I think when you commit war crimes so extreme that they are technically genocide, it warps you.
I think the extreme hate needed to justify the Occupation of the Palestinian people mutates your soul.
I think the abuser damages themself as much as they damage the abused.
Inside Israel, the deformities of their rage and own history of persecution and genocide are colliding on all fronts from those who have served in the IDF and are so traumatised by the violence they meted out that the are now refusing more military service…

Crisis looms in Israel over ultra-Orthodox conscription bill
An impending crisis over conscripting ultra-Orthodox Jews into the Israeli army is threatening to undermine Israel’s government and split the country.
Public opinion on the issue has shifted dramatically in Israel after two years of war, and this is now perhaps the most explosive political risk facing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Lawmakers are currently considering a draft bill to end the exemption granted to ultra-Orthodox men enrolled in full-time religious study, established when the State of Israel was declared in 1948.
That exemption was ruled illegal by Israel’s High Court of Justice almost 20 years ago. Temporary arrangements to continue it were formally ended by the court last year, forcing the government to begin drafting the community.
Some 24,000 draft notices were issued last year, but only around 1,200 ultra-Orthodox – or Haredi – draftees reported for duty, according to military testimony given to lawmakers.
…hilariously the Orthodox Jew position is that they are helping with the war and occupation by praying which seems a stretch.
The hate generated by committing genocide is so extreme that almost 40% of Israelis want to annex Gaza while the Government attempt to annex the West Bank.
Israelis need to heal as badly as the Palestinians.
Without real meaningful peace for Palestinians, Israelis merely doom their children to the same old hates from today and project them into a never ending sorrow of tomorrow.
