Good on the military police officer who actually held a soldier accountable for their crimes.
But there are so many credible reports of widespread lack of accountability for things like killing civilians. I wonder what's different here:
- Is there an ick factor here that there isn't when soldiers just shoot civilians or commit other war crimes, and this proves there is a war crime that crosses a line?
- Or is this a principled MP who is risking harassment for doing the right thing when the unofficial standard is to turn a blind eye?
- Or is this a performative sacrifice of one soldier so the powers that be have some examples to point to when people accuse them of war crimes, even if they are a tiny minority of actual war crimes, and most are ignored?
- Or as a variant of the above, are MPs so rare and under-resourced that occasionally they do legit work, but they don't have resources to push back the tide of war crimes meaningfully?
- Or has the power of the biggest war criminals like Netanyahu, Smotrich, and so on waned after the election and we are finally seeing the tide turning?

There are always investigations, but never justice. Don't be fooled.
It's the "we've investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing". The semblance of order to rubber stamp genocide.
Just because something goes through the courts doesn't legitimize it. The judicial system is what ruled that slavery was OK, until it wasn't.
This is SO ANTI SEMETIC! Jews CONSTANTLY Smear Poop on People! It's part of their RELIGION! STOP being ANTI SEMETIC!
