    So their narrative of choice is that they killed a surrendering enemy?

    The most moral military in the world can’t stop accidentally admitting to war crimes

    The SS could have blown his wife and family apart but didn’t want to if they could avoid it.

    They literally called him. Who does that? Only one of the most moral militaries in history.

    morality is when you murder innocents and the more innocents you murder, the more moral you are. If you disagree you are a terrorist who hates western civilization and should probably also be murdered.

    It doesn’t even say if they held up their end of the deal. I tried to archive the article, but seems they are able to maintain the rest of the article hidden.

    Anyway, not going to think that a publication that states its “Defending and Advancing Western Civilization” or starts their article on the “most moral” army with a William Buckley quote is going to actually follow up on that anyway.

    So they busted two hasbara myths in one go - that kHaMAs use their families as human shields, and that the IDF can’t avoid civilian casualties…

    Zionists will literally take their brutal crimes and say, “look how cool and good we are” to a horrified audience. They forget the difference between themselves and others.

    Literally one of the few people offered such a deal; they usually kill entire families even when none of them are kHaMaS

    EDIT: Actually for that point, there was a reporter who actually mentioned he’d been given the same offer; this person could have similarly been a reporter or medic who’d been given this offer; even though it isn’t our intent, we’re still giving Israel the benefit of the doubt and assuming they actually mean a member of Hamas.

    With the right framing, even cartoonishly evil movie villain shit can be described by these people as “moral”

    I’d say the moral one here is the “terrorist” who chose to sacrifice his own life to protect others, not the people threatening his family, but I’m probably a horrible awful evil antisemite for even thinking that.

    If you want to read the “ethical framework” of western fascism.

    spoiler

    William F. Buckley said in 1988: “What evidence have we to say that the Soviet Union has, in fact, its intentions to rule the world? We are trapped by the notion that we are both superpowers — ‘Why don’t we do this when they do that?’ But they have been the aggressors. It is written into their charter that they are the aggressors. To say that we and the Soviet Union are to be compared is the equivalent of saying that the man who pushes the old lady into the way of an oncoming bus, and the man who pushes the old lady out of the way of an oncoming bus, are both people who push old ladies around.”

    It has always been fashionable in the post-World War II world, even in the death throes of the USSR, to believe that there is always an equivalency between rivals, because there is merely power.

    Power cannot be good, power cannot be bad. It simply is. And to the extent that one side can be called evil in any power struggle, you’re usually bad if you’re on the side that manages to impose that power on your enemy.

      Self-proclaimed cynic takes the “world’s most moral army” at their word. Absolutely no chance they would want “positive” PR on their operational practices as the list of their war crimes grows.
