    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.

        They're dropping bombs on schools and hospitals they know what they are doing even from thousands of feet away

          There's a difference between knowing and knowing. The lesson doesn't sink in without the full sensory experience. Even the targets are chosen by the targeting AI Gospel, so they get to offload their guilt into Just Following Orders.

          It's not natural for people to be like this. They have to be carefully cultivated and propagandized at all times, not just when they're growing up but their entire lives. The conditioning can be broken.
