The letter posted on Israeli journalist Amit Segal channel to 184,000 followers says that “the nation of Israel will stand up bravery to strike at its enemies,” according to a translation of the Hebrew. It goes on to justify targeting sites even “when the enemy hides behind a human shield.”
That’s not very pious of them.
Sometimes a pat on the back from god is all you need to keep committing war crimes. Chosen people choosing people.
Half of the Old Testament is just the ancient Israelites going around and committing war crimes. Numbers and Joshua are particularly bad. Like the battle of Jericho, where they killed every human, ox, sheep, and donkey in the city and then wrote a kid’s song about it
Actually, it’s probably quite pious of them. Old Testament God was not really one for mercy and was pretty big on obliterating your foes.
Does god create multiple religion to look at us fight?
