• CNN published a sympathy piece highlighting the trauma of IDF soldiers returning from Gaza.
• However, within the article, an Israeli soldier chillingly admitted to driving a bulldozer over hundreds of Palestinians.
CNN attempted to present a sympathy article focusing on the trauma of IDF soldiers returning from Gaza.
However, buried within the article is a chilling admission from one Israeli soldier, who confessed to driving a bulldozer over hundreds of Palestinians, both deceased and alive. He lamented that he can no longer consume meat.
Remarkably, CNN allows this soldier to refer to the act of running over and crushing civilians as a necessity
Excerpt taken from CNN article:
‘The former soldier has spoken publicly about the psychological trauma endured by Israeli troops in Gaza. In a testimony to the Knesset, Israel's parliament, in June, Zaken said that on many occasions, soldiers had to "run over terrorists, dead and alive, in the hundreds." "Everything squirts out," he added.’
He killed “hundreds,” the soldier says. CNN does not raise any objections regarding these indiscriminate killings. There is no call for justice; instead, the narrative centres on the mental health struggles of the evil and criminal perpetrators.
"When you see a lot of meat outside, and blood... both ours and theirs, then it really affects you when you eat."
Zaken says he can no longer eat meat, as it reminds him of the gruesome scenes he witnessed from his bulldozer in Gaza, and struggles to sleep at night, the sound of explosions ringing in his head.’
Hold on! So are we supposed to feel sorry for these murderers who are now having difficulties eating their McDonald’s Hamburgers?
CNN’s deplorable attempt at making their reader sympathise with IDF soldiers engaged in war crimes and atrocities in Gaza raises profound moral questions. The mainstream media’s immoral role in perpetuating a narrative that obscures the severity of the barbarism inflicted on innocent Palestinian civilians continues. Instead of holding perpetrators accountable, this narrative legitimises and whitewashes these acts of brutality.
Consider the gravity of this: hundreds of innocent lives crushed beneath a machine. This is not active combat where two sides are armed with similar weaponry and machinery. It is a slaughter, a genocide, a holocaust of innocent civilians.
This isn’t Doomsday, it’s not a Hollywood film where individuals have no choice but to slaughter their enemies in a post-apocalyptic era.
