    Um I realize that the IDF has been posting evidence of warcrimes on TikTok but have you considered that they are neurodivergent and a minor?

    I can't imagine straight-out-of-high-school 18-year-old me even coming as close to being as demonic as the IDF has been. I'm sure many other people couldn't either, but I can only speak for myself ultimately.

    What about me is different?

      Yes I agree. They call the teens kids as if they didn't have cognitive reasoning. The main difference between a child and a teen is that they can think for them selves.

      If bombing people is what they think is correct, then they where either raised wrong when they where kids, or just brainwashed to think the evil way.

        People still operate in their material interests, the justification comes afterward. The "brainwashing" is more of a post-conclusion justification, a dehumanizing of the "enemy" to justify the economic interests of settler colonialism and maintaining an Imperialist Foothold for the American Empire.

    Me being stupid at 18:

    • Drinking vodka thinking it was slightly stronger than beer

    • Wandering around cities looking for small restaurants without a water bottle

    • not wearing sunscreen

    • thinking sociology is boring and not taking a second class in it

    thinking-about-it Huh, genocide is missing.

    Counter point, I was a teen/early 20 something in Iraq... I deserved to be brutally killed by the people of Iraq, that would have been fair and just.

    Glad I didn't get smoked though, I've made some positive changes.

    Edit: I was also pretty fucked up and sick from being abused and raised in a cult - guess what, still didn't maraud civilians. I had opportunities where I could have unloaded on people that seemed threatening and the military would have probably run cover for me and my team... Still didn't kill anyone.

    Okay so that means Israel is evil for brainwashing their teens and throwing them into an insane situation, right? Right? Logical next step, right?

      No, Israel had no choice but to commit genocide because it is a smol bean, so the IOF is actually just a tragic figure.

    Oh yeah. When I was 19, I loved to murder entire families of people and then record videos of myself sniffing their panties. So relatable

    More concern for the feelings of teen war criminals than their dead child victims

    They should be killed by a .50 BMG sniper rifle or blown up with an anti tank missile eric-andre

    Another 2 trillion dollars to display professionalism found in isis. You can be honest and say "they like to do and show their atrocities while we like to see their atrocities, do not look at something we intend for domestic audience"
