“In one of the houses that we had been in, we had the big territory. This was the closest to the citizens’ neighbourhood, with people inside. And there’s an imaginary line that they tell us all the Gazan people know it, and that they know they are not allowed to pass it,” he said. “But how can they know?”
People who crossed into this area were most often shot, he said. “It was like pretty much everyone that comes into the territory, and it might be like a teenager riding his bicycle,” he said.
The soldier described a prevailing belief among troops that all Gazans were terrorists, even when they were clearly unarmed civilians. This perception, he said, was not challenged and was often endorsed by commanders.
@IndustryStandard@lemmy.world thank you for sharing this important story. Please be aware that lemmy.world heavily censors discussion of the IDF. In the future please consider sharing these stories in a better community.
I am well aware that this place only allows establishment media. However in rare cases such as this one the establishment media reports against Israel which is why I posted it here.
They are censoring things posted to Lemmy.world? Just deleting things that talk about the IDF? I’ve seen lots of discussion of the IDF, including this post in my feed, so I don’t think their censorship is working? I don’t have any attachment to .world, trying to find out if I should leave the server based on this information
LW adheres by the liberal-Zionist MBFC rating system and deems critical of Israel antisemitic. You can have milquetoast opinions on the occuptation here but anything which goes past mainstream stances will get removed.
Specifically LW does not allow sources such as Zeteo and Dropsite news which do great reporting but are heavily critical of Israel. Instead it opts to ban all independent journalism. This used to be under the guise of MBFC but after MBFC specifically added these sites as credible they arbitrarily changed decided that they are ‘blogs’.

I hadn’t seen the “blog” discussion before. He’s been pig-headed in the past, but that’s inexcusable.
Here: watch this. Give it like 12 hours.
IDF soldiers are committing a genocide and every single one of them should be killed and their organs repurposed.
We shouldn’t let propagandists throwing lies freely by stopping posting on lemmy.world
