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.

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

      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.

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

          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
