„In every atrocity committed by the IDF, there is usually some sort of organizational logic or tactical or strategic explanation.“
Well, this does sound a lot like something you’d hear in WWII Germany.
Most surprising is that this horrified some of the soldiers, according to the article.
Fucking IDF wants to use “NAZA”, so we should call them the NAZA army then.
What a fucking genocidal nightmare.
The IDF wants to use NAZA? Can I get some context? I’m out of the loop
The other reply to you nailed it. NAZA is the doctrine of “eh, civilians in the way? Fuck 'em.”
Theoretically, the US does not have this philosophy. In practice, I’m not so sure our hands are so clean… but with the IDF, it is an actual philosophy.
NAZA is a military acronym derived from the Hebrew term nezek agavi,[4] and is used by the Israeli Defense Force to indicate the number of civilians expected to be killed in an airstrike as collateral damage.

It is a military philosophy not unique to the Israelis:

However, the IDF specicially refers to it as NAZA, and considering the Palestinian genocide, as well as the similarity to “NAZI”, I think it’s an appropriate insult to hang on Israel.
It has recently come out, by the way, that Hamas wanted to return the hostages on the same day they took them - telling Israel just don’t invade Gaza and we’ll send them back and we can start negotiations. Israel chose to lie about this. So while Hamas might have blood on its hands, Israel is purposefully comitting genocide. To me, that’s at least an order of magnitude worse.
A documentary from the director of No Other Land that interviews IDF soldiers. As i understand it, NAZA is their term for collateral damage. It also the title of the documentary
Nah, call them what they are. Nazis. We should be treating them and Benjamin Hitleryahu like Germany during WW2.
I think it’s more ironic to call them the name they have for killing civilians. It also sidesteps those that are up in arms about “calling them nazis is antisemitism” imho, but I’m not gonna tell you what to do. :)
Nazios
Nazions

Which sounds most recognizable
