I refuse to acknowledge that IDF consists of humans. Fascists are not humans.
Considering some humans to be "not humans" is a primary tool of fascism.
Probably best to avoid de-humanizing anyone if you truly want to end fascism rather than re-create it under a different name.
Humans can do terrible, abhorrent things. It's good for us to remember that, as we are also human; And capable of the same atrocities if we aren't careful and vigilant.
they're human, but inhuman.
That's cool, but fascists are not humans because they consider others subhuman. Dehumanising the ones that dehumanise others is fair game, because we know for a fact that Israel recently officially called Palestinians "human animals" and have open goals to make Gaza look like Auschwitz. It becomes worse when Jews (Zionists) are the ones committing genocide.
