'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid

"It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. Then, once the center opens, the shooting stops, and they know they can approach. Our form of communication is gunfire."
The soldier added, "We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line from a few hundred meters away, and sometimes we just charge at them from close range. But there's no danger to the forces." According to him, "I'm not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons." He also said the activity in his area of service is referred to as Operation Salted Fish – the name of the Israeli version of the children's game "Red light, green light".

So the IDF is running its own Squid Games with a starving populace.

These are war crimes.

1. It's illegal to hunt animals using food for bait in most jurisdictions

Here we have starving refugees many of who haven't had food for days getting killed trying to line up for food
This is just savage and we don't even allow animals to be treated this way

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Netanyahu sees starving Palestinians as LOWER than animals and the TACO supports that.

Which makes TACO Don a WAR CRIMINAL as well.

Let us stress that point.

3. trump (and, to be fair, biden and every other president in the last 30 years) fully supports this

And now, bibi easily played trump into fighting israel's wars for them too. That's a new twist.

4. Growing up in the 70s...

...I just loved the whole idea of Israel. Born of the WW2 tragedy, and setting an example for the rest of the world. Obviously, as a 10 year old, my worldview was small, but still, it was easy to root for their success.

What they've (the state of Israel) become since then is so hideous it borders on farce. How could they let themselves approach Nazi-levels of cruelty? Don't answer. I know what's happened. Purely a rhetorical question.

your country.

It's another thing doing wholesale slaughter.

Netanyahu, you are doing evil!

[Jack Valentino]

6. THIS is ISRAEL COMMITTING GENOCIDE

Using "heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars" on unarmed civilians can't be classified as anything less.


TIME TO TAKE AWAY ISRAEL'S NUKES! A Genocidal nation should not possess the bomb!

[Polybius]

7. Only one country has ever voluntarily given up their nukes, and that was Ukraine

And look how that turned out.

[Jack Valentino]

8. It has turned out that the Russian invasion hasn't become a nuclear war---- so far....

But Israel has become a terrorist state, just like IRAN. No reason they should be allowed to continue to possess nuclear weapons.

[Polybius]

9. It's unlikely that Russia would have attacked them if they had nukes

Nukes are a grest deterrent.

[Jack Valentino]

10. and Israel as a terrorist state, no longer deserves to possess such "deterrents",

nor to have US financial aid assisting them to maintain their nuclear weapons program...

[Polybius]

11. My point is that they will never give them up

I wish they would too.

[Jack Valentino]

12. Maybe they can be "helped" with that problem, same as Iran is being "helped"---

Of course nothing of the kind will happen under this administration....

but Israel looks like a prime candidate for a U.N. action to eliminate
their weapons of mass destruction

At the least, the U.N. ought to send "peace-keeping troops" to Gaza
to stop the genocide being committed by the IDF,

and the United States should END any financial support whatsoever
of this "rogue state" of Israel, until NettyYahoo is OUT
and their behavior changes...

[Polybius]

13. Not just under this administration

But under any administration, at least any we've had some far. I don't see that changing anytime soon, unless AOC becomes President.

[Jack Valentino]

14. Ah, I don't really want the UN or the US to attack Israel----

but I am more than willing to support any such rhetoric,
in the hopes of modifying their behavior....

they have been making me into some kind of anti-Israel extremist,
when in my youth I was completely in support of them....

15. But but but whataboutism
