This is their standard SOP, I suppose. There had been another incidence recently where an unarmed Israeli man who had just killed 2 Palestinian attackers at Jerusalem. The man kneeled on the ground, raising his hand, and opened his shirt to signal that he wasn’t a threat. But this IDF soldier rewarded the supposedly Israeli hero by killing him cold-blooded. Not sure if there any video of this on news channels but the clips of this incidence has been circulating around in Telegram about 2 weeks ago, I think.
Weeeeeeeeeeeak argument right there. “It’s still illegal ferederally” while pointing to a law that is only just barely limping on with its federal justification.
I get that the distinction is legally valid, and that you’re highlighting the slowness of Federal law, but you’re not really contributing significantly to the conversation here.
Particularly given that the topic of this thread is war, not recreational drug usage.
Are you in any way saying that their official “policy” is something they’re going to enforce? Because that’s a big swing from where you started this branch.
I think you need to pick a side and stay there. I’m not saying this from a combative standpoint. I just want you to pick.
Otherwise this looks like just scoring points and not a conversation.
Do you believe the IDF will enforce their engagement policy?
As if they haven’t been encouraging this as normal practice.
Here is an interview with a former IDF soldier who states that it was policy that everything inside gaza is a enemy target. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0KKHIS9D7I
It has been policy for decades at least.
The only rule is “Don’t get caught committing war crimes”
Kind of explains all the dead journalists.

Marijuana use in the US isn’t just against policy, it’s against the law. But without enforcement, does a policy or law mean anything?
I’m not anti-marijuana, I’m saying enforcement is what determines a law or policy’s effectiveness.

My point was simple: a law or policy, unenforced, is neither law nor policy.
We all know it to be true but then some pause and give a pass to platitude of “against policy.” Same applies to US police.
I’m not changing the topic. I’m saying people need to challenge these statements more vocally.
Edit to add: You’re saying I said things I didn’t, missing the point, and have derailed an important point of agreement.
That’s true, but policy or law, even when unenforced, still leaves absolute scope for those rules to be clamped down on.
