"Use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity" is a very weird way to say "Killing your own people en masse to damage your enemy's chances at negotiation"
The whole policy shows how Israel views humans: as nothing more than assets. Property.
The whole point of birthright is to convince naive young Jewish people from abroad to make aliyah, marry Israelis and make Jewish babies. Bog standard ethnonationalism
Yup, plus they ally themselves with antisemite evangelicals here in
who just want all Jews to go to
so the world can end and we can all die and burn in hell
Really? Because the IOF swore up and down that this policy didn't exist anymore 
Given how much they've told the truth, I'm sure we'll eventually learn that they opened fire on the music festival that gets tossed around so much because they couldn't tell people apart.
Eventually we're going to learn that Hamas killed maybe 5 people at most, and everyone else died because of the IOF being trigger happy with bombs and missiles.

"What are they shooting at? We haven't even gotten there yet!"
Time traveler: "On October 7, 2023, Hamas will breach the wall and take many hostages in an attack where many will die!"
Netanyahu: "I know."
I thought this was already basically confirmed? All those cars were not destroyed by AKM’s and RPG’s.
Yeah there was a thing with the helicopter pilots saying "Well okay so we didn't really know who we were shooting at but we think they were hamas"
Oh they just... up and said it? Huh
Of course. There will be zero consequences so they may as well. In fact libs will probably bend over backwards to defend it. "Oh look what atrocities Hamas FORCED Israel to dooooo!
whomst amongst us hath not.. checks notes indiscriminately murdered hundreds of our own soldiers and citizens out of spite?
Surely libs will not go with "they forced the idf to kill their own civilians", right...?
The American press is even less honest about this shit than the Israeli press.
Western hegemony will keep supporting them regardless
Like we fucking said months ago. So all the X number is Israelis who died on 7 October that was tossed around was indeed bullshit.
1400 INNOCENT CIVILIANS~~!!!!!
1200 innocent civilians with titles like 'sgt-major'.
TBH the median age for a Sgt. Major in the IOF is a toddler.
this medal here is for teething
The Israeli government even recently downgraded the number to 1100
Oh, a new number dropped.
Hamas may have killed a few dozen, but I wouldn’t even bet on that.
👏 Most 👏 moral 👏 army 👏
Everyone is just gonna act like this is completely normal together with the cum extraction unit thing.
when i was a kid i was traumatized by all the terrorism shit that was popping off- and setting aside the fact that I now believe saudi intelligence may have kicked it off on our behalf, i didn't understand why anybody would hate our nation - or israel, and other nations allied to us, back then - it just seemed like baseless hatred
but in 2023 it's very easy to acknowledge that the US is the great satan, and our puppets in the middle east - saudi arabia and israel - are equally demonic. Our worst, most brutal critics, when they weren't on our own payroll, ended up being right. the Empire is so god damned cruel and evil. I want this to end so badly.
Not the conspiracy theory turning out to be true once again.
potentially civilians as well

also: added this to effort post about Oct 7th and Hannibal Directive: https://hexbear.net/post/1609134
and the whole haaretz site is giving 403s rn
Worth rereading these older stories in context with this story from haaretz
There was also an interview with a young woman helicopter pilot on Oct 7 that talked about how many times they went back for loads of hellfire rockets, free firing at things that moved. I can't find that interview now though, I don't recall the outlet it was in.
iirc that interview is mentioned on screen or audio is excerpted in GDF's video about Oct 7 Hannibal:
How Israel Merked its Own Civilians on October 7

news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
