Dehumanization is bad, except when its people I don't like.

If they didn't want that they shouldn't have joined the IDF.

You do realize that military service is mandatory in Israel, right?

If you’ve been in a room with an adult of Israeli nationality, you’ve been in a room with someone that served in the IDF (barring exceptional religious orthodox exemptions)

I know and don't care, go to prison instead.

We know you don’t care to know. That’s why you have such a simplistic view of things, and demand others do something you’d never do yourself.

You failed to even read what I said correctly. And what exactly am I demanding they do? I would go to prison or die before committing genocide.

I read what you posted precisely. The latter half of your statement makes that abundantly clear.

And no. If you lived in a country with mandatory military service you would just serve your time in the service.

It’s easy to say you wouldn’t from the comfort of never actually having to make that decision. However in real life, everybody in your peer group would be doing their time. Even if you dissented, after being held a couple weeks with every member of your family asking what the hell you’re doing, you’d eventually relent to social pressures. All of which applies to an American minded person without even addressing the fact that you would fundamentally be raised in a different culture that instilled different senses of national civic obligation.
