They are merely a Squadron of soldiers charged with the Protection of Israeli borders no one can find fault with that.

The actual shooting is done by specially trained and specially assigned snipers, who've presumably been indoctrinated with the same excuses the IDF uses publicly to defend its shooting policy.

i thought about listing the excuses, but none of them are really a surprise. half of it is anti-Palestinian racism that they tried to hide by crossing out every instance of "Palestinian" and writing "Hamas" instead. the other half is a bunch of variants on "since we have use-of-force regulations and require command sign-offs for every shoot, that means that every shoot is therefore a good shoot"

you'll find the latter a lot in Western militaries. they'll have these complex procedures that are nominally put into place to prevent war crimes by imposing command oversight and strict conditions on opening fire. but in practice, command oversight just rubber-stamps everything and all the strict conditions are still super warcrimey. so in the end, all it really does is make the soldiers feel good about committing warcrimes because hey, if shooting those unarmed civilians was really that bad, surely the anti-warcrimes processes would have rejected their request to open fire!

It's not a border though is it

If it was a border that would beg the question what country are these people crossing over from? Cuz Israel, USA, etc. don't recognize Palestine as a nation so .............


The "every shot is a good well calculated shot" line is great because that means they're intentionally shooting at groups of clearly marked medics and journalists.

it rules that the world is run by people who at most are only specialized within their field, and because there's no real political system to rationalize and plan all their activities they just end up brainstorming for solutions based on what they think they saw once on tv or whatever.

It's giving them too much credit to even assume they're being serious about it. This is just a weak political exercise they can use an excuse to grind Palestine in the dust because they can be like, "see? we gave them an out."

Except the out they're giving is so loving stupid it doesn't even work as an excuse for future punishment.

also it owns owns owns that the they're simultaniously requesting dual-alliegance from the diaspora and being able to get all the "serious people" to yell at anyone who points that out as an anti semite. cake, eating, etc.

Because the fash are wholly brazen now and have the implicit and explicit support of the number one state sponsor of terror in the history of humanity, with a technological assymetry comparable to extraterrestrials landing and dissolving us with anti-matter beams?

a bunch of changes in the electoral landscape don't look good for Likud, but also don't look good for Blue and White and its party unity. for example, Ehud Barak coming in and splitting the right-leaning anti-Bibi vote even further

he's hoping that worries the far-right anti-Bibi coalition enough about the election prospects to cause some cracks and let him peel off a few seats

Salt/glass the region once the righteous or at least non-evil have been evacuated. We'll send Birthright tourists there just prior, too. Evacuate Palestinians, Iranians, Saudi non-royalty civilians, anyone else I'm forgetting that doesn't desperately need to be consumed in hellfire. Then once the background radiation is at safe levels, we try to restore life and infrastructure.

they're gonna be fine as long as they do some performative gestures every now and then. israelis don't really care for or understand democracy, they just want to vote on who gets to be the despot.
