Why are Israeli soldiers sharing snuff videos from their genocide in Gaza?

Decades of impunity, for the Israeli regime as well as its criminal soldiers, has led us to this point.

In one video, an Israeli soldier dressed in a dinosaur costume loads artillery shells into a tank and dances as the shells are fired in the direction of Gaza. In another video, a soldier is filmed dedicating an explosion to his two-year-old daughter for her birthday. Seconds later, a Palestinian residential building behind him is blown up. Other videos show Israeli soldiers setting alight Palestinian food supplies during a starvation campaign and mocking stripped, rounded-up and blindfolded Palestinian civilians.

And genocidal intent has never been so blatantly expressed by both soldiers and political leaders.

“The IDF has taken action and will continue acting to identify misconduct and behavior that does not align with the expected morals and values of IDF soldiers,” it said in a statement sent to CNN.

The problem is, this kind of behavior aligns perfectly with:

In one video, a soldier is seen going through a woman’s wardrobe, including her underwear, making derogatory, sexist remarks about Arab women.

A photo shared online shows a soldier standing next to a Hebrew sign spraypainted on a wall in Gaza that says: “Instead of erasing graffiti, let us erase Gaza.”

The Israeli soldier looks directly into the camera, then turns around and sets a pile of food supplies on fire. “We turn on the light against this dark place and burn it until there is no trace of this whole place,” he says as another soldier fuels the flame.

I couldn't be more disgusted with where my tax dollars are going.

BaroqueInMind,

Where would you prefer your tax dollars go?

What to do with 6 billion dollars?

  • Give all hookers a national holiday

  • Genetically engineer Murlocs

  • Throw it into a trash can and light it on fire

  • Create the world's biggest monument to cheese

Of course I would prefer to have it sent into programs that feed the poor, increase teachers and educational salaries, better affordable housing, student loan forgiveness, or creating better public transportation systems. Just anything besides this.

BaroqueInMind,

Agreed. How can we get this to actually happen rather than uselessly complaining on the internet like obese internet armchair political scientists?

There are actually quite a few happening across America, doesn't take much only a few minutes of your time, you don't have to stay the whole day, just as much time as you can spare. I have only participated in 1 thus far, I will be attending my second this week.

  • Email/Write to your congress

  • Email your president

  • Talk with your peers about the subject, help with any disinformation they have been given.

  • Don't give up.

BaroqueInMind,

Why do your comments all follow a pattern like an LLM chat bot?

NoIWontPickaName,

Because you’re a troll trying to influence people to do nothing instead of anything to resist letting Israel innocents with bombs we provided

BaroqueInMind,

How do we start resisting letting Israel bomb innocents? Please don’t say protesting because that shit doesn’t work as you can see since they’ve continued bombing the shit out of Palestine nonstop since October.

NoIWontPickaName,

There is basically nothing we can do, call your congress people and tell them you are starting to fund raise for their opponents because of their stance.

BaroqueInMind,

Please elaborate how I’m a troll then, if I’m trying my best within my power to actually change things? What the fuck is your obese ass trying to do to solve problems?

NoIWontPickaName,

Aw, little troll called me fat, what ever will I do?

I told you what you can do, next to nothing is still better than nothing.

Have fun in your mom’s basement, eventually you will find someone you can pay enough to have fun with down there.😉

BaroqueInMind,

I’m sharpening my kitana, brushing my trilby, and abstaining from bathing until the day we meet. You have made an enemy this day.

    watty,

    Yes, you can blame Israelis. There is no excuse for genocide.

    philo,

    It is crucial to understand the weight and gravity of the term “genocide”. It is not a term to be thrown around lightly or used carelessly. The act of genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. It is a heinous crime against humanity and a violation of the most fundamental human rights.

    Unfortunately, the term “genocide” has been misused and abused in recent times. The ongoing conflict in certain regions of the world has led to the misapplication of the term, especially in situations where it does not necessarily apply. The mislabeling of such conflicts as “genocides” is not only inaccurate but also disrespectful to the victims of actual genocides.

    The Tutsi in Rwanda, the Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, the Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, and Darfur are just a few examples of the horrific atrocities that have been committed in the name of genocide. These are real genocides with real victims, and to equate them with other conflicts that do not meet the criteria of genocide is to belittle the suffering and pain of those who have endured such atrocities.

