It’s almost like just denying forever doesn’t magically make your war crimes go away

u/bradicality 23d ago

Yeah, not just denying but this is all because these soldiers posted their war crimes for the world to see. You know you’re in The Most Moral Army™️ when you are no longer welcome outside your ethnostate.

It really speaks volumes to the incompetence of the Israeli military (or how brazen they are) that they would even allow their soldiers to have their phones on them while committing war crimes.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we have evidence of what they were up to. But if I was committing a genocide you'd best believe my guys would be putting their phones in the bowl first.

They never had the balls to commit genocide for Israel , so they deal with it by distracting themselves with videos and dances tbh

ICC is for everyone to follow the rules set up by US and the west. That is why US will not follow them, it's rules for us, not for them

Do as I say not as I do you lower levels

Warrants would be a great help. At least here in Canada. ICC?

Individual low ranking soldiers don't usually fulfill the gravity threshold for ICC cases. It's usually the top brass and leadership the ICC goes after. Their budget is limited, so focusing on big fish over small fish is necessary.

Basically, ICC goes after people whose actions and orders have led to the death and suffering of thousands, or worse. They don't have the resources to go after every individual rank and file soldier who kicked a POW or shot a civilian, sadly.

No need for the ICC or any international court. War crimes, genocide, torture and the like can be prosecuted through regular courts in all states that have implemented universal jurisdiction. I would imagine Canada has.

Good. At last some accountability..

I've seen numerous videos of clear war crimes and sometimes with their faces. These people absolutely won't be punished by Israel, so I'm glad they won't get away with it.

Omg they warned dozens? GTFO. Call in the national guard. It's an emergency. You mean to tell me that war criminals who murder children are having trouble going on vacation? Those poor mfs. I'd feel bad for them if they weren't such incredible POS.

This is ridiculous, the ‘most moral army in the world’ cannot ever commit crimes. /s

u/bananagarage 23d ago

Ugh it’s like I can’t even kill woman and children and then go on holiday anymore… THIS IS SO UNFAIR /s

If you meet anyone of these IDF war criminals abroad, please atleast get their name. Perhaps pretend to be friendly and compassionate to them. Then get info one where they are staying and contact local police/lawyers and tell them there is a war criminal on the loose

Couldn't happen to more deserving people.

Such a moral army, protecting its members from the evils of justice.
