"When my Israeli infantry unit arrived at the first village in Gaza, in July 2014, we cleared houses by sending grenades through windows, blowing doors open & firing bullets into rooms to avoid ambush & booby traps. We were told Palestinian civilians had fled.
I realized this wasn’t true as I stood over the corpse of an elderly Palestinian woman whose face had been mutilated by shrapnel. She had been lying on the sand floor of a shack, in a pool of blood.

In some ways you are just following orders in the hope that those giving the orders are doing the right thing/
Those who worked at Auschwitz also followed orders as they believed their leaders were giving the right orders.
Any accountability MUST include anyone from those at the very top to those carrying out the orders.
