Is the Israeli military a paragon of morality and wartime ethics? Or is it an oppressive force that targets innocent Palestinian civilians and commits war crimes as a matter of policy? Colonel Richard Kemp, who was the commander of British Forces in Afghanistan, was in Israel during its war against Hamas in 2014, and analyzes whether Israel’s military is ethical, evil, or somewhere in between.

Script:

There are two views of the Israeli Military — what you hear in most of the media, and the truth. I’m going to tell you the truth.

I was the Commander of British Forces in Afghanistan. I have fought in combat zones around the world including Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Macedonia and Iraq.I was also present throughout the conflict in Gaza in 2014.

Based on my experience and on my observations: the Israel Defense Force, the IDF, does more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.

Why is this so?

Firstly, Israel is a decent country with Western values, run on democratic principles. Israel has no more interest in war than Belgium does. In fact, Israel has never started a war. The only reason it ever goes to war is to defend itself. And it has to defend itself because, unlike Belgium, it is surrounded by countries and armed groups that want to destroy it.

Secondly, Judaism, with its unsurpassed moral standards, remains a major influence on the citizens of Israel. I say this as a non-Jew.

Thirdly, the army is composed overwhelmingly of citizen soldiers.

Israel is a small country with a small professional army. To fight a war it depends on its conscripts and its reservists. These are ordinary citizens, from professors to plumbers, called upon to defend their homes. They don’t want to be fighting and they don’t want to harm others.

Nowhere was the essential morality and decency of the IDF more evident than in the Gaza War of 2014. If ever there was a purely defensive war, this was it.

The war was started by Hamas, the terror organization, designated as such by the US State Department, that runs the Gaza strip. In the first six months of 2014, Hamas launched hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilians.

After repeated warnings from Israel to stop, the Israeli Air Force finally conducted precision strikes to halt the rocket-fire. And the IDF advanced into Gaza to destroy a network of terror tunnels that Hamas had constructed to attack Israeli communities near the Gaza border.

The IDF took extraordinary measures to give Gaza civilians notice of targeted areas, dropping millions of leaflets, broadcasting radio messages, sending texts and making tens of thousands of phone calls. Let me repeat that. The Israelis called Gazans on their cell phones and told them to leave their residences and move to safety. Never in the history of warfare has an army phoned its enemy and told them where they are going to drop their bombs.

Many IDF missions that could have taken out Hamas military capabilities were aborted to prevent civilian casualties, increasing the risk to Israeli citizens and soldiers.

Despite all of this, of course innocent civilians were killed. Every war is chaotic and confusing, and mistakes are frequent. But mistakes are not war crimes.

Hamas, on the other hand, committed war crimes as official government policy.

Hamas deliberately positioned its military assets among the civilian population, hiding weapons in schools and hospitals, and placing rocket launchers alongside apartment buildings, then forced those civilians to stay in areas they knew would be attacked. They also instructed their people to report the lie that every Gazan killed was a civilian, even if they were actually fighters.

  5. How many lies have been told in this video, now the whole world has come to know what Israel is doing with the Palestinians. If someone still believes in this lie, then his intellect can only be lamented.

  10. The loyalty and allegiance of all Hebrews is to Pissrael and their fellow Hebrews first and foremost; the country where they were born comes third at best. So I'm not surprised that Hebrew supremacist Benocide Shapiro (spokesman for the IDF or Pissrael Diaper Forces) is so much more concerned with the welfare of Pissrael than his own country, even willing to betray to all of his "principles".

    And here are other often-overlooked proven facts about Hebrews:

    -The most prolific serial rapists have been Hebrew (and the vast majority worked in Hollyweird), including: Louis B. Mayer, Harry Cohn, Bryan Singer, Leon, Wieseltier, Harvey Weinstein, Dan Schneider, Woody Allen, Bob Weinstein, Ezra Miller, Jared Fogle, Matt Lauer, Paul "Pee-wee Herman" Rubens, Les Moonves, Al Franken, Jeffrey Toobin, Jeffrey Epstein (the most prolific pedophile in human history), Lord Janner (pedophile), Ghislaine Maxwell (Epstein's accomplice) and Roman Polanski (who, after drugging and raping a 12 years old girl was mysteriously tipped off by law enforcement of his impending arrest and was able to flee the country despite having an arrest warrant on him and after that sought refuge in Europe which refused to extradite him despite having extradition treaties with the United States; after all of this Hollywood not only said nothing but actually rewarded him with an Oscar for his holocaust propaganda movie The Pianist, for which they had to mail him his award).

