    I’m pretty sure they did.

    Six months after he was first sent to fight, he was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder […] Before he was due to redeploy, he took his own life.

      Too cowardly to do anything useful to make amends. Just let another conscript fill his space.

      Brave enough to drive over Palestinians and call them “terrorists in their hundreds”. Not brave enough to stand up to criticism from his countrymen. This is what spending billions of dollars on an asymmetrical war gets you: a system in which the weakest people can still take the lives of hundreds before being thrown away themselves.

        Yeah, the IDF bombed buildings, then the bulldozers came in to clear the streets so the tanks could go through. At no point was anyone allowed to try to rescue anyone from the rubble, and those people are definitely not counted in the official death statistics. We’ll never really know how many people were killed.
