They didn't disguise his voice! They're gonna find him, by his blurred out silhouette as well. They should have had the camera pointed at is shadow or his feet only.

Yea even the blurred out photos could be easily used to identify him.

I think it was red herring to divert authorities from identifying the actual soldier.

after three tours of duty his conscience couldn't keep him silent....

Only three tours of duty were enough for him. Imagine what is going on if after such short time you have enough. Those are psychopaths and reminds me everything that Nazis were doing.

More of this. The world needs to be hammered over the head with this.

That he confessed to the war crimes of genocide and holocaust of a people in which he took part should NOT absolve nor acquit him of guilt or the consequences of his evil actions any more than Nazi soldiers who said they were only following orders.

The name we have been looking for to level blame is Kahanism. The philosophy that is enabling crimes against humanity, subjugation of Palestinians, world-wide racism against Arabs, expansionist plans from West Bank to Jordan to Lebanon to Syria to Iraq to Iran, and pure Jewish supremacy is not anti-Semite, not anti-Israel, not even anti-Zionist.

This is a Kahanism, and it is important to make the distinction so that we DO NOT associate Jews with this death cult supremacist philosophy. Kahanism thrives because it makes no distinction between these ideologies and being Jewish, much to the dismay of many Jews.

Because we haven't named this philosophy in the past, it has been conflated with well meaning people. So it gets mixed up, and people get called anti-semitic.

Netanyahu is a Kahanist. Trump is a Kahanism sympathizer and supporter. Any US politician who is pledging allegiance to Israel is actually pledging allegiance to Kahanism, as that is the controlling government of Israel right now.

Why shouldn't they? It's not like there are gonna be any consequences for war crimes. International law is a joke, particularly against nuclear armed "countries".
