Part III. Chimera

 

Chapter 81 Signs of the stampede (3)

 

Since childhood, young soldiers had seen that adults directly looked down on Palestinians.

 

"Palestinians are an incompetent and inferior race."

Someone even insisted that they were not human.

 

Young soldiers ethically hesitated to play brutal acts against Palestinians. But some of them took advantage of the adults' words.

 

"If they are an inferior race, or if they aren’t even human, we can do anything.''

"You had better think of them as a dog or a cat. “

 

When Israeli soldiers carried out counter-operation to Palestinian settlements against their terror attack, they chased the screaming and fleeing Palestine women. They devoted themselves to temporary pleasures.

 

Once a human being made a mistake, he was paralyzed himself next time. A terrible habit came into fashion among the soldiers. Someone hung small pendants in the shape of kitty over his belt. He boasted to his colleagues that how many kitties he had.

 

A stampede had begun. It looked like a sign of human extinction.
