Zionist Israel appears to combine doing evil with incompetence so abysmal — that it recklessly slaughters its own people

Zionism gone insane?

 

Consider the following appalling outcome.

 

Something that would make US special operations troops, as well as American police SWAT teams, cringe:

 

 

Israel’s military says it has discovered distress signals in a Gaza building where three Israeli captives were sheltering before they were mistakenly shot dead by Israeli troops.

 

The signs, which read “SOS” and “Help, three hostages” in Hebrew, were found in a building in the Shujayea suburb of Gaza City, military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said on Sunday.

 

The killing of the captives, who, Israel’s military said, were fired at despite waving a white flag, has sparked an outcry in Israel and amplified concerns about their military’s wartime conduct.

 

Ido Shamriz, brother of slain captive Alon Shamriz, accused the Israeli army of “abandoning” and then “murdering” him.

 

The captives’ deaths also added to Israeli concerns that their government and military are more focused on eliminating Hamas than rescuing at least 100 captives believed still to be in captivity in Gaza.

Israel's flooding of Hamas tunnels with salt water lends arguable credence to that last paragraph's concern.

 

 

And naturally

 

If Hebrew-speaking Israelis cannot count on humane treatment from their own military, why should Gaza's non-involved Christians?

 

 

An Israeli military sniper shot and killed two women inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza on Saturday, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

 

The mother and daughter were walking to the Sister’s Convent, the patriarchate said, when gunfire erupted. “One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety,” it added.

 

Seven others were also shot and wounded in the attack at the complex, where most Gaza’s Christian families have taken refuge since the start of the war, according to the patriarchate, which oversees Catholic Churches across Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.

 

“No warning was given, no notification was provided,” the statement continued. “They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents.”

These reports come atop (evidently legitimate) claims that . . .

 

. . . the Israeli military killed hundreds of their fellow Israelis, while recklessly responding to Hamas' 07 October attack.

 

See, for instance:

What is Israel doing to itself?

 

Is this the lesson that the Holocaust would teach us?

 

That the Holocaust's victims should perpetrate more of the same?

 

And even more appallingly, without any regard for their own people?

 

 

The moral? — An incompetent . . .

 

. . . and arguably cowardly Israeli military enthusiastically serves quasi-genocide. And in that process, shockingly displays no evident concern for saving Israel's own people.

 

Zionism has become a rabidly nihilistic psychosis.
