JemmyA Palestinian was shot, beaten and tied to an Israeli army jeep. The army says he posed no threat

After a couple of hours, Israeli soldiers found him. He says they struck his head and face and in the areas where he had been shot. Then they dragged him by his legs, lifted him by his hands and feet and threw him onto the hood of the military jeep.
“I screamed because of the heat,” he said. “Then, one of the soldiers started cursing at me and told me to be quiet.”
The military said its forces had tied Abadi to the hood of the jeep to transport him to paramedics.
But Nebal Farsakh, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent rescue service, said the army had sealed off the area and prevented paramedics from tending to the wounded for at least an hour.
In dashboard camera footage obtained by the AP, the jeep to which Abadi was tied drove past at least two ambulances. Abadi said he was lashed to the jeep for about half an hour before soldiers untied him and released him to paramedics.

The Israeli military is throwing out a ton of excuses rather than even give someone a mild punishment. They claim it was his idea, that they were transporting him to a hospital and no room in the car, etc. The video shows this is a lie.
His face says it all. Arrest warrants need to be issued by the ICJ. This is a blatant human rights issue. Bro was a fucking hood ornament.
mozz*ICC
They are different; ICJ is practically a fact finding body. The ICC, on the other hand, can issue warrants which obligate any signatory to seize the person into custody if they ever travel to that country. They have enough teeth in practice that even geopolitically important people like Putin will curtail their travel to avoid signatory countries, which is humiliating for the jet setting war criminal who is trying to pretend they are above the law and anyway they didn’t even do anything in the first place.
Just because the phrase “human shields” came into it:
Somewhere there is a UN report where they looked in some detail into the theory that Hamas was rounding up random people and having them just stand around perfectly still right next to Hamas during fighting, so that the poor IDF would be tricked into shooting them which they hated doing but they had no choice. At least in the case they were looking into, they found that no, of course they are not doing anything like that, Israel is just telling outlandish lies about where all these dead civilians came from.
I won't say it never happens in any form. But to me it comes across like those comedy action movies where the bad guy grabs a hostage and the good guy grabs his own hostage from some random passerby. Like, ha ha! If you shoot at me, you'll also kill this random Palestinian! And we know that's like kryptonite to the IDF!
Would any reasonable human being not be radicalized by this?
Yes but,
We need to stop using the word radicalized in reference to people signing up to fight foreign soldiers. We'd all be signing up to militias to assist our national military in case of an invasion like this. This is no different. Using the word "radicalized" is technically correct here but shades this as a non state terrorism problem when Hamas was and is conducting itself as the government of this territory.
It was a CASEVAC though right?
Right?

Fucking hell.
Let’s make it super clear, this is what happens when you dehumanize people
Then, why?
Cruelty. That's the point

There are laws in war that the "most moral army in the world" is supposed to follow. This breaks them and they know it very well.
They don't care, they just want to be as cruel as possible. It's an ongoing genocide.
This guy just poked his head out to see what all the noise was and got shot twice. Israel seems to be shooting Palestinians indiscriminately.
He wasn't a combatant and he hadn't killed anyone. He was an innocent bystander and even the IDF admit it.
Not sure why you put so much energy into making up a fake scenario.
To be honest this scenario takes me less energy than the idea that one side is indiscriminately killing and torturing 100% innocent people purely based on their tribe. I still believe 95% of the stories are biased or missing important context but I can accept that there are going to be outliers that are plain evil even within context. For example the actions on oct 8 were plain evil even within context. If you can justify those actions as reasonable you can justify these actions as reasonable.
Looking at someone being tortured and your *first thought* is "must have done something to deserve this". That's fucked up.
And then you immediately tell everybody else this thought. "This guy probably deserved it!" You did not take a couple of seconds to check whether your theory is contradicted by the article. You victimized the guy again with your baseless accusation, but you did not think or care about that.
Your excuse for this? Can't accept the IDF soldiers being ontologically evil. Yeah me neither pal, it's a childish concept. There are actual material reasons for the cruelty. If you want to steal someone's land, you need to drive them out, and being cruel is a tried and true method to achieve this. No need to invoke good and evil, and no need to invent your own reality.
But *of course,* you do not afford the same to Hamas. No elaborate theory-crafting in this instance. There you have no problem declaring them just plain evil.
What flavor evil are you?

I can only find examples of Israeli atrocities in that article.
You need to change your mind. How many more? What if it’s happened to you?
Don't worry everybody. They said this isn't the norm.

Fuckers.
