"Major-General Avi Bluth stated that the Israeli army was killing like we haven't killed since 1967, indicating a significant escalation in military actions in the occupied West Bank."
"Bluth admitted to a two-tier firing policy, where the army avoids firing at Israeli settlers throwing stones while freely targeting Palestinians, whom he labeled as terrorists."
"The comments reflect a societal shift in Israel, where increasingly nationalistic sentiments are celebrated, even as they lead to severe human rights implications for Palestinians."
Major-General Avi Bluth's leaked comments reveal a two-tier firing policy by the Israeli army in the West Bank. He admitted to avoiding fire on Israeli settlers while actively targeting Palestinians, labeling their stone-throwing as terrorism. Bluth boasted about the military's lethal actions, claiming a significant increase in killings since 1967. His remarks reflect a growing acceptance of such policies within Israeli society, which is becoming increasingly nationalistic and right-leaning, despite the human cost involved in these actions.
