Civilian Casualties and Military Justifications
The military narrative surrounding casualties in conflict zones often blurs the line between combatants and civilians, as illustrated by the accounts of IDF soldiers who stated that nearly all Palestinian casualties are labeled as terrorists, regardless of their actual involvement with Hamas. Reports indicate that only a small fraction of the deceased in the recent conflict were confirmed Hamas members, yet the military protocol in areas like the Net Surim corridor dictates that anyone crossing certain lines is subject to lethal force. This raises deep ethical concerns regarding the dehumanization of individuals, including minors, and the chilling classification of entire populations as enemies. The situation parallels historical conflicts, such as the Vietnam War, where the indiscriminate killing of civilians was rationalized as strategic military action.
