Surrendering Palestinians Killed: IDF Investigates... Itself
The clip shows two men in the West Bank, hands up, shirts lifted to show they're unarmed. Ordered back inside, then shot. The Palestinian Authority calls it a "war crime"; the IDF shrugs, citing 'terror network affiliation' without proof. This isn’t a bug in the system; it’s a feature. Netanyahu has consistently dismissed Palestinian lives as 'terrorists' regardless of evidence, a playbook refined
over decades, from Gaza disengagement in 2005 to countless West Bank incursions. Every civilian death, every alleged surrender ignored, is filed under 'operational necessity' by a military shielded by billions in aid. We're told to wait for their 'investigation.' How many such investigations have absolved them, or quietly disappeared, while Congress continues to greenlight unconditional military
aid packages? Remember when Human Rights Watch documented 20 years of Israeli internal military investigations finding accountability in less than 5% of cases involving alleged offenses against Palestinians, often resulting in minor charges or dismissals? One might wonder, how many times must a force be 'caught on camera' committing international law violations before the funding tap tightens?
