Anti Semitism is rife within the ranks of the Israeli Army, it seems...

Breaking the Silence, a veterans’ organisation monitoring Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory, said the current death toll of 45,000 people killed in Gaza means that 15,000 more people have been killed than the Israeli army’s estimate for Hamas’s entire membership.

While the “rate of death” in Gaza outpaces wars in Myanmar, Ukraine and Iraq, Hamas has still not been defeated, Breaking the Silence said in a series of posts on social media. “For more than a year since October 7th, 2023, we’ve seen the [Israeli military] make more and more criminally immoral trade-offs,” the group said. "Deprioritising accuracy in favour of pace, careful planning in favour of brute force, humanity in favour of technology. All it got us in return was more death and ruin,” it said.
 
CNN was connected with the soldier by Breaking the Silence, an organization that provides a forum for Israeli soldiers to speak out and verifies their testimony.

The soldier said that he and his comrades refused to carry on with the practice after two days and confronted their senior commander about it. Their commander, who first told them not to “think about international law,” saying that their own lives were “more important,” ultimately relented, releasing the two Palestinians, the soldier said. The fact that they were released, he said, made it clear to him that they had no affiliation with Hamas, “that they are not terrorists.”
 
The New York Times reports how Israel's army uses palestinians as human shields.

The soldiers who spoke to The Times said they began using the practice during the current war because of a desire to limit the risks to infantry. Some of the soldiers who saw or participated in the practice found it deeply troubling, prompting them to take the risk of discussing a military secret with a journalist. Two were connected to The Times by Breaking the Silence, an independent watchdog that gathers testimony from Israeli soldiers.

Breaking the Silence says its research shows the use of human shields is not limited to a few isolated incidents or a commander acting on a whim. “The testimonies make it clear that it’s both systemic and systematic to how the IDF is fighting in Gaza,” a recent statement said.
