“I’m bored, so I shoot”

[EasterIssland]

Israeli soldiers describe the near-total absence of firing regulations in the Gaza war, with troops shooting as they please, setting homes ablaze, and leaving corpses on the streets — all with their commanders’ permission.

Fucking hell it just gets worse

I saw this earlier OP.

How will these "soldiers" ever go back to living normal lives.

Trigger happy with zero regard for human life.

Laughing and cheering as they shoot down innocent men, women and children.

Nothing surprises me anymore and it's been obvious this has been the case since the beginning of the war.

You'd have to lose all your humanity and morals to be able to do this so casually.

Another really difficult read.
How does anyone justify it without understanding it makes them no different to Hamas?
How do parents send their children off to act like this?

I'm not familiar with this publication. So did they say it or not?

What's funny about dogs being used to rape prisoners? It's a horrendous thing, documented to have been used as a means of torture in several places around the world (eg. Chile). Allegations of this nature need to be investigated, not automatically dismissed and mocked.

Journalist @OrenZiv_ interviewed six Israeli soldiers who recounted how they frequently opened fire "just out of being bored."

I had never heard of +972 and it seemed to be dismissed as an unreliable source by some of the posters above, so I looked it up on a media bias fact check website.

Overall, we rate +972 Magazine Left-Center Biased based on the wording and editorial positions that lean left and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact check record. (M. Huitsing 1/7/2019) Updated (12/26/2023)

Giving immature young (mostly) men weapons, sending them into a war zone, where they feel frightened, yearn to be part of something, and permitting them to feel as though they can do as they like, is a recipe for disaster. It’s tragedy for everyone they harm and ultimately themselves. A war zone is not a safe place for young people to test boundaries and make mistakes.
