Palestinian civilians are describing actual warfare by Israel.

And the prisoners abuse, rape, and murder by the IDF.

But this guy was told they dont want him back, the horror.

Don't legitimize this, it's horrible too. This guy is probably just some random person who has nothing against Palestinians and just follows orders. He's not one of the higher-ups planning Israel's war crimes.

Don't underestimate how easy it is to make evil normal. When you are bathed in propaganda, it's rare that you don't start believing in it. This guy's fault is that he wasn't one of the few strong minds able to resist the mass destruction of truth.

The Hamas are not good guys either. If they had the power of Israel, I wouldn't bet against them doing the same things.

he was told the Israeli government did not want him back and that hostages were being killed by Israeli strikes.

I don't see how that's anything other than a factual statement by them.
