The six sources — all except one of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity — recounted how Israeli soldiers routinely executed Palestinian civilians simply because they entered an area that the military defined as a “no-go zone.” The testimonies paint a picture of a landscape littered with civilian corpses, which are left to rot or be eaten by stray animals; the army only hides them from view ahead of the arrival of international aid convoys, so that “images of people in advanced stages of decay don’t come out.” Two of the soldiers also testified to a systematic policy of setting Palestinian homes on fire after occupying them.

Brought to you by the only* democracy in the Middle East. If Israel is truly a democracy doesn't mean the people voted for genocide?

* not actually true

The headline quote reminds me of some of the more bone chilling scenes from Schindler's List.

“I’ve heard statements [from other soldiers] that the hostages are dead, they don’t stand a chance, they have to be abandoned,” Green noted. “[This] bothered me the most … that they kept saying, ‘We’re here for the hostages,’ but it is clear that the war harms the hostages. That was my thought then; today it turned out to be true.”

This right here low-key bothers me most about the Israeli position. This war isn't about freeing hostages. You wouldn't blow up every building, every Hamas tunnel when you knew that somewhere these hostages have to be held AND you cared about their well-being.
