In mid-March, the Israeli army acknowledged that it has been facing the biggest mental health crisis since 1973.
Yeah, slaughtering innocent civilians tends to weigh on your conscience. If it was this traumatizing to pull the trigger, just imagine how the other side felt.
Something something Franz Fanon on the mental violences done on imperial soldiers.
They don't feel guilt at murdering Palestinians, they're just shellshocked from being fired at and seeing their (vicious) friends die.
Also they know they'll be living the rest of their short lives looking over their shoulder constantly. That must have a cumulative effect
I think many of these people absolutely do feel a great deal of guilt; that does nothing to absolve them of their crimes, but it would be more unusual for none of them to feel sickened and repulsed by their own actions than not.
Gas chambers were created because nazis on the eastern front were having mental health and ptsd issues after executing thousands by gunshot.
The IDF won't give him an army burial? Even after taking out a terrorist? Unbelievable.
In 20 years, we're going to get so many movies about how participating in the genocide made IDF soldiers so sad.
already happened https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltz_with_Bashir
Reading the plot I thought the dogs mentioned were an allegory for him killing arabs and then it turns out he was literally killing their dogs.
We can only hope he blew his load before he blew his brains.
Haaretz has previously revealed that ten Israeli occupation officers and soldiers had committed suicide since 7 October.
Only 10, huh?
I'd rather they frag their officers tbh, they'd do more good that way.
You such a big fan of child murder you want them to kill the 16 year old colonels?
if you're gonna kill yourself for being a child murderer, maybe you should also kill the other child murderers around you first? idk, just a thought.
It's like when I take edibles before cleaning my room- should've done the one first
Wow, who knew the army that loves setting fire to tents full of babies would have a problem with mental illness
Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is The IDF Real Hahahaha My Friend Just Walk Away From Israel Like My Friend Drop Your Rifle Haha
if i ever decide to fully commit to suicide, then i fucking damn well better commit to taking down some of the imperialists with me
