But it seems like every fucking day there’s a new video of drones blowing up cars, snipers shooting kids, POW’s getting murdered. Generals should have known that letting cameras on a battlefield was a bad idea since Vietnam. Now personally I think it’s good this stuff is being documented, not like I want it to happen or want to see it but at least there’s evidence, but I’m thinking from a warmongers perspective, why would you want footage of war to be so wildly disseminated? How hard is it to take away a phone from a soldier? I don’t know how to feel about this, I just know it’s an incredibly wide security gap that no army is willing to plug.

    They do; Gaza is not Vietnam; the average American was against war crimes in Vietnam and valued some imagined right to ignorance of them. The average Israeli however celebrates war crimes, they are not at all horrified by the videos of civilians being gunned down, homes being destroyed, or of starving civilians; to them, babies are just ‘terrorists’ waiting to be old enough.

    Also never mind the IOF; Israeli journalists, politicians and citizens who get airtime openly talk about wiping Gaza off the map and taking the land for themselves, and that Arabs are just savage hordes. They also know they can get away with it because our democrat president is saying he’s going to let them get away with it; democrats are the most likely to revise ties with Israel (because of the facade of progressiveness) and even democrats won’t do it. They know they can do whatever they want.
