Holy shit, Haaretz published a list of atrocities Israeli soldiers did and saw in Gaza, and the details are stomach churning:• Soldiers pissing on a bound, blindfolded detainee while laughing and joking about October 7
• Interrogators torturing detainees by tying cable ties around their genitals
• An officer executing an unarmed Palestinian who had surrendered with hands up, then covering it up as a “terrorist killed”
• Widespread excitement in units over “special means” used to kill people in tunnels, while one soldier said it reminded him of the Holocaust
• A tank gunning down five Palestinians crossing a line (four killed), followed by a D9 bulldozer burying the bodies in sand
• Soldiers opening fire on unarmed civilians, including an old man and three teenage boys who turned out to be completely unarmed
• Looting Palestinian homes, burning photos, and urinating on personal belongings for fun
The impact back home has been brutal.
Soldiers are throwing out mirrors because they can’t look at themselves.
Others are breaking down crying in public. Many are struggling with suicidal thoughts, shame, and nightmares.
These soldiers will carry this for decades.
Heavy, painful reading.

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

Let’s Finally Do Something About the Bulldozer That Killed My Daughter
Bernie Sanders is trying to end the shipment of US bulldozers to Israel—like the one that crushed my daughter, Rachel Corrie, to death 23 years ago.
