I'll say what I say everytime instead IOF big sad stats. Israel should protect their soldiers mental health by having them never perform combat in foreign lands, or theirs.
Missing some zeroes there
This should be put into context.
Imagine having a genocidal campaign that is so evil, that the soldiers who lustily signed up for it are unable to tolerate the inhumanity.
This should be put into context.
Suicide rates are high in any military personnel.
Suicide rates are high in any military personnel.
But the rates are not identical across the different military organizations around the world.
Also, you can check the suicide rate among IDF personnel during any given year, and see that the suicide rate has spiked.
Whelp, that takes care of your minimization attempt.
Do you have data from a military whose purpose wasn't to enforce the exploitation others?

Am I supposed to feel sad?
We're watching tens of thousands of citizens in Gaza just get gunned in the street by the Israeli army. Civilians. Just executed in the streets. People are thrown out of their house and it's just taken.
And the news wants me to feel sad about two random soldiers, the ones who committed the war crimes, who off'd themselves?
Strong chance this is the most honorable thing they've done in their lives.
No, the most honorsble thing would be to chsnge their mind and start being anticolonization and genocide. This is the second best option
Responding to another comment in this thread that got removed:
Ah yes. Celebrating suicide, that's okay. Saying that the suicidee should instead target those responsible, now that's calling for violence.
Mods, either shutdown this whole post for celebrating murder or leave all the comments up. This half-assed shit is sending the wrong message.
Question for you. Is it OK to celebrate the deaths of Nazis directly responsible for the holocaust?
Just as okay as it is to celebrate Hitler's death. Like, dude, I'm saying "treat public figures and soldiers with the same rules". Mods are removing comments wishing for Bibi's death, but they leave those that are celebrating suicides. I'm arguing against the hypocrisy
Okay bibi
I'm saying that Bibi isn't special and celebrating his death should be treated the same as celebrating some nameless IDF soldier's deaths. Do you think that shouldn't be the case? Do you think he's deserving of special protection because of his status or class? Cause the mods seem to think so and I'm calling that behavior out.
I'm confused, this convo isn't about bibi, I'm saying you are bibi lol
... the fuck does that mean?
Imagine if the suicides fell for a change, that would be interesting
Hopefully they start fragging their coworkers on the way out
Thank you for your service
(and by service I mean the suicide part)
If this is just plain old trauma, then good fucking riddance. If they're growing a conscience instead, then that's sad.
If I was forced to make a choice between participating in genocide vs. suicide, I’d probably make the same decision. I feel for anyone who has been put in such a position.
Sure, you and all the other assholes in this thread. Yet history shows anyone aho dares to look that it's much easier to say than do. Armchair dilemma, how honourable of you to go down the noble path
During the Vietnam war, soldiers were also put into shit situations. They ended up fragging their commanders.
Death death to the idf
Perfectly logical, I hope I would rather commit suicide than participate in a Genocide when push came to shove.
Honestly sucks they did that rather than go through the process of self reform and radicalization so they could fight for Palestine.
It's very understandable.
