๐งต After an Ha'aretz article revealed yesterday that Israeli soldiers are systematically torching Palestinian homes in Gaza, Ynet releases a shameless propaganda piece justifying/excusing the blatant war crimes
"an operational need to destroy those houses"
Who buys this bullshit?! IDF soldiers themselves proudly post videos of torched houses with the "May Your Village Burn" song in the background!
Basically, they justify it by saying that pretty much the whole Gaza Strip is a terrorist base - when they don't see any Gazan as "uninvolved" they definitely can't see any houses as "uninvolved". They think it serves as a justification, but they're just admitting to war crimes.
An officer in the Israeli Terrorist Forces testified: "We do this towards the end of the day, so that the smoke patterns can be seen far away and deter the Gazan population"
