“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”
