    Apart from home appliances, seemingly all of the war trophy photos I've seen from either Russia or Ukraine have been looted weapons and vehicles. The only things I seem to see Israelis post photos of is them stealing from women, children, and the disabled. The trophies they're most proud of are the kind of drepraved Einsatzgruppen shit I've only seen in Come and See. Beyond any condemnation of the genocide, what the fuck is pathologically wrong with them?

      I've been reading Fanon and it's striking how similar Israelis are to French soldiers in Algeria. Rape, torture, sadism, senseless murder, and then when they come home they need to be hospitalized by their own self-inflicted trauma and guilt. The colonial situation in Palestine is definitely different because of the apartheid system (notably it seems apartheid or universal conscription have successfully prevented any of Israel's Jews from siding with Palestine in an active way), but it still bares many similarities.
