AhlulBayt News Agency: One of the important issues for anthropological studying of Israelis is to examine their ideological proclivities to understand this extent of barbarism and ruthlessness. The confessions of the Zionist militaries involved in the Gaza war and the reports of Hebrew media indicate that genocide of Palestinians in this tiny strip has originated in the "Christian Zionism" ilk which has highly influenced the military structure of the regime and urges them to murder with no discrimination between military and civilian.
Daily Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, also, wrote in an editorial that the influence of ethnic [racist] extremism in the military structure of the Zionist regime is the cause of the crimes against humanity by the regime's army. This trend has persisted during the past thirty years. A series of researches, including two reports and an article from December 2024-January 2025, published in daily Haaretz, revealed that Yehuda Fakh, commander of division 252 of the Occupying regime, had issued direct orders which manifested war crimes in Gaza.
These articles, including the report of Yanio Kobovich, on December 18, 2024 under the heading, "There is no civilian in Gaza, all are terrorists: martyrdom of soldiers at checkpoints of Netzarim", the January 1, 2025 report titled, "Destruction of Gaza and cutting assistance: order of commander of division at Netzarim checkpoint" and the January 2, 2025 editorial titled, "Private army of Fakh and growing rift between military structure and rebellious commanders" have documented systematic measures which would target civilians in the cities of Beit Hanun and Jebalia and the near refugee camps.
Order for direct shooting of civilians
These reports indicate that the commanders of the Zionist regime have considered Palestinians in Gaza like "human animals" and, accordingly, a hypothetical line has been drawn up in Netzarim Corridor which would result in the death of Palestinians if they trespassed it consciously or unconsciously, although they had not been informed beforehand. According to the explicit order of the Yehuda Fakh, anyone who trespasses the line, no matter if they are man, woman or child, should be hit. He had told his forces, "There is no civilian. Everyone is a terrorist."
These measures were exposed just five months after the war, when a small group of soldiers and officers, who were scared of and shocked with these crimes, decided to break silence. Yet, most of the forces under Fakh executed his orders without any protest.
"Axis of Corpses" and aimless murders
One of the reports of daily Haaretz points to a region called, "Axis of Corpses" where the bodies of Palestinian victims had been deserted and exposed to the attacks of stray dogs. While the spokesman of the Zionist regime army had claimed that "200 terrorists were killed in this axis", one of the officers of the army disclosed that "only 10 of the dead were the members of Hamas."
According to the report of Haaretz, this strategy was not limited to division 252 and other units of the Israeli army did the same, too. A reserve soldier of division 90 has also testified that an Israeli helicopter had shot dead a father and two of his children while crossing the hypothetical line without any warning. He stressed, "They were no threat for us. What we did was an absolute evil."
Little Napoleon and crimes of Fakh
Yehuda Fakh has massacred indiscriminately thousands of civilians in any region under his command. Some of his soldiers have dubbed him as "Little Napoleon". After the martyrdom of Yahya al-Sinwar on October 16, 2024, Fakh expressed regret that he had not participated in the operation of "cutting Sinwar into pieces" to see how his "sanctity" was destroyed. One of the officers had approved that his remarks had been uttered in an official meeting and he was not joking.
According to the researches, Yehuda Fakh has not only issued commands personally without coordination with the higher officials, but also formed a paramilitary group called, "Fakh Private Army" composed of extremist Christian soldiers and civilians whom his brother "Golan Fakh" had brought to Gaza to thoroughly devastate the remaining regions.
Influence of extremist Christians in Israeli army
Exposure of these crimes urged the Israeli army spokesman to announce, "All operations were confirmed at the highest level and the decisions of the division commander have been professional and calculated." The Israeli army has also rejected the entry of civilians and private cars to Gaza and extoled the forces of Fakh. To put it simple, the Zionist regime military tells a lie and the case which must have resulted in a broad probe, has been officially confirmed and corroborated and no punishment has been issued for the extremist commander.
Broad support for Fakh at the top military levels and the influence of Christian-Zionist lobby indicate how much the Israeli army has been affected by the lobby for the past three decades. This trend began after Baruch Goldstein carnage at the Cave of Patriarchs in al-Khalil in 1994. Goldstein massacred 29 Palestinians and wounded more than 250 others. This lobby has increasingly infiltrated the Zionist regime military structure since then. According to various studies, %40 of officers of Israeli infantry are chosen from among the graduates of military schools affiliated to extremist Christians. This is while, the parties affiliated to the lobby possess only 13 out of 120 seats of the Knesset (Zionist regime parliament). These officers ask their soldiers, before any operation, to pray for "annihilation of enemies by the god of Jews [Yahweh]."
For instance, %60 of the forces of "Netzah Yehuda" battalion, who are continuously accused of crimes against Palestinians, are the graduates of these Christian military schools. These individuals have many times been charged with torturing Palestinians, raping captives and even murdering a 78-year-old Palestinian man. But, none of them has ever been punished.
What matters more is that Yehuda Fakh, as a graduate of "Bnei David" military academy, where the students are taught that Hitler had chosen a wrong goal, as a top commander, is now the trainer of new forces in the Zionist regime army.
The Christian-Zionist lobby has gone beyond religious education and infiltrated the public section, too. It possesses numerous media, including magazines, radio and TV channels. This lobby has increased its representatives in governmental institutions and receives ample financial support. Finally, it has got the control of important posts in the army.
This trend began with the foundation of "Yeshivat Hesder" (Religious-Military Academy) in 1953 with the aim of presenting military education to the Jewish Orthodox youths in a way that they are able to study the Torah while receiving military training. In 1967, there were only three of these academies, but they increased to 13 in 1990 and today there are nearly 90 of them.
