Far from being “invincible,” the IDF’s morale is broken. Snip:
After a year of committing genocide in Gaza, more and more Israeli soldiers are quietly refusing orders to return to the strip to fight, saying they are depressed, worn out, psychologically damaged, and unmotivated, according to a report by Ha-Makom magazine published on 20 October.
The ultra-Orthodox-oriented magazine interviewed multiple soldiers and parents of soldiers who refuse to return to Gaza. When a platoon of 30 soldiers of the Nahal Brigade was recently ordered to enter Gaza for the latest of several tours, only six reported for duty.
“I call it refusal and rebellion,” says Inbal, the mother of one of the soldiers in the platoon.
“They return to the same buildings that they cleaned, each time trapping them anew. They have been to Al-Zaytoun neighborhood three times already. They understand that it is futile and pointless.”
Although they had only a fifth of their personnel, the commander still insisted they enter Gaza.
Hopefully them and their scab shrinks commit [redacted]
Real sicko shit coming from me. I got PTSD from being a colonizer in Iraq; I deserved worse and so do these fucking demons. God willing, their sins will find them and stop them one way or another.
Boy what a great time to have morale issues after you piss off all your neighbors.
They can not drop bombs and snipe kids if their loser ground forces all “burnt out” but zionists aren’t normal so I hope those PTSD are going well for them.
‘Everyone not dead or injured is mentally damaged’
Is that even different from usual?
I went to Kasol a village in northern India where all the hashish is produced it was full of Israelis with PTSD smoking their brains away. It was pretty sad.
I’m reminded of that anecdote from Wretched of the Earth where a colonial cop who’d been made his department’s designated torturer went to Fanon for help because his job was destroying him emotionally. When Fanon advised the cop to quit his job, the cop said that no, he didn’t want to quit his job, he wanted Fanon to make him okay with doing his job.
Fanon doesn’t say he responded by pushing the cop out of a window, but it would have been entirely warranted.
Tony Soprano energy.
They can stop, leave Palestine and go home at any moment. Yet they choose to stay and do more genocide, more war crimes, more apartheid. All while whining over how they are the real victims. I couldn’t have less sympathy for these monsters, I hope the terror of their actions will eat them up until there’s nothing left for them to do but to beg for death.
They were already mentally damaged by the zio brainwashing that led them to this point. Good to see their programming is shattering their psyches as it crashes up against reality. It’d be real sad if they all unalived!
They should crawl into a hole and die.
Hope the resistance helps them to get rid of that mental damage by adding physical damage.
aww did someone commit war crimes that haunt their conscience?God I wish the tank in that picture would fire
same thing that happened with this nazis, iirc this is why gas chambers were used. so they couldn’t physically see their victims while it happened
Early in the Holocaust, the Germans just had their troops carry out massacres through shooting, stabbing, burning, etc. This caused massive numbers of psychological problems among German troops. Although they believed what they were doing was a necessary evil, they still struggled to cope with that evil. A lot of them fell into substance abuse or ended their own lives.
Enter the death camp. In these, they could have only the most enthusiastic members of the party guard undesirables. You had to be a member of the SS in order to volunteer for guarding a camp. That meant the guards wanted to be there and took pleasure in killing Jews, Roma, communists, homosexuals, and so on. But they still found another way to absolve themselves of guilt.
Inmates were told to take a ticket and remember their number so they could get their stuff back after taking a shower. People voluntarily walked into the gas chambers because it was the same system used for everyday hygiene. Then the SS had other inmates move the bodies to furnaces, with a different set of prisoners loading and unloading. Even when deploying the gas used to kill people, they’d have prisoners drop the capsules into chambers by forcing them at gunpoint. When not gassing people, kapos were inmates used to enforce the rules during downtime. They’d get special privileges like better meals or access to recreational facilities in exchange for snitching and occasionally beating other inmates.
Every step in the industrialized murder machine allowed for nazis to tell themselves they weren’t the ones actually killing people. The inmates went into the chamber by their own free will. Other inmates disposed of the bodies. Guards weren’t the ones using the gas, they just forced someone else to do it, so that person was responsible. What happened at night in the bunks was the responsibility of the kapos. This is why after the war, they tried to defend their actions with “I was just following orders.” They got orders to make prisoners do things, then passed those orders down.
Enforcing and imposing these jobs onto prisoners was done at the hands of only the most bloodthirsty of the SS. They would gleefully torture and murder prisoners on a whim, which made sure the prisoners did what they were told (lest the guard get pissed and decide to torture you out where everyone could see). Other guards only had to watch, telling themselves it was okay because they weren’t the ones killing children.
This is how the German people rationalized their participation. Germans outside of the camps only had to report to police or local garrisons when they found “undesirables.” Those police and troops only had to load those undesirables onto trains, who took them out of sight and out of mind. Guards then got those people to get off the train and walk right into gas chambers willingly. And this is how nazi high command implicated the entire country in genocide.
Is this from something or are you just that good of a writer?
I wrote it out on my phone ( . _ . )
You’re good at it, you should do it more
That’s why they’re using bombing runs, too.
