Israeli captain: ‘We have to stop aid if we want to win’

An Israeli soldier in military clothing has said the the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) must stop all food aid into Gaza in order to win, essentially calling for the starvation of up 1.1 million in Gaza who are currently at risk of famine (according to Oxfam). The man was identified by Palestinian journalist Younis Tirawi as a captain in the Israeli army called Ayreh Weinstock. Although army captains aren't in charge of the military's actions, this is one of many examples that could be used to show how genocidal rhetoric is commonplace in the Israeli military, and could be used as part of upcoming international court cases against Israel and senior figures in the government and military.
