    The IDF will never be held responsible for their actions the Israeli government that ordered them should be

    You see zero irony and n that comment?

    Like, Israel spent decades going after anyone tangentially connected to the Holocaust…

    It was just a couple years ago they prosecuted someone in their 90s who was forced to be a teenage secretary for a nazi.

    And you’re legitimately implying:

    The soldiers committing genocide were just following orders. We can’t judge them for what they’re actively doing , which is committing a genocide

    Individuals who commit war crimes can and should be held responsible for their actions. “Just following orders” wasn’t a valid excuse for the Nazis, and it shouldn’t be one for the IDF.

    Have you heard of the Nuremberg trials?

    There is a very strong set precedent that “I was just following orders” does not come close to cutting it.
