      To be clear, if you personally commit a hate crime murder or rape:

      Don’t kill yourself. You’re still human. Fix your shit, find out what made you suck, and do everything you can to compensate for how much you fucked up the world.

      If you join the industrial hate crime rape extermination factory on purpose, when you could have run or spent a month in prison instead: You cannot be redeemed, you cannot be of value to humanity, and you can never be human again, if you ever were. The only thing left to you is to killeveryone who made you what you are, and then yourself. Please hurry; every moment you continue to exist defiles the world.

    Yeah, death to all the 18 year old conscripts who are literally forced to join the IDF to commit atrocities (forced conscription), while also being blasted pro-war propaganda by their national bourgeois.

    Kill kill kill I love murder I love suicides I love dehumanizing I love proletariat blood flowing if they happen to be on the bad side.

            you can just spend your time in prison rather than serving.

            Still only an option for the privileged - any Israeli who does that had better come from a rich enough family to keep them safe in that jail. I remember what they did to conscientous objectors here in Apartheid-South Africa - not pretty. And Israel is probably far, far worse in that regard.

            You first-worlders do not understand what being born into a militarised fascist state is all about.

      I have met people who left rather than join. I have seen posts from people saying ‘I was in prison because i refused to’. Those are people. Those people deserve out compassion, and support if they need it despite where they were born.

      These mother fuckers? No. Sorry. You join, I will never be sad about you dying. I may find it funny.

      proletariat

      Lol these are fucking colonizers

      Mods?

      Again, are you fuvking high? Do you know what that fucking word means? Colonizers do not create. They exploit.

      the bad side

      Hey, so, what makes them the bad side, do you think? Is it the genocide, the passion for rape, the laboratory of oppression, or the fact many of them practice circumcision and I’m just a combination antisemite foreskin enjoyer?

        have you seen what they do to kids in elementary schools there? they literally brainwash them into being genocidal….
        then if they refuse military service they go to prison.
        suicide means they’ve been emotionally destroyed by what they’ve had to do… it makes sense, by the time it really sinks in they’ve already killed innocent people.
        they’re all people.
        it’s better than them killing more innocent people, but it’s nothing to revel in.
        some of the soldiers are genocidal maniacs, but i don’t think they’re the ones offing themselves

        Okay, but let’s at least try to remember that there is mandatory conscription and service in Israel and that there is probably a significant proportion of people who have no other choice but to serve in the IDF. I am in no way attempting to excuse genocidal and homicidal actions that anyone has taken, but let’s at least attempt to understand the complexity of the issue instead of trying to reduce things to an unnaturally binary state.

        Life is infinitely complex. Let’s use the wonderful tools of understanding that complex evolutionary pathways have afforded us to try to scratch the surface of that infinity. Empathy is strength; don’t let right-wing propaganda teach you that it is a weakness.

          fuck that genocide-enabling noise. if your choices are to go to prison or take part in mass murder of innocents, then you don’t get a pass for opting to kill people to save yourself some discomfort.

          They literally have other choices than joining the IDF. That choice is gaol, instead they choose to commit genocide.

            Exactly the excuse “oh I had to make that choice or else I would have suffered” is so lacking in solidarity that it’s infuriating.

            This is how hierarchy maintains its power, by saying “hurt them or we will hurt you; do what we say or else”; making people believe it is acceptable to sacrifice the lives of others to remain safe under the current system. Their power is entirely predicated on people having that fear keeping them in line and obeying their orders.

            We’ve seen now what happens in Israeli gaols - I can only imagine that they’d treat perceived “traitors” the same as Palestinians; perhaps worse.

            They don’t deserve our sympathy, but they definitely deserve empathy. Choosing to turn off your empathy for groups of people is sociopathy and that’s a road I’m unwilling to go down.

    Gonna get downvoted but fuck this.

    The IDF is terrible, the Israeli government is terrible, it is genocidal and there is no excuse for that.

    Yet, the IDF is mandatory for all 18yo in Israel, meaning that you could be completely against the IDF and the government, and still be in the IDF.

    Imagine being an 18yo who sees the genocide, understands the that Israel is in the wrong, and is now forced to join the army that is in the process of a genocide, and immediately receiving a gun. Fucked up situation that might even lead someone to suicide, especially if maybe you are already in a dark place.

    My point is that there are IDF soldiers that are absolutely genocidal, the IDF as an army is horrific, but because of mandatory conscription you can’t treat it the same as a voluntary army where people choose to be there (kinda, poverty and propaganda can often make it more complex)

    Just as I wouldn’t celebrate the suicide of a Russian just because of what Russia is doing, I wouldn’t celebrate the suicide of an Israeli just because they were forced to join the IDF.

    I think that these mindless celebrations of death jist fuel the cycle of hatred. If you support a genocide I have no compassion for you, but a forced conscription is not a choice.

      Or instead of joining the IDF, you get the jail time of a few months.

      But I guess they’re just following orders, so they’re actually absolved of the rape and genocide.

        Sure, a few months in jail seems like an option, But there are 2 important factors here:

        • Wether they are going to be combatants or not
        • The fact that these are young adults / teens in a very normalized situation.

        If you are 18yo and fresh out of school, understand that the IDF is in the wrong and condemn it but are now facing the choice between doing what society expects of you and going for 2-3 years of office work at the IDF or go against the law, go to jail for an unknown amount of months and possibly face social consequences, you might choose the office work. It does not obsolve you from all faults, but it does not make you genocidal or a rapist.

        This approach of grouping everyone together is just adding more fuel to the fire. Everyone sticks their head in the sand and says “This is the problem, there is no nuance!” And guess what? Sometimes you will be more right and sometimes you will be more wrong, but you will very very rarely be correct.

          There is no innocent IDF member, even if they were brainwashed into serving. Just following orders isn’t an excuse, we learned that via the Nuremberg trials.

          I feel no sympathy for an IDF member, as I do for the American soldiers in Vietnam. Drafting doesn’t absolve you of war crimes, even if you feel guilty of it. People died, and it’s their fault.

            Thats not a good example because in Nuremberg trials they specifically trialed generals and political leaders, which held positions that were directly related to the crimes, I don’t think generals in the IDF are remotely close to innocent.

            But by putting a general who planned and executed war crimes and an office worker that maybe was responsible for office supplies in the same category, you are ignoring the reality of the situation and you are harming the severe and important definition of war crimes.

            Your blind categorisation is harming your cause, which I assume is justice and protection of human rights and life.

        It’s not just jail though. Like any society, their are expectations that come with being a participant in it. Shame, family and pressure make that solution not an easy choice. I get what you are saying, and it’s easy to say that from the outside. History tells us that much baggage comes with going against the norm. Power to you,just realize it has impacts beyond just ‘your’ life. Not saying that is a good thing, just that it is a thing.

      Your point misses that it is not mandatory and they could instead go to gaol for short period of time rather than commit genocide and murder babies.

      Your point is bad and your should feel bad for running defense and trying to paint them as innocent and/or victims.

        Firstly I couldn’t find anything about “gaol” so I don’t know what you mean…

        Secondly, armies are mostly non-combatant soldiers, which can range from working on weapons to office workers. As fucked up as the IDF is, if you are forced to join it and become an office worker, you might not be free of fault, but you are far from committing a genocide or murdering babies.
