'The most moral army of the world'
Last week, after collecting evidence, Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem reported about two murders of unarmed Palestinian civilians on the Westbank by the IDF earlier this year.
From btselem.org/firearms, regarding the Open-Fire policy (see also the first screenshot):
❝
Open-Fire Policy - 11 November 2017
Over the years, Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories.
[...]
According to the open-fire regulations, live ammunition may be fired in two situations only. First, shooting to kill is permitted when members of the security forces or other individuals are in life-threatening danger. Even then, the use of firearms is permitted only if there is no other way to avert the danger and only against the assailants themselves. Second, members of the security forces may only shoot at a person’s legs, as the last phase in an attempt to arrest the person in question, only after they have given warning and fired in the air, and only when no one else is in danger of getting hurt.
[...]
Sometimes the regulations are interpreted broadly, such as the artificial expansion of the term “life-threatening” to include circumstances in which soldiers’ lives are not actually in danger, such as stone-throwing or tire-burning during protests, or fear of damage to the Separation Barrier. Another broad interpretation is permission to fire at the upper body instead of the legs during suspect apprehension, along with expanding the understanding of a person suspected of a serious offense to include virtually any Palestinian. Another violation is the use of lethal measures when less injurious ones could diffuse the threat, and illegal use of allegedly “non-lethal” measures such as rubber-coated metal bullets, sponge rounds and tear gas in a way that renders them lethal.
In using firearms in the Occupied Territories, Israel’s actions are also subject to the provisions of international humanitarian law (IHL).
[...]
The principle of distinction requires the parties to the conflict to direct their attacks only against persons taking part in the hostilities and against objects that are used for military purposes. To ensure that this distinction is respected, it is forbidden to mount an attack against an object that is not a specific military target, and to use weapons that do not allow sufficiently precise distinction between military and civilian objects. The principle of proportionality prohibits an attack even where the intended target is a legitimate object of attack, if the damage to the civilian population will be greater than the military advantage anticipated from the attack.
Israel claims to follow these rules. However, its open-fire policy during fighting, and particularly in massive incursions into Palestinian cities and rounds of fighting in the Gaza Strip, ignores these rules almost entirely.
[...]
For years, B'Tselem regularly wrote to the military law enforcement system in order to promote accountability for cases in which security forces harmed Palestinians. But, given the reality described here, in May 2016, we decided to stop contacting the MAG Corps to demand investigations.
[...]
This policy conveys Israel’s deep disregard for the lives of Palestinians and their property, and facilitates continued use of lethal force – a crucial element in Israel’s ability to maintain violent control over millions of Palestinians.

I guess this is what happens when you accidentally take a nap in the afternoon and as a result are still awake at 1am. You think of your college poetry writing class and are inspired to write a sonnet
A SONNET FOR THE MOON 🌒
I saw the moon tonight.
God, she took my breath away.
A partial view but of that despite
so beautiful as clouds across her swayed.
She sat low on the horizon
not oft seen as if relaxed and happy
A soft smile illuminated and brightened
the darkened night effortlessly.
A breeze brushed my barely clothed skin.
But I could feel a comforting warmth.
It is her tidal pull in my veins again.
Big against the sky I was drawn forth
I haven't seen her that way in years.
I saw the moon tonight and she brought me to tears.
