An Israeli sniper from the IDF’s Nahal Brigade detailed in comments to Haaretz the killing of unarmed Palestinians, including children, who were attempting to get aid in Gaza.
“It started about two months ago,” the soldier, who went by the pseudonym Benny, told the Israeli paper as part of a story focusing on the mental toll on IDF soldiers in Gaza. “Every day we have the same mission: to secure the humanitarian aid in the northern Gaza Strip.”
The report said that Benny and his fellow soldiers began their day at 3:30 am when they set up sniper positions near where aid trucks arrive to unload their contents. He said that Gaza residents try to move forward to get a good spot in line, but often cross an invisible line set by the IDF.
“A line that if they cross it, I can shoot them,” Benny said. “It’s like a game of cat and mouse. They try to come from a different direction every time, and I’m there with the sniper rifle, and the officers are yelling at me, ‘Take him down, take him down.’ I fire 50-60 bullets every day, I’ve stopped counting kills. I have no idea how many I’ve killed, a lot. Children.”
“The battalion commander would yell over the radio, ‘Why aren’t you taking them down. They are heading our way. This is dangerous,’” Benny said. “The sense is that we are being positioned in an impossible situation, and no one had prepared us for this. The officers do not care if children die, they also do not care what it does to my soul. To them, I am just another tool.”
“I saw the bodies of two children, maybe 8 or 10 years old, I have no idea. There was blood everywhere, lots of signs of gunfire, I knew it was all on me, that I did this. I wanted to throw up. After a few minutes, the company commander arrived and said coldly, as if he wasn’t a human being, ‘They entered an extermination zone, it is their fault, this is what war is like,’” he added.
A provision authorizing extrajudicial murder exists within Jewish law. Din rodef — “law of the pursuer,” permits the killing of those who are deemed a threat to individual Jews or the Jewish state, without the benefit of due process.
In the book Torat Hamelekh (The King’s Torah), Rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur explain that din rodef “applies even when the pursuer is not threatening to kill directly, but only indirectly… anyone who weakens our own state by word or similar action is considered a pursuer.”
Din rodef explains what has happened to so many strong men in the West — they have been covertly maimed, poisoned or killed while still boys or young men.
I see the opioid crisis, the fentanyl crisis and the covid vax in this light.
The covid plandemic was the same but used mind-control to bring about widespread death and disabling.
Covert warfare over several generations will destroy any society, and this is especially true if political and other leaders are bought off, paid to not notice. ABN
