘completely rejects’ charge that its soldiers deliberately fired on any of the thousands of civilians killed in Israeli offensive

Israeli and foreign human rights groups have documented a long history of snipers firing on unarmed Palestinians, including children, in Gaza and the West Bank.

Palestinians in Gaza also report a terrifying new development in the latest Gaza war – armed drones able to hover over streets and pick off individuals. Called quadcopters, some of these drones are used as remote-control snipers that Palestinians say have been used to shoot civilians.

    Honestly I just don’t know what to think anymore when I see news headlines like this this, I just feel a whole range of emotions

    How could you do that to another human, especially a kid

    Edit: just to add, no war is normal

      Easy peasy, just take a page from the conservative playbook and don’t think of your “enemies” as human

      They’re not kids in the eyes of the extremist racists of Israel, they’re “human animals”.

      Zionism is clearly a variant of Nazism as can be seen by how so many elements are similar, from the style of propaganda, the relentless use of the myth of being both strong and a victim and how they talk about themselves (“chosen people”) and those they target (“human animals”), to the extreme dehumanization of the etnicity they’re targetting in words and actions and the extreme violence of their actions towards any of them whilst even feeling pride about it (to the point of it being normal for IDF soldiers to post videos of them murdering Palestinian civilians).

      Now consider that many who are in the IDF now grew up in a country ruled entirelly by Zionism and have know nothing else their whole lives but Zionist Propaganda about how they’re all victims and Palestinians are all “human animals” and it’s pretty understandable how many of them will gladly commit against palestinians - men, women or children, they don’t care - the kind of acts that those not indoctrinated since childhood in that violent form of Fascism see as barbarous violence.
