    Back in 1994, the IDF granted Itamar Ben-Gvir an exemption from mandatory military service due to his right wing views. He has since been convicted (in Israeli courts) of supporting a terrorist organization, and is currently serving as Israel’s minister of national security; and is a key figure in maintaining the current governing coalition.

    The governing coalition has been in constant tension with senior IDF leadership, which has long argued that all achievable military objectives in Gaza have been achieved, and that continued operation is counter productive.

      The IDF is still full of foot soldiers who have willingly and knowingly prosecuted the Palestinian Genocide, the entire “military” structure is complicit top to bottom. IDF soldiers all the way from the top leadership down to grunts deserve to be in jail equally.

      Israeli society has been radicalized into genocide, complicity is omnipresent and distributed down chains of command, if IDF personnel think they can argue “I was just following orders!” they are ignorant fools who refused to learn history or listen to basic calls for human empathy and they deserve to be prosecuted as active and willing participants in the Palestinian Genocide to the full extent possible.

      Over 120k people dead. Most buildings and infrastructure turned to rubble. “Mission accomplished”.