    -98% of all atomic spies who passed details of the American nuclear program on to the Soviet Union (a country that hated Hebrews) were Hebrew such as Israel Beer, Klaus Fuchs, Theodore Hall, David Greenglass, Lona Cohen, Ethel Rosenberg, Julius Rosenberg, Harry Gold, Morris Cohen, Irving Lerner, Morton Sobell, Oscar Seborer, Saville Sax and George Koval.

    -Pissrael has been caught several times spying on the United States, its "greatest ally", such as in the cases of Lawrence Franklin, Jonathan Pollard (a Hebrew supremacist) or Ben-Ami Kadish. In fact, American embassies have banned the entrance or any israelíes (even public officials) and have prohibited all their personnel from accepting any gifts from Pissraelies. Pissrael is the only country with such prohibitions: Pissrael is an authoritarian apartheid ethno state where marriages between Hebrews and non-Hebrews are strictly forbidden by law; furthermore, any +Hebrew who enters the country can automatically claim citizenship but not Arabs even if they used to live there; and the first thing the constitution says is that Pissrael is meant for Hebrews ONLY.

    -During the Pissrael war of independence, Pissraelie fighters were known for being the ones who committing the first acts of terrorism in history (YES, HEBREWS INVENTED TERRORISM) and having committed many massacres on unarmed civilians, including women and children (Hebrews are a bunch of cowards who can only fight unarmed civilians); here's a small selection of Pissraelie acts of terror: King David Hotel bombing, Semiramis Hotel bombing, Deir Yassin massacre (after which they burned all corpses to hide their crime), Sa'sa massacre (attacked at night, killing dozens of unarmed civilians and destroying 16 houses leaving many families destitute and homeless), Saqiya massacre (most villagers fled but two sick women who couldn't walk were captured and executed), Tantura massacre (a massacre of unarmed civilians and Palestinian fighters who had surrendered after Hebrew forces promised them their lives and dignity would be respected only to massacre them when they surrender after which they buried all of their victims in a mass grave and the Pissraeli government has paved over the grave putting a parking lot on top of it while they never even attempted to move the corpses), the attack and killing of Folke Bernadotte (sent by UN to act as a mediator and to find a peaceful solution to the conflict after which the shooters were imprisoned but after Pissraeli independence they were pardoned, released and are considered heroes), the assassination of Lord Moyne, the kidnapping of two British sergeants picked at random while threatening to execute them if the British didn't meet their demands (the sergeants were indeed hanged while their corpses were left hanging in a public area and the corpses were even rigged with explosives so they blew up when British soldiers tried to pull them down killing more people and blowing the corpses into many pieces scattered around the area), the bombing of the British embassy of Italy, the bombing of the Haifa British police station (the first truck bombing which was invented by Hebrews) and the bombing of the British colonial club in London.

    And let's remember that Pissraelies even elected the top terrorist Menachem Begin as prime minister and is now considered a national hero

    While the Pissraeli founding father Ben Gurion stated once that Pissrael should even conquer modern day Jordan and kill or expel all of the inhabitants: "We must expel the Arabs and take their places… And, if we have to use force… Then we have force".

  25. Most "moral" military indeed. Thousands of innocent Palestinians (men, women, children, old, young, babies) beg to differ. But I guess they don't matter as they're viewed as less-than-human….right? Most "moral" indeed…

  27. 🇵🇰💕🇰🇼🇮🇷🇹🇷🇷🇺🇸🇦🇧🇩🇨🇳🇱🇰🤜🤜🇮🇱💩🇺🇲Israel killed many Palestinian peoples and babies, so don't call morals, called Israel is make a fun of all the holy books All the holy lands and all the prophets
