Far-right Israelis try to storm military base and lawmaker defends rape of Hamas suspects as 9 IDF reservists face questioning over alleged prisoner abuse.
Sometimes it feels like certain parts of humanity just didn’t really learn all the lessons that they should have from the Holocaust about dehumanizing people.
There’s a reason that countries started agreeing on a set of laws of war, and it wasn’t the goodness of their hearts. It means if your own soldiers get captured by an enemy working under the same rules, they should ideally be treated with at least a minimal standard of care. But every incident like this or Abu Ghraib weakens those protections and norms.
Food, shelter, water, healing body, mind and spirit is the justice. When we seek retribution, we seek “just us,” if every “race” or whatever false construct we use to “other,”, it’s swallowing poison and expecting others to die, with apologies to the Buddha.
Nah, I’m pretty sure if I put a hole in somebody that wants to see me reduced to either prison slavery or a chalk outline for no other reason than the color of my skin, the texture of my hair, or who I’d side my solidarity with other than a morass of the people who oppress my community, then that’s one less colonizer I have to deal with.
May work out for you, may not. At any rate, the US defense department thought having drone operators in rooms far away from war would prevent PTSD (shell shock) by physically removing then from the atrocities of war. You can do your research to see how it worked out. If you care.

Seems a bunch learned which side of the gun to be on

Correct.
