No, that's a different doctrine. It came to me in the midst of the night.
It's the Hannibal doctrine. the Dahiya doctrine has to do with punishing a
population by reeking as much havoc as possible in order to terrorize them
into submission. The Hannibal Doctrine has to do with killing a captured
Israel soldier so that his life can't be traded for Palestinian prisoners.

It is called the Dahiya doctrine.

Some other more appropriate terms, war crimes, murder, holocaust, take your
pick.

Yes, but it's the something or other doctrine. It's really very inconvenient
to get these black holes in my brain. The term must have been mentioned at
least 4 times in the book this morning.

I'd say the word for it should be murder...

The reason I posted it, was that when I was responding to Carl's
response
to the story about the Palestinian traveler, I was saying that
although it
is true that our immigration officials can also be very unpleasant,
there is
a particularly harsh tone to Israeli society. I thought of this
story about
the medical profession as an example. I had kept it because I was so
horrified when I read it. And then as I was reading Blumenthal's
book about
Israel's 2014 attack on Gaza earlier today, his mention of how their
military handles the capture of soldiers, was yet another example.
If one of
their soldiers is captured, they attack the whole area where they
believe
that the soldier is being held with the express purpose of killing
their own
soldier. The purpose for this is that they do not want to be trapped
in
another situation in which they are forced to give up Palestinian
political
prisoners in order to have an Israeli soldier released. They prefer
that the
Israeli soldier die rather than give up Palestinian prisoners. This
has a
name which I can't remember just now, but it has become official
policy. I
can't imagine an American government openly having such a policy in
regard
to American soldiers. The closest we've gotten to this is not
allowing
families of people who are taken prisoner in other countries to pay
ransoms
for their lives and I believe that this policy was recently changed.
But
Israeli society is completely militarized now. It's a seige
mentality.

Gads! This trumps any story of medical malpractice or lack of caring
I've
heard of here in America. Seems we Americans are far freer than
Israelis,
and I'm not even talking about Arabs or Palestinians.
I sure do wish we could find a way to get this story into the wall
Stream
media.
