Then your unit commanders are doing a lousy job.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
So I have a genuine question for @vidic blood & sand and I I'm asking it in good faith.
Do you believe there's such a thing as Palestinian people, should they have their own state, and if so where?

Israeli rockets never hit the west bank, we dont use airforce or artilary in those areas, only ground troops.
I am truly and sincerely devastated by every innocent life lost, but my consience is clean because I know of the incredible lenghts we go to prevent those deaths, I know because I lived it, I was there. And I wouldnt waste my time spreading lies in a football forum.
I really truly hope this is true. I've always been impressed by Israeli police, but if they were in ANY way supporting or allowing lynchings of Arabs without properly protecting them (as some in here have reported), it is a complete disgrace.
On the airstrikes.... I tend to agree, kinda. Rock and a hard place. But this is what Hamas wanted....
What can I say? Religious folks are weird man. I’ve seen that menorah in person in Jerusalem. Folks were on their knees praying around it. They legit think that thing is going in the 3rd Temple and that it will bring about Christ’s Kingdom on Earth / the Messianic Age.@Carolina Red Not the thread for laughing, but that's some grotesque tourist attraction right thereThe arch of titus is showing it quite clearly.
I will probably offend you with this, but what I think you're reveiling is that apparently israeli soldiers go to great lenghts to justify to themselves the horrible things they do so that they can go to bed and actually be able to sleep.
Israeli troops has the mission of protecting israeli lives. We do our best to prevent innocent deaths on the otherside as well, but potential death of our people is something that we shouldnt tolerate. What country would?
That’s great...
But have you noticed that what I said was gonna happen in the thread, has already started happening?
edit: Also - pointing out that “Israel doesn’t use air strikes or artillery” in the Palestinian area with the massively lower population density compared to the other isn’t exactly gonna endear Israel’s efforts to many people either.

Fair enough if you don't want to answer.
The language of colonisers and imperialists. Some real shocking but unsurprising commentary on this page - legit the same as the US war machine and police state
Makes sense. You did work for the IDF after all.
We truly are the Florida of the galaxy...maybe even the universe.
You cant offend because none of your opinions are based on facts, they are based on stuff you read online written by other people who dont base their writings on facts.
I sleep perfectly well most night when there are no rocket sirens, and I know that I served in the most humane army on the planet that does whatever it can in order to prevent civilan deaths. I know that every misconduct in interogated and every soldier who made a wrong choice is punished. We live and die by the principles that are instilled within as from the day we are drafted until the day we get released, and "purity of weapon" is the first thing we are taught.
If I had any trouble sleeping, I would probably pay a shrink, not try to convince people online.
I didnt "work" for the IDF. Every 18 year old is drafted into mandatory service in the army.
I based my opinion on your posts. I truly believe you truly believe the things you are writing, and that is absolutely terrifying, because the result is israeli soldiers killing innocent people daily and somehow not even blinking to ask if they're actually doing the right thing. For real, your posts are scary.
I believe the things that I am writing because I have lived them. You didnt, so youre opinion is irrelevant. I know what I did to prevent the loss of innocent lives, I know what my friends did, I know what my commanders did.
I also know that the poor palestinians are being ruled by a terrorist organization that has no value of human lives and that is why they hide their rockets in schools, hospitals and populated areas.
Some of them believe they are below human beings so no wonder why it is going on. Killing a Hamas leader is something else. Killing women and children is another.
Well, we'll leave at you thinking my opinion is irrelevant and me thinking you've been brainwashed.
Seems as though the IDF isn’t the only institution killing children today...

Thats your decision mate.
And blowing those places up and killing someone’s child / brother / sister is how you end up radicalizing more terrorists. Israel is part of the equation just like Hamas is.
Again, the US has got some experience in that realm.
I guess it's safe to assume we can all agree that someone who kills a child is a pos.
Is there a country that doesn't? Every country in the world responds to 'terrorism' with overwhelming force and a laissez faire attitude to killing civilians/natives. It's not right, but it is what it is. The bully tactics of a nation with superior technology.
It always mobilises radicalisation too. They simply see it as worth the cost.
Agreed. And agree with the sentiment in the tweet.
I do not see anyone here defending Hamas but some are defending the Israeli Police and IDF.
Well, Costa Rica doesn’t have a military.
But anyway, my point is that Israel or folks in the IDF making the “our hands/conscience is clean” argument doesn’t match up with reality.
I'm going to be consistent and call them all cnuts.
I wonder if there was any German soldiers who were also perfectly content they were doing nothing wrong during the ethnic cleansing of the Jews in the 20th century.
Your propaganda is failing you!
Look on social media most people are seeing Israel for the racist apartheid state it is.
You attacked the worshipers praying in peace, you forced the families out of their homes, you killed 10 children with your ‘targeted missile strikes’
Hamas was created by YOUR government to quell the PLO.
IDF is just as complicit in war crimes as Hamas. Yet you want us to believe you are the most moral army in the world?
Most UN violations broken by Palestinians or Israeli?
Costa Rica doesn’t have a military?

They’ve got police, but the constitution of 1949 abolished a military.
Huh. Never knew that.
How about recognize Israel's right to exist for a start? How about stop shooting rockets targeting Israeli civilians? Israel did their part in 2005 when they removed all their settlements from the strip expecting to start peaceful negotiations, and what happened since? Hamas took control by force and kicked the more moderate Fatah out to the West Bank. Why should Israel have any dialog with a terror organization?
Carolina Red, you’ve just been elected Prime Minister of Israel, and you are guaranteed a minimum of 2 years in charge of the country...what is your plan for the present and future of Israel and the conflict? Go...
Well said!
You first, cool guy.
Those thriving communities just 'got up and left'? Those thriving communities were lynched, murdered, robbed and chased out of those countries after the Israelis declared independence and beat the aggressors in 1948.
I would do exactly as Benjamin Netanyahu. Now you, man
I’d request ending the illegal settlements, withdrawing military occupation, beginning negotiations for a recognized Palestinian State, returning land taken from the Palestinians through conquest, (edit) and ending the blockade of Gaza, including the limitation of fishing rights off the Gaza Coast.
Then I’d likely be assassinated.
