Israeli news broadcaster Channel 12 on Sunday reported that a total of 30 servicemembers in the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) refused to comply with orders to ready the army for a ground invasion of the city of Rafah.

The broadcaster cited fatigue as the primary reason for the refusal, stating that these servicemembers feel unable to continue fighting in Gaza after nearly 7 months of combat.

Those dissenters better be careful, lest they get chewed out by a 21 year old colonel.

Probably more out of fear than compassion.

I bet, the vast majority of them at least.

Combat is a funny way to describe the indiscriminate slaughter of tens and thousands of people, but putting myself into an Israeli's shoes for a minute, I too would probably need a break for a while after living my own personal 100 Days of Sodom twice consecutively in 7 months. They probably can't even maintain an erection any more, so how are they supposed to continue to enjoy it.

That's the "funny" thing about extermination campaigns: The people being exterminated have no reason to go easy on you.

Says a lot when the Zionist military has shit like this.

"Fatigue"

Not compassion or trauma from murdering civilians. Not from a sense of moral outrage over the unjust orders that they were given. Not from a sense of justice or even from guilt. Just fatigued of having to do it so much. I get fatigued from too much overtime.

Fucking fatigue.
