“Packs of DOGS who come TO EAT THEM”
The line appears on no map
… exists in no official military order
… “The forces in the field call it ‘the line of dead bodies’”
… “bodies are not collected”
… “packs of dogs who come to eat them”
… The Netzarim corridor, a seven-kilometer-wide strip of land
… “the kill zone extends as far as a sniper can see”
… “We’re killing civilians there who are then counted as terrorists”
… “we commanders and combatants are participating in the atrocity unfolding in Gaza”
… “Anyone crossing the bridge into the [Netzarim] corridor gets a bullet in the head”
… “People around me were shooting and laughing”
… “Anyone crossing the line is a terrorist, no exceptions, no civilians. Everyone’s a terrorist”
… “To shoot unarmed people?”
… “We put him in a cage set up near our position, stripped off his clothes, and left him there”
… “Soldiers passing by spat on him”
… The man had simply been trying to reach his uncles
… After a day or two, the bodies were buried by a bulldozer in the sand
… “I don’t know if anyone remembers they’re there”
… “this doesn’t just kill Arabs, it kills us too”
… “I don’t know what a white flag is, shoot to kill”
… “an adult with two children crossing the forbidden line”
… They were walking unarmed
… “we heard a massive explosion. A combat helicopter had fired a missile at them”
… “legitimate to fire a missile at children? And with a helicopter? This is pure evil”
… Vach declared “there are no innocents in Gaza”
… “Every woman is a scout, or a man in disguise”
… “claiming cyclists were terrorists’ collaborators”
… a command briefing about mutilating and desecrating the body
… “How they should have stripped him, placed him in the city square”
… “cut up the corpse and wash it in sewage water”
… “wasn’t a joke – this was a formal assessment meeting”
