49. Here's a quandary - aren't all able-bodied Israeli adults reservists?
I absolutely condemn the Israeli government's war crimes, but in a country (unlike ours) in which you are forced to serve in the military, where's the line between "soldier actively engaging in war crimes" and "civilian who may be called up to aid in war crimes"?

If an IDF member is killed, but they oppose their government's actions in Lebanon, do they deserve condemnation to the degree their government certainly does?

I'm just asking, as this is something that just came to me.
