Aviad Kleinberg explains the hierarchy of value of human lives for the Israeli army.
“Morally, there is no difference between firing on civilians, whatever their nationality. With respect to the political culture that is emerging from the events, there has nevertheless been a step up. The IDF treats Arabs, in uniform or not, as the enemy. This is a norm that has exacted and is continuing to exact a heavy price from innocent civilians. Apparently now the IDF is also signaling that it also sees people from the left – at this stage, the radical left – as the enemy and acts accordingly.”
