Out-of-Control Israeli Regime Killing Own People… Well, Why Not?
By Finian Cunningham
It’s really no surprise that Israel’s military is killing its own people after reports of three hostages shot dead by “friendly fire”.
The Israeli authorities said the three Israeli men were “mistakenly identified as threats” during close combat with Palestinian militants and were fired on by troops.
There are reports of the bodies of three other hostages having been recovered. However, the Israeli regime is not disclosing the circumstances of their deaths. Or rather they haven’t come up with a good cover story yet.
There are also reports that up to 20 per cent of the 117 Israeli soldiers killed so far in action in Gaza have been by “friendly fire”.
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, has stated that several Israeli hostages have been killed during eight weeks of Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the latest three hostage deaths as an “unbearable tragedy” and vowed that there would be a full investigation into the circumstances to avoid repeating the error.

There are believed to be around 130 Israeli hostages still remaining in Gaza after they were taken there by Hamas and other Palestinian militants during the daring attacks on Israel on October 7. More than 100 captives have already been released during an earlier prisoner exchange truce.
The latest deaths of hostages sparked public protests in Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu to end hostilities and bring all captives home. Israeli families and supporters have been furious at Netanyahu’s war cabinet for not prioritizing the release of all captives by calling a ceasefire.
Netanyahu and his ministers have rejected domestic and international calls for a ceasefire. Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said that Israel’s attacks on Gaza will continue “with or without international support”.
The U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in a visit to Israel on Friday consented to the continuation of military operations for months to come, although no doubt for public relations benefit the American envoy urged a “transition” to minimize civilian casualties.
The intransigent Israeli leaders have said the military operations in Gaza will continue for “several months”. That means the death toll of civilians and hostages will inevitably escalate beyond what is already an unprecedented aggression and litany of war crimes. Already there have been 20,000 Palestinian civilians killed during 70 days of bombing and ground invasion by Israeli troops in Gaza.
Nearly 30,000 bombs have been dropped on Gaza and half of them are “unguided” munitions or so-called “dumb bombs”. That’s over 50 tonnes in high explosive ordnance, or three times the lethal force that was dropped on Hiroshima by the Americans in 1945.
The wanton murder of women and children by the Israeli regime shows that it has no regard for international law nor the commission of crimes against humanity.
Given the barbarity of Israel’s onslaught, it is not surprising that its forces are killing its own people. This is not merely due to “error” or what is called “friendly fire”.
The Israeli military is bombing civilian targets with deliberate genocidal intent. Its snipers are shooting medics and patients through hospital windows.
There are reports of Israeli commandos raiding shelters and executing women and children at close range.
In this unbridled slaughter of innocents and orgy of mass murder it is to be expected that the Israeli forces are killing Israeli hostages because these forces are killing everyone. Anyone that appears in the gun sites of Israeli forces is to be obliterated.
And the Israeli regime and its American apologists have the gall to call the Israeli killers-in-uniform “the most moral army in history”.
During the Hamas attacks on Kibbutzim and other Israeli sites on October 7, it is now well-documented that many of the deaths that day out of the 1,200 victims were caused by Israeli military violence. Israeli witnesses have testified that troops opened fired with tanks and heavy machine guns on houses where Palestinian fighters were holding residents.
Israeli soldiers have also expressed dismay and disbelief that their forces used such indiscriminate firepower in situations where Israeli citizens would be knowingly killed.
The destruction of houses and well as numerous cars at the open air dance festival where several Israeli partygoers were killed could not have been carried out by lightly armed Palestinian fighters. The latter claimed to have killed nearly 400 Israeli soldiers on October 7. Hamas say their primary targets were military. No doubt the militants killed civilians too. However, the emerging evidence indicates that most of the deaths of Israeli civilians were by their own security forces.
This would account for images that purport to show that Hamas fighters incinerated and mutilated victims. Such images have been cited by Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden as evidence of Palestinian “terrorism” and justification for the Israeli offensive on Gaza.
But the deliberate killing of Israelis by their military in situations of close combat as a means to destroy the enemy is known as the Hannibal Doctrine. It is Israeli state policy, albeit not openly acknowledged.
The latest Israel plan reported this week to flood underground tunnels in Gaza with seawater is also risking the drowning of Israeli hostages. Just like the carpet bombing of Gaza, the lives of the hostages are of little value to Netanyahu and the psychopaths in his cabinet.
