The most moral genocide in the world. Purity of depravity.

The twin Israeli myths of "the most moral army in the world" and "purity of arms" emerged during the Nakba, primarily to fend off scrutiny of Israel's widespread atrocities - what can legitimately be called the Israeli military's culture of atrocity - during the Palestine War.
The Israeli military's conduct during the Palestine War was so morally depraved - massacres, gratuitous killings of unarmed civilians, rapes, looting, and of course expulsions were very regular features - that a report about its conduct produced for Israel's government remains classified to this day, and the existence of the commission of inquiry that examined these matters was never revealed to the public.
The Israeli film maker Neta Shoshani several years ago produced a documentary, "1948 - Remember, Remember Not" that touches on some of this history, and among other topics examines the Israeli military's culture of atrocity.
For this reason the broadcaster that commissioned the documentary refused to air it.
Now that bloodlust has become all the rage in Israeli society, and rather than denying the Nakba, "Second Nakba!" has become a popular rallying cry, the documentary is finally being shown.
The documentary was reviewed and Shoshani interviewed by the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz on 6 September 2025.
Among other atrocities the article relates the following incidents in Duwayma, a town southwest of Hebron and site of a major massacre on 29 October 1948:
[Begin Quote] "Another commander ordered a sapper to take two old Arab women into a house and to blow it up with them inside," the reporter continued. "Another soldier boasted that he had raped an Arab woman and then shot her. An Arab woman with a newborn baby was employed in cleaning up the area where the soldiers eat. She performed that service for a day or two, in the end they shot her and her baby ... The fewer Arabs that will remain, the more praiseworthy it is.[END Quote]
The Duwayma Massacre is infamous because in this case an Israeli soldier documented how a number of the town's children were killed: "The children they killed by breaking their heads with sticks." The article is unclear if this report is incorporated in the documentary.
The most moral genocide in the world. Purity of depravity.
