If the Israeli military police do not immediately open an investigation into the conduct of Brigadier General Yehuda Fach, if he is not removed from command of the 252nd Division and detained for questioning, and if the army and government do not denounce his actions, then the Israelis, the International Criminal Court and the world will all know that the IDF has a division commander suspected of… He committed war crimes, and continues with his life as if nothing had happened.
This is how Gideon Levy began his column in Haaretz, explaining that every day that Yehuda Fach spends at his job is another day of evidence, not only of the war crimes committed by the army, but that Israel is behind them, because Fach is the Israeli army, and the Israeli army is Israel. .
Levy pointed out that the discussion is no longer limited only to whether or not Israel committed ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip, but rather whether its army committed genocide, because the presence of a division commander whose combat doctrine is based on the fact that there are no innocents in Gaza means that genocide is the spirit of that commander.
Ethnic cleansing
He continued that if that commander was reprimanding his officers because they “did not achieve the goal” – which was to expel about 250,000 residents from their homes – that means that ethnic cleansing is the declared policy of the Israeli army.
Under the leadership of this leader is an Israeli version of the Russian Wagner Group, which is a violent gang of soldiers and civilians – most of whom are religious settlers – and no one knows where or from whom it derives its authority, except that its leader is the brother of the band leader, and it systematically demolishes one house after another to ensure Because no Palestinian is able to return to their homes, the army, in addition to committing war crimes, is corrupt and rotten from within.
Military affairs correspondent Yaniv Kubovic’s investigative report on Wagner’s actions cannot be dismissed on the grounds that he is just “another exception” – according to Levy – because it was the army leaders who chose him to lead the officer training school first and then to lead the division because they believe in him and his path, and even identify with him.
The writer recalled that Gaza was destroyed by Fakh and those like him, and by the Bladot Heavy Engineering Equipment Company led by the brother of the division commander, not in the name of gangs and people thirsty for revenge, but in the name of the army and on its behalf, because Fakh believes that “the loss of land alone will teach the Palestinians the necessary lesson.”
There is no doubt that hearing what Fach did in Gaza makes Meir Har Zion – who killed 5 Bedouins in retaliation for the killing of his sister in 1954 – a meek lamb compared to Fach, who devised a plan to expel 250,000 people with his dream of killing every person in Gaza.
Levy recalled what former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan wrote, saying that Har Zion is the best soldier the Israeli army has ever produced, noting that that killer now has an heir. He and his squad are supposed to return in March to the Netzarim Pass.
