      Never heard of it before. From a quick search it looks like it’s an IDF policy to not allow its own soldiers to be taken as POW (all articles say kidnapped but this is language just used to illegitimatize the forces fighting Israeli oppression) by any means necessary up to and including killing its own service members.

      Seems like the policy was invoked and lead to Israel murdering its own civilians at the beginning of the most recent Gaza conflict/genocide.

      So yeah Israel being terrible as usual.

      What were you trying to bait me into?

        Just trying to see if you’re an Israel shill. Like when you suspect that someone online is a Russia bot, you ask for a cupcake recipe. If you suspect someone is an Israel shill, you ask what the Hannibal Directive is. I think it’s a fair suspicious than someone speaking against Iran online, it’s a good chance they’re a CIA/IDF account.

          Yeah not really. That’s an insane take actually.

          People get so drawn into their camps and start viewing the world in a good or bad binary that doesn’t reflect the real world at all. The world is messy and there are a lot of oppressive regimes, and they often oppose each other. Just because one bad regime opposes another bad regime doesn’t mean that you have to pick one to be “good” and to support.

            Well, I choose to believe you’re more than a useful idiot, and are getting paid for your take. But just to be sure, can you write the words “Hannibal Directive”?

              “Dance for me so I can determine if you are an idiot or a paid shill!”

              While I want to help with your delusions that a horde of paid CIA operatives follow you around all day, you basically said if I do that you’ll call me an idiot.

              So I guess I’ll be CIA today

                    Are you allowed to say the words? Sorry, I’m new to this, and I’m still trying to gauge what’s even allowed to be mentioned. And don’t give me some “Hannibal Lectar” type of thing that hints at it either.

          Bro plenty of these anti Iran shills are just liberal idiots who have no object permanence about the region and so are easily moved by corporate media tugging at their heart strings.

          In the business they call them useful idiots. Its why neocons have had their way since 2001.

          I take your point though that a lot of these online posts are.being astroturfed by Zionists

              Yeah, I haven’t seen this level of media gaslighting since Al Jolani was wheeled into power by the CIA and Turkey.