If it weren’t for the genocidal offensive on Gaza, Netanyahu would be in court facing prosecution for long-time charges of personal corruption. He wants this murderous war to continue for as long as possible to keep himself out of jail. His cabinet of Zionist fascists also want to wipe Palestinians off the map in a Final Solution of ethnic cleansing.
For the fascist Israeli regime who have gotten away with mass murder and theft for so long with absolutely no compunction, well… why not kill a few of their own for good measure?
Their perennial cover story of the Nazi Holocaust against Jews is just an added sickening depravity. The Neo-Nazis are in Tel Aviv, sponsored and weaponised by Washington

Those hateful sub human isn’treal populace only value their own murdering scum.
The Israeli regime can indeed claim to have “the most moral army in history”. Zionists take their morality from what Christians call the Old Testament: Mr God gave them the land of Israel, together with orders to take it and keep it by any means necessary. According to these Holy Scriptures, His chosen people were told to kill every man, woman and child of various enemy tribes; it’s entirely consistent with that morality that “Zionist fascists also want to wipe Palestinians off the map in a Final Solution of ethnic cleansing.”
We need to outlaw laws which protect one group before all others.
Antisemitism must be legalized, just like in any democratic country, it is legal to slender or oppose any other cult or religion, the supremacist one of the so called chosen people, must be declared extremist, separatist, and inciting hate, social injustice, and violence, its teachings deemed unfit for a democratic and equal rights based world and straight outlawed.
Organizations like adl and aipac must be criminalized as the terrorist and subversive entities which they are and sanctioned, it’s operatives tried for terrorism and crimes against humanity.
Freedom of speech is at the base of the constitution and anyone who tries to prevent us from exercising our legal and moral rights, is a traitor to the country and to the all of humanity.
Stop brainwash our children with stories of supposed chosen people, and Orwellian bull shit.
The unfolding Genocide committed by war criminals and their criminal lobby must be brought to an end and those responsible investigated for their crimes against the nation and humanity.
Jews in Europe and America have been at the forefront of many recent protests against the actions of the Israeli state. Antisemitic speech, casting all Jews as evil, subhuman or whatever, hardly seems helpful, and antisemitic practices even less so. On the contrary, surely their opposition to Zionism should be welcomed as proof that opposing Israeli state and settler aggression is not antisemitic.
The fact that some Jews criticize the despicable actions of Israeli Jews doesn’t get the Tribe off the hook. The Tribe is still the source of all this atrocity, going back a hundred years or so. We are correct to describe the perpetrators as Jews. Just as correct as condemning other whole groups of people, such as Republicans, Americans, Russians, Germans, Chinese, etc. As in Jews are murdering Palestinians without accountability, thanks to the US Jewish Lobby.
Republicans choose to be Republicans. Jews, Russians, Chinese and so on are what they are by accident of birth. Russians can support or oppose the actions of the Russian state, just as Jews can – and in many cases do – oppose the Israeli state.
The term “anti-semitic” was invented by the Zionist/ Jews to protect themselves from truth. They’ve turned the term anti-semitic into something evil, when in fact Semitic people inclusive of Semitic Jews have been living in peace in the Middle East for hundreds of years. Not until the white supremacist type Jews from Russia, Europe, and United States begin to show up were there any major problems in the Middle East. The term anti-semitic was coined to protect these white supremacists from guilt, prosecution, and international law. The white supremacist Jews of Palestine have murdered, tortured, stolen land, and lied about it for over 70 years. Years. They use every means possible to protect themselves from being prosecuted. The truth is every one of The white Jews from outside Palestine that have traveled there to kill Palestinians should be prosecuted. Not only should they be prosecuted, they should be removed from Palestine and stuck in a giant prison somewhere away from humanity.
The German proto-Nazi Wilhelm Marr popularised the German equivalents of antisemitic/ism/ite, and he was clearly against Jews, and Jews specifically. The English words have always meant hostile/hostility toward Jews.
The Zio supremacists can get away with anything short of dropping a nuclear bomb. And even then you’d have Dersh, Little Benny Shapiro and Bill Kristol justifying it.
I think they can get away with being the next country to use nuclear weapons in war, though they’d probably lose even more international support than they already have if they did.
