Ok at this point I feel like a significant chunk of these atrocities boil down to abject failure to instill discipline.
This isn’t how a well trained soldier behaves, this is how some yahoo who got handed a rifle in a catastrophic failure of vetting and pointed at a crowd and told someone bad is in there behaves.
And I know for a fact that Israel’s military has vetting standards even for conscripts, one of Netenyahu’s cabinet members is noteworthy specifically because he was turned away from military service for being a stark raving mad lunatic who shouldn’t be trusted with a loaded gun.
They keep pretending like this Incident before you use a one off thing. However , there is a string of continual atrocities after atrocities starting with reporters being shot back in the first weeks, all the way through bombing hospitals and starving children to today’s horrors.
Netanyahu is the United States and they can’t even stop for that
They’re even using this as an excuse to murder West Bank Palestinians, who had nothing to do with this
They are out to do genocide so they can take the land. It is nothing more than that
Discipline is a relative term, right? It’s conformance to expectations. I think what we’re seeing is not failure to ensure conformance to expectations, but a shifting of expectations. And in fact this would be very consistent with the genocide charge.

This isn’t a faulty system, the soldiers are behaving exactly as they’re expected to behave. After all, the goal is a completed genocide.
