** More IDF Soldiers Say They Were Ordered To Commit War Crimes and Kill Children **
Every Australian family whose sons and daughters are in the IDF in Israel should read this. War crimes:
‘In a new Haaretz article, multiple IDF soldiers admit to killing children
The Hebrew edition of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz just published an article about IDF soldiers getting PTSD from Gaza, but the article contained several admissions from IDF soldiers of killing children and committing war crimes, which were supported and encouraged by commanders.
One IDF soldier who went by the pseudonym “Yoni” in the article admits to opening fire on children, saying that an IDF soldier yelled “Terrorists, terrorists,” with him saying, “We go into a frenzy, and I immediately go up with the Negev (a kind of machine gun), and start spraying, firing hundreds of bullets. Then we rushed forward, and then I realized it was a mistake." Haaretz notes, “there was no terrorist there,” quoting “Yoni” saying, “I saw bodies of children, maybe eight or maybe ten, I have no idea, it was all blood, full of signs of gunfire. I knew it was all about me, that I had done it”.
“Yoni” then went on to say his IDF commander supported this massacre of children, saying, “After a few minutes, the company commander came and said coldly, as if he were not a human being, 'They entered an extermination zone, it's their fault, that's how it is in war’”.
Another IDF soldier named in the Nahal Brigade, admitted that he was repeatedly given the command to open fire on starving civilians at the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” aid sites, saying that “His and his friends' day starts at 3:30 a.m. Accompanied by drones and armored forces, they set up a sniper position and wait. He said that between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m., the trucks arrived and began unloading their contents. In the meantime, the residents are trying to move forward to take a good place in the queue, but there is a border in front of them that they don't notice.”
The paper quoted him saying, “A line that if they cross, I can shoot them, it's like a game of cat and mouse. They try to come from a different way each time, and I'm there with the sniper rifle, and the officers are shouting at me, 'Get off, get off.' I shoot 50-60 bullets every day, I stopped counting X's. I have no idea how many I killed. A lot. Children.
The IDF sniper testified that his commander ordered him to shoot at children waiting at aid sites, saying “The battalion commander would scream on the radio, 'Why don't you take it off, they're advancing towards us, it's dangerous,' The feeling is that we are being put in an impossible situation, and no one prepared us for it. The officers don't care about children dying, they don't care what it does to my soul, as far as they're concerned, I'm just another tool”.’

If anything, I see myself as a “witness.” I’d also be pleased, if you’d call me an “interpreter.” WIM WENDERS
