Israeli Defense Minister: "We have abolished all the rules of war. Our soldiers will not be held responsible for anything. There will be no military courts”
Israel's Minister of Defense Yaov Gallant, told troops massing for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip "We have abolished all the rules of war. Our soldiers will not be held responsible for anything. There will be no military courts.” | Even Adolph Hitler didn't go that far...Minister Gallant also told troops "I have released all the restraints, we have [regained] control of the area, and we are moving to a full offense. Hamas wanted a change in Gaza, it will change 180 degrees from what it thought. They will regret this moment, Gaza will never return to what it was." 💬 For anyone wondering whether or not Israel is planning an actual ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, Minister Gallant also answered that, telling Israeli troops "We started the offensive from the air. Later, we will also come from the ground." Confirming Gallant's point, Israel Minister of National Security says "Invasion of Gaza is now Imminent" He said Israel has now no other option rather then to start the Ground action. Social media postings show videos of the troops being briefed about the coming ground invasion. ● What is taking place in Israel is not happening in a vacuum; other countries and entities are seeing what is going on, and they are making their positions about it very clear. In next-door Lebanon, the group Hezbollah, with whom Israel went to war in 2005, has warned if Israel launches a ground invasion of Gaza, Hezbollah will enter the war to defend Palestinians.

David Livingstone | Israel Created Hamas to Avoid Peace | Israel does not want peace. Israel created Hamas as a pretext to wage war on the Palestinians. Israel does not want peace. They want all of Palestine, and their belligerent settlement practices confirm that. But the Israelis are posturing as being willing to talk "peace", only to actually stall that peace process, so as to advance the further colonization of Palestine. Hamas' rockets are mere peashooters compared to Israel's air force but they provide another excuse for ethnic cleansing. 💬 "The masses are naive and fail to suspect the Machiavellian extremes that certain leaders will resort to. This includes creating a false enemy, in this case, Hamas, whereby the right-wing leadership of the Israelis can point the finger at some "enemy" to blame for supposedly stalling the process."
