    If an IDF soldier fucks up and commits a horrible act are they held accountable? Having an official policy means nothing if it isn’t enforced.

      Well soldiers and armies are supposed to follow the rules set forth by the Geneva Conventions or they could be held liable under international court. And by definition both sides are responsible for war crimes, but you are right no one’s going to hold them responsible.

        I honestly don’t know if there’s internal enforcement or not.

      I hope it. If a war crime hase been committed, it should be punished. But I highly doubt that the army of Israel is full of war criminals…

        How long have you been playing attention? That’s a pretty common position that reasonable people start with but if you watch Israel and the idf long enough the picture changes.

          Long enough to see that there are no saints in this conflict, neither Israel nor Palestine and no one is much better or worse than the other. But what I know is that groups like Hamas are the real evil in this conflict, they are plain terrorists…

        They said they because Israel never is punished.

        They bomb infrastructure basically weekly and you aught to look into that time they took like 15 minutes to run over an American citizen with a bulldozer inch by inch as a crowd screams and begs for them to stop.

        Oh or that time they bombed a us ship.
