    1. This system of "free fire"/kill zones and enemy body counts replicates that used in the US war in Vietnam. In Palestine and Vietnam, these policies led to mass death among civilians. x.com/haaretzcom/status/1774434218505867576

      By shifting unrestricted targeting from presumed-enemy individuals to presumed-enemy regions, "free fire"/"kill zones" scale up the kind of indiscriminate destruction, leading to enormous death tolls. Again, this is Turse on Vietnam.
