Like most of these, the article tries to point out the horrors that the IDF are committing, but still lets the individuals wash their hands of it.
They talk to remorseful soldiers about the trauma they "witnessed," never about the trauma from what they "did."
It lets them be passengers to their own villany, unwitting stooges to the mass murder of civilians. There is probably some truth in that, in that all war machines are designed to destroy everyone, including its own soldiers, but they still pulled the trigger and rammed the fleeing women and children with their tanks.
The talk of trauma like it just happened to them instead of being caused by them is a problem, and frankly too kind.
I do wonder how much "fuck you" I could get away with in the IDF today. I'd happily go to jail and lose all the respect of my friends and family before knowingly committing war crimes. I wouldn't put up with one second of torture.
So...would I be committing war crimes, too? I can't know.
