An Israeli reserve soldier who took part in the genocide in Gaza committed suicide on Tuesday in his apartment in the central Israeli city of Rehovot, on the very day of his wedding, according to the Hebrew daily Maariv.
The paper reported that the 31-year-old soldier was scheduled to be married that evening but was found dead in his home after taking his own life. Ambulance crews arriving at the scene pronounced him dead, and police said circumstances remain under investigation.
The incident adds to what Israeli media have described as an alarming rise in suicides among army personnel, especially reservists, since October 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza.
“The gestapo are the best allies we have” are you stupid
I don’t think that is what this person is saying. The people within the organisation that actually have remorse and disagree could be allies. They are in a position to resist if they organise.
That is a form of liberal Zionism to say that anything settlers do is decisive to the struggle. Anti-imperialism has always been a struggle spearheaded by the oppressed themselves not their oppressors. Not to mention that these Israelis don’t actually feel remorse. They, much like other “anti-war” settlers eg USAmerican vets against the US invasion of Vietnam, are upset that imperialism has negative side effects for them. They do not care about the colonised.
It is actually what they are saying. A gestapo that feels bad is “the best ally”. Fuck off, the best ally isn’t a genocidal colonizer, it is the Palestinian resistance and those who stand with it every damn day.
That is exactly what they’re saying, and it’s horseshit. If they actually had regrets and wanted to make amends they’d take as many of their Nazi buddies with them as possible.
