A growing number of Israeli soldiers are reportedly refusing to continue serving in the Occupation of the Gaza Strip, admitting they took part in war crimes and atrocities.

According to the Associated Press (AP) news agency, seven Israeli soldiers who have refused to continue fighting in Gaza spoke of how Occupation forces indiscriminately killed Palestinians, looted houses and destroyed or burned them, despite having posed no threat.

One unnamed former infantry soldier said that during his two-week deployment in late 2023, he witnessed Israeli forces burn down around 15 buildings without reason.

“I didn’t light the match, but I stood guard outside the house. I participated in war crimes”, the soldier acknowledged. “I’m so sorry for what we’ve done.”

Trump did promise a Palestinian state. And he does take outrageous stands in order to make a deal. Greenland is the latest example.

make a deal. Greenland

Alaska was Seward's folly.

But Trump is interested in Greenland because of the strategic minerals it holds which are tightly controlled by China. ;)

Trump did promise a Palestinian state.

How can that happen when there are TWO separate systems of justice in Israel? ;)
