So then you disagree with the original statement of the post that all idf soldiers are guilty?
Are you aware of human history? if you can't lose your humanity what happened to the nazis that were lining people like me and the people I care about up at the edge of a mass grave.
How about the people on the edge of the mass grave? What happened to their humanity when they were shot in the back of the fucking head for opposing fascism.
This "all people are deserving of redemption" is sure rubbing right up against the tolerance paradox.
They get a chance, outside of their fascist society, what they do with it is their business. It's not guaranteed, it requires the work from them. But they are still fundamentally human, denying others humanity is never right. You can possibly be unworthy, but you can't stop being human. We are all people, from the day we are born, to the day that we die. Saying that others can be inherently lesser than me is something I refuse to do.
Every human live lost to hate is an unimaginable waste, each of these warcriminals could have been a good person,they aren't, of course. But in a better world, they could have been.
It is not, and never was, about tolerating their actions and believes, be more careful when reading before becoming needlesly aggressive, please.
