    “With thousands of Americans serving in the IDF, potential misconduct documented by soldiers themselves raises uncomfortable questions for US officials about their willingness to enforce federal law against citizens acting in an overseas war the US government funds and supports.”

    Thousands? What the fuck.

      A greater than normal percentage of Israelis are dual citizens, them being settlers and all.

    There is thousands of videos online of IDF soldiers documenting and cheering on their own war crimes. Looting, Pillaging, Abusing, Raping, Murdering.

    It is evident that they do not fear any repercussions and only when the international pressure gets to high, a tiny few get “investigated” or even more rarely get a small “conviction”.

    What is left of Israels civil society and every country that easily allows travel for Israels should be alarmed. When thousands of people that learned to expect impunity for the most gruesome crimes will come back to life among them.

    The soldier’s father said his son had “sent a congratulatory video dedicating a detonation to honor a friend’s new marriage”, and that the family business had received threats since the videos began circulating.

    A totally sane thing to do.

    It’s been an ethnic cleansing for a long time, and the US government and military industrial complex is complicit. They provide billions each month in exchange for commitments to use more and more US made weapons… What is it again, 3.8 billions per year for the next 10 years?… It was an Obama era deal that’s only recently been in effect.

    Anyone remember how 911 was motivated in part by US involvement in Afghanistan?

    This is how you get terror attacks down the line. For some reason people don’t like being ethnically cleansed. It’s a holocaust.

    No doubt it’s now considered part of securing the India-Saudi-Israel-Europe trade route that’s been negotiated. So now it’s a measure of how willing America is to watch and fund a genocide in the name of securing trade loyalties and weapons contracts.

      Israel has been receiving billions for decades.

      It isn’t an Obama thing.

      Can’t have a military industrial complex without a reason for a military.

      No reason for a military if there are no enemies.

      Gotta keep making new enemies.

      We have always been at war with Eurasia.

      Please stand by for the 2 minute hate.

    Hey can someone tell me real quick what the difference is between 1) a party that actively supports genocide, and 2) a party that actively supports genocide while telling you to your face there is no genocide?

      I can assure you that the one that supports genocide will magically increase said genocide as if the one that pretends it doesn’t exist didn’t already do the same thing.
