Why are Israeli soldiers sharing snuff videos from their genocide in Gaza? (www.aljazeera.com)

Decades of impunity, for the Israeli regime as well as its criminal soldiers, has led us to this point.

In one video, an Israeli soldier dressed in a dinosaur costume loads artillery shells into a tank and dances as the shells are fired in the direction of Gaza. In another video, a soldier is filmed dedicating an explosion to his two-year-old daughter for her birthday. Seconds later, a Palestinian residential building behind him is blown up. Other videos show Israeli soldiers setting alight Palestinian food supplies during a starvation campaign and mocking stripped, rounded-up and blindfolded Palestinian civilians.

And genocidal intent has never been so blatantly expressed by both soldiers and political leaders.

What baffles me the most is that of all people on Earth, THE Israelis are the ones doing this. After what happened before and during WW2, one would assume Israelis would do everything against all the attempts of genocide. But then... this?

Regressives the world over are not creative. They do what they do because they believe others will do it. They're bullies because they were bullied, and they don't want to be the victim, so they erroneously believe that means they have to strike first.

They never stop to think, "What if the world weren't shit? What can I do to make it better?" They accept as a fact that it is shit, and they believe the only way to come out ahead is to step on someone else.

When you get several of these people/groups pointing at each other, it becomes an infinite cycle.

Friendly reminder that all Jewish people are aware at a young age they are "G-d's chosen people". I'm sure there are many that take it far more seriously than a throw away expression.

Also worth noting for many there is no separation between the state, the people and the religion.

It's extremely complex.
