this report by an israeli magazines confirms that IDF soldiers frequently admit to looting the homes of palestinians forced to flee and that this is permitted by their commanders 

People took things — mugs, books, each one the souvenir that does it for him,” said one soldier, who admitted that he himself took a “souvenir” from one of the medical centers that the army occupied."

Is Israel being made safer by the looting of Palestinian homes?

the soldiers also describe eating the food that they find in the evacuated homes 

meanwhile not too far away...

well the stuff would probably just go to waste....

not necessarily. they could let the palestinian refugees who are starving have it.

So the IDF are gonna collect bits of food from abandoned houses and somehow send it or take it to displaced Gazans. Good idea!

You've been reading the antisemite meeja again!

[bednobs]

it makes sense (in my head at least) that the soldiers eat the abandoned food

At the risk of being branded and scorned (oh please, no, how can I go on?) it seems to be the some think Jews are a faultless bunch to be revered as perfect people.

I've checked, they're more or less like everybody else, just more needy in the tribal department.

Douglas, I agree.  I'm already branded.  So happy to agree.

I would think the Jews are as venal and self-serving as any other peoples on this planet.

"You've been reading the antisemite meeja again"

the publication i linked to is an israeli magazine... thank you for confirming that you simply use the word "anti-semite" to refer to any information you dislike. i will be certain to ignore any other occasions when you use the word.

it sounds much better than leaving the gazans to starve... or the IDF soldiers scarfing it all themselves which is what they are doing

The Palestinian people wouldnt be starving if the Hamas terrorists hadnt stolen all the food donated by the rest of the world to feed the Palestinian people.Seems the Hamas terrorists hate their own people as much as they hate the Jews.

does it make sense that they should take valuables and then demolish houses when they are finished with them?

[ynnafymmi]

Perhaps the IDF were just looking for the arms and explosives that the Hamas terrorists were storing in these houses.The Hamas terrorists use schools and hospitals for storing their arsenal of weapons and explosives,why not peoples homes?

YNNAFYMMI, there is a difference between searching and looting.

[lankeela]

The Palestinians would not be starving if Hamas had not invaded Israel on 7th October.  

[ynnafymmi]

The IDF wouldnt be doing any looting if the Hamas terrorists hadnt started this war on 7th October,TCL.

so it is self defence is it? lol

[THECORBYLOON]

YNNAFYMMI, was everything fine, prior to October 7th?

[ynnafymmi]

Who said anything about self-defence?
