Ok at this point I feel like a significant chunk of these atrocities boil down to abject failure to instill discipline.
This isn’t how a well trained soldier behaves, this is how some yahoo who got handed a rifle in a catastrophic failure of vetting and pointed at a crowd and told someone bad is in there behaves.
And I know for a fact that Israel’s military has vetting standards even for conscripts, one of Netenyahu’s cabinet members is noteworthy specifically because he was turned away from military service for being a stark raving mad lunatic who shouldn’t be trusted with a loaded gun.
