The IDF is a terrorist organization. Prove me wrong.

You know, at one point during this war, I thought, “they’re compelled to service, most of them probably don’t wanna be there, and we can’t hold them responsible for the orders of the state.”

Then I saw some interviews with some IDF soldiers. Then I saw more interviews. And it’s the same in recent interviews: they are happy to be there, and they absolutely love genociding Palestinians.

Fuck the IDF

I still think it's basically brainwshing by government propaganda.

Brainwashing can only go so far. At some point, (such as targeting civilian children) any sane soldier will crack and say “No”.

Probably. I’d like some further analysis on that, but I am definitely inclined to agree with you.
