If I'm not mistaken, military service is mandatory in Israel. If these 49 are still Israeli citizens, then they have a choice to:

  • Renounce their Israeli citizenship
  • Serve in the military
  • Go to jail

Not defending them, just adding context.

Nuremberg Principles apply to Israelis too.

Wow, commit war crimes or renounce citizenship? Such a hard choice!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

So in other words, you renounce your citizenship.

If you didn't

If you joined the IDF

If you committed war crimes

Its all on you and you deserve to rot in prison for the rest of your life, don't care about the "but my orders!!"
