Another heroic victory for Israel. More.

The simple fact behind Israeli atrocities is, that
those behind them, in the typical colonial fashion,
don´t give any value for the lives of the people they
oppress. And oppressors try to find every way to make
their lives even harsher, and then they go and do this
kind of things. Just because they can, and because the
people their oppress can´t stop them.

Israeli soldiers who have been destroying Rafah probably
don´t understand their guilt when next suicide bomber
blows himself or herself and takes somes Israelis with
her/him. These kind of people rarely do.

Some articles claim that the Israeli army and inviduals
want revenge for the 13 soldiers that have died in
Rafah. And so their commit these terrible things.

But armies and invidual soldiers have no right of
revenge. If a soldier dies in action by enemy fire,
as cruel as it sounds, it´s normal. You can´t go
and revenge it. In military action, soldiers die.
If you don´t want casualties, then withdraw. Bu if
you don´t withdraw, if you yourself attack, then you
don´t have any right to whine about your own casualties
and call for revenge.

I wonder what the soldiers feel when they one day take
their own kids to a zoo? Do they remember? Do they feel
any guilt?

Probably not. Humans are very good when it comes to
evading guilt. We can convince ourselves that pretty
much everything is ok, as long as the reason behind
them is a noble one etc.
