Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- A 24-year-old Israeli soldier living in occupied Safad, called Daniel Edri, set himself on fire yesterday. His burned body was found inside his car in a forest near Safad. Edri had served in both the Gaza Strip and Lebanon during his reserve duty.

The soldier’s mother said: “He told me he had seen horrors and said, ‘Mom, I constantly smell the burned bodies and see them everywhere.'”

Not an excuse, doesn't lessen their atrocities even slightly.

Get arrested then. It's better than killing civilians. If you think not getting arrested is worth committing a literal genocide, you're an objectively horrible person and are not worthy of the least bit of respect or sympathy. The laws written after WWII specifically rejects the notion that soldiers can absolve themselves of responsibility by following orders.
