alt Hacker NewsAs an Israeli, this is an inexcusable crime by IDF soldiers. Appallingly, I expect them to receive no punishment. My country's government is criminally racist.

Not a Jew, use to travel to Israel and am usually the sole person left still defending Israel. My gut reaction to 10-7 was to nuke Gaza for good. A lot has happened since then and now, even I consider it irresponsible to give Israel the benefit of the doubt anymore, as this enables such atrocities which I am sure are just the tip of the iceberg.
It’s not that Palestinians haven’t been caught lying repeatedly. It’s that the overall setup is just obviously allowing for such things to happen.
I wonder if 80 years of quasi-state-of-war let some circles in the Israeli power structure realize, that more conflict means more power for them.
Anyways, if Israel looses support from people like me, the overall image is probably in the absolute gutter.

Hopefully, such trigger-happy soldiers are in the minority.

Don't worry, they punished someone.
