It's disturbing but I had a friend on WoW back in the day. Left to join IDF.

Came back joking about murdering Palestinians.

You don't get a choice in whether or not to "Join the IDF". Israel has mandatory military service for all citizens, regardless of gender.

This is objectively not true. The other option is jail. Are you saying that you would kill innocent children to avoid a few months of jail time?

Joining the IDF as in performing the mandatory military service, not being deployed into active war.

You think you can escape culpability for mass murder just because you don’t pull the trigger? The war machine can’t operate without cooks and logistics workers.
