  3. Israeli forces break their own rules and everyone still makes excuses for them lmao

    This has nothing to do with the bigger picture of the war. Soldiers not following SOP and needlessly endangering prisoners is not acceptable for any military. If anything, this is proof that their internal affairs is being more vigilant, which is good for everybody

  4. While there are differences between recognized national militaries and irregular combatants, there’s no difference in the obligation to protect captured persons. Prisoners are powerless to protect themselves and under international law, the captor is legally responsible for their prisoner’s safety. As soon as the prisoner was captured the captors have assumed the responsibility for their prisoner’s safety. The soldiers in this case are not fulfilling their responsibilities to protect the prisoner they knew they had. Regardless of what morally despicable actions the prisoner may or may not have committed, the soldiers are in the wrong here, morally and legally.

  6. Everyone keeps talking about how this war radicalizes Palestinians, but I’m yet to hear anyone talking about how 7th of October radicalized Israelis…

  7. Looks like a standard medevac with no room left in the vehicle

  9. Yeah, I don’t know about this.

    The US military has, earlier and now, put wounded men wherever they will fit in a vehicle, including the hood. Ideally, every wounded person would be on a litter, and inside the vehicle, but that’s not always possible. The guy in the photo doesn’t seem secure at all, but we don’t see the speed. And the tied arm, well, that may be for security in lieu of handcuffs.

    On the whole, I’d say, as long as he arrived at some place qualified to offer medical treatment, without sustaining addition and unnecessary wounds in the process, that this qualifies as good care. Providing MEDEVAC assets to a wounded enemy is always a good thing. I won’t knock the method, unless it’s another video of Russians using a sledge to murder a Ukrainian. That’s malpractice and a warcrime.

  11. “we have investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong and can never do anything wrong. also we are the best and most handsome military in the world.”

  13. I came here expecting some people to defend this, but it’s troubling to see some overlook the gravity of this act. Strapping an injured Palestinian to a vehicle, even if perceived as an enemy fighter, raises serious concerns under international humanitarian law. The Geneva Conventions still prohibit the use of individuals in this manner, emphasizing the importance of upholding standards that safeguard human dignity and prevent the erosion of ethical conduct in conflict situations. This incident is not isolated; Israel and the IDF have a documented history of violating international law throughout the conflict, which undermines efforts for peace and justice in the region.

  14. Sure a lot is going to come out of that investigation.

  15. This is going to be investigated heavily. Israelis under a microscope as is so this just adds to it.

    The good news is it is being looked into. The bad? It happened at all

  17. yikes. Incredibly fucked up. Those soldiers need to be court martialed and discharged immediately. Every modern, conscientious state has a moral obligation to treat prisoners of war justly and humanely.
