    I remember how German citizens were forced to see the concentration camps when the Nazis were defeated.

    With that in mind, Israelis must be forced to see what they have done. All Israelis have to be forced to see the concentration camp. Conscript IDF members to dig bodies out of the rubble. Make them learn the names of the people they murdered. I don’t think support would be nearly as high if they were actually looking.

    Sure there’s some psychopaths but I really think the majority are just indoctrinated and insulated. They could be reeducated.

      Nah, Stalin got it right the first time when he said they should execute 50,000 Nazi officers; apply his thinking here and maybe this time don’t be so conservative.

        And instead of killing them Dulles and the rest of the Nazi US government gave them jobs in NATO, the CIA, the West German government etc. very cool.

        The more you learn the more the phrase “Nazism wasn’t defeated in WW2, it was internationalised” makes sense.

      Nah, the Israelis support this pretty much across the board, acting like they just don’t know what they do is incredibly naive.

        I’m certain a lot of them only support it in an abstract sense and don’t grasp what they’re actually supporting. Internal media doesn’t show the bodies being dug out of the rubble or the literal thousands of mutilated children or interviews with the survivors or the other horrors in the Gaza concentration camp. I’m certain if we rubbed it in that the crimes would sink in. They’re still human, they just aren’t seeing.

          Everyone in Israel who didn’t immigrate as an adult served in The IDF or went to prison to not serve.

          They all know.

            Served in the IDF to drop bombs from thousands of feet away or inside drone bases miles away or inside armored vehicles with only screens to see the world with. The actual boots-on-the-ground engagement is low by design.