    It is important to distinguish between acts of violence and genocide, as the latter is a specific and intentional crime. The use of the term “genocide” inappropriately can have serious consequences, including the potential to undermine legitimate efforts to prevent and respond to actual genocides.

    Therefore, it is essential to use the term “genocide” with caution and precision. Those who misuse the term, either intentionally or out of ignorance, do a disservice to the victims of real genocides and hinder efforts to prevent such crimes from occurring in the future.

    evlogii,

    I’m going to be heavily downvoted again, but can y’all please stop posting Al Jazeera links? Al Jazeera is propagandistic media. They lie too often to be trusted. Every word that they say should be heavily fact-checked.

    I’m sure there’s no controversies and criticism section for your favorite media outlet :)

    brain_in_a_box,

    Says Al Jazeera isn’t reliable. Posts wikipedia link.

    SpookySnek,

    Wikipedia is a million times more reliable than Al Jazeera, is this sarcastic?

    brain_in_a_box,

    Wow

    IndustryStandard,

    We do a little war crimes 😂

    Randomgal,

    Maybe lay off the stream of IDF propaganda up your ass and read some third-party news?

    Randomgal,

    How much do they pay you to deny genocide?

    natebluehooves,

    Also that account is BRAND NEW, as in less than a day.

    Doods,

    I stopped caring after ‘most moral military’, and reading after ‘Arabs doing so’.

    kurcatovium,

    What baffles me the most is that of all people on Earth, THE Israelis are the ones doing this. After what happened before and during WW2, one would assume Israelis would do everything against all the attempts of genocide. But then… this?

    PowerCrazy,

    Why would you assume that? That sounds really racist and is definitely naive of you.

    kurcatovium,

    How on Earth is that racist? LOL. This whole “I don’t like it so it must be racist” thinking is trash of this age.

    PowerCrazy,

    You are assuming that all people of a country (Israelis) have some kind of inherent “anti-genocide” quality that is absent from other people.

    kurcatovium,

    No. I assume that most Israelis either have or know someone who lost their relatives during WW2. And even if it wasn’t most it’d definitely be more than in other countries. And with that heritage and history I would feel like complete dickhead doing anything that’s happening now. Even if it’s just a retaliation to terrorist attack, there’s reaction and reaction…

    Friendly reminder that all Jewish people are aware at a young age they are “G-d’s chosen people”. I’m sure there are many that take it far more seriously than a throw away expression.

    Also worth noting for many there is no separation between the state, the people and the religion.

    It’s extremely complex.

    Source - ex is Jewish and I have 3 kids that are Jewish in the eyes of G-d.

    flipht,

    Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They're bullies because they were bullied, and they don't want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.

    They never stop to think, "What if the world weren't shit? What can I do to make it better?" They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.

    When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.

    DdCno1,

    The same kinds of videos exist from Ukraine, but nobody's outraged about those and certainly nobody is calling those "snuff videos". This is just propaganda from the government that finances Hamas.

    520,

    People are massively outraged at Russia for their actions in Ukraine, don't even need snuff videos to do to that.

    NoneOfUrBusiness,

    You're disgusting.

    Limitless_screaming,
    Limitless_screaming avatar

    The whole world is currently demonizing Russia. People are celebrating Russian soldiers deaths, knowing fully well that they're forced to fight this war. People are calling for their governments to send more aid to Ukraine, and to use frozen Russian assets to arm or rebuild Ukraine. Appearing to defend Russia or even being neutral about it might get you the chair.

    Your retarded point just doesn't stand, find something else. You can also just ask for a position as a cock sucker for the IDF instead of your current job in the hasbara department.

    DdCno1,

    I meant Ukrainian soldiers making videos like these.

    Limitless_screaming,
    Limitless_screaming avatar

    I've seen videos of them mocking Russian soldiers, and there's supposedly a video of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian PoWs in the leg (can't find it).

    NoneOfUrBusiness,

    Now let's see them get tried for it.

    highduc,

    What a bunch of psychos.

    white_shotgun,

    Degenerate criminal cunts do things like that

    SkybreakerEngineer,

    The same reason a bunch of geniuses livestreamed themselves breaking into the Capitol and chanting about all the politicians they wanted to lynch. Glorification is a hell of a drug
