So, I hate to be this guy for Israel. But there are legal ways for this to have happened. I know the first picture in all of our heads is them running over prisoners. But it is a valid tactic to collapse your enemies trenches or building on top of them. The US has been doing that since at least Vietnam. Armored bulldozers are, of course, uniquely pretty good at this tactic. Although it is usually a tank with a bulldozer blade attached to the front.
Yeah. This ain't that.
That logic doesn't follow. Did you think collapsing a trench means you don't see anything?
Maybe just read the article from the many links in this thread about how they were being used to push bodies instead of talking out your ass.
A bit rude I realize but you would rather sound like you are from the middle and spout a fact that you know than just read and properly participate in the conversation. It's not helpful and it's infuriating at best.
I did read the article. Nothing in there screams war crimes for this guy specifically. Bodies do need to be cleared, badly damaged buildings have to come down, and it's normal for a person to feel pride in their work.
Seeing dead bodies is a traumatic event all on its own. Soldiers in every war this century have reported that as a problem.
I'm not saying he's innocent or that he definitely didn't commit war crimes. I'm saying there is not evidence of it here.
