It's remarkable how fractious and divisive these people are in the face of external dangers. Normal people fighting a dirty war try to hush up their crimes, sweep things under the rug... You see this in Germany and the Holocaust, you had higher ups in the Posen speeches saying to a selected audience of elites 'alright this is wartime we can get away with stuff we can't do in peacetime, once we win this won't be spoken of in public'.
But the Israelis are screaming at eachother in Parliament "Is it legitimate to insert a stick in someone's rectum?" and someone goes "Yes everything is permitted, they're Nukhba!" (A Hamas unit).
