    Currently following the ICJ live feed and some lawyer is providing video testimony of Israeli soldiers having some sort of internal challenge for snuff videos of committing atrocities on Palestinians. This is what some misguided people support when they say they are Pro-Israel in this conflict btw.

    I suspect there’s a lot of animosity but that’s no excuse for inhumanity. May all criminal acts committed be prosecuted, on both sides of this conflict.

    Why do we see so many videos of Russian and Israeli military being like that and not American? Is it because the US government is better at controlling the media or does the US military really have a better handle on behavior like that?

      You underestimate how little effort israel is doing to hide their war crimes. Their soldiers are mostly untrained Nazi extreme right wingers with a gun.

      Smartphones and CCTV cams weren’t that common before too.

      Before we had Snowden and Assagne that needed to leak western war crimes and we know what happened to those guys.

      America as army has since adjusted a bit. I actually commended them for their drone strike that only used knifes to kill one of their targets. Though by giving israel 2000 pound bombs to mass murder children at schools with, that reputation is now completely gone.

      The reason America adjusted is not because they found their humanity, but because they found out that if you bomb three entire families to kill one enemy, you create a hundred more enemies. And then the Taliban won.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The shooting of 17-year-old Osaid Rimawi in the early hours of last Friday is shown in footage from a security camera in a local shop that was obtained by the Associated Press news agency.

    The Israeli military said troops in Beit Rima had opened fire on suspects who had thrown explosives and firebombs, AP reported.

    Earlier this week, footage from Gaza emerged that appeared to show a sniper killing a woman as she led a column of civilians trying to reach a safe zone in November.

    In the wake of Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel, which killed 1,200 people, most international focus has been on the war in Gaza, where the death toll has climbed to more than 23,000 and most of the population is displaced and starving.

    The second West Bank video comes from a security camera in the city of Tulkarm, where Israel’s border police said on Monday they had killed three gunmen in a raid to arrest a militant.

    The footage shows Israeli security forces shooting at young men, at least one of them armed, as they rush out of a house, Reuters reported.
