A groundbreaking UK documentary has exposed harrowing allegations of Israeli war crimes in Gaza, featuring firsthand accounts from soldiers who admit to indiscriminate killings, civilian targeting, and operating without accountability. Titled “You Can Do Anything”, the film has reignited global outrage over Israel’s military conduct in Gaza.
Soldiers’ Shocking Confessions of War Crimes
The documentary includes testimonies from current and former Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers who describe a complete erosion of ethical boundaries. One soldier recalls a commander stating, “You can do anything you want. There are no rules here.” Another admits to shooting at “anything that moved,” including unarmed civilians, under lax rules of engagement.
A particularly disturbing account describes an attack on a Palestinian family waving white flags—a universal surrender symbol. “We were told Gaza was a war zone, and everyone was a threat,” a whistleblower says. “But what I saw was pure revenge.”
Evidence of Systematic Civilian Targeting
The film supports its claims with satellite imagery, drone footage, and survivor testimonies, revealing widespread violations of international law. Protected sites—hospitals, schools, and homes—were repeatedly bombed with little military justification.
Human rights groups have long accused Israel of disproportionate force in Gaza, where over 35,000 Palestinians, including 15,000+ children, have been killed since October 2023. The documentary highlights cases where entire neighborhoods were destroyed, often after warnings—critics argue this amounts to collective punishment.
Culture of Impunity: No Consequences for Crimes
Soldiers claim they faced zero repercussions for their actions. “There were no investigations, no questions,” one ex-soldier says. Legal experts warn these admissions could constitute war crimes, yet Israel dismisses such claims as “Hamas propaganda.”
The film also examines dehumanizing rhetoric from Israeli leaders, with references to Gazans as “human animals”—language analysts say fuels military brutality.
Global Outrage & Demands for Justice
Since its release, the documentary has intensified calls for accountability. Pro-Palestine activists demand sanctions and arms embargoes, while the UK faces pressure to reassess military ties with Israel. The ICC is already investigating Gaza war crimes, and this evidence could strengthen its case.
Israel’s embassy in London dismissed the film as “biased,” accusing it of ignoring Hamas’s October 7 attacks. Human rights organizations counter that atrocities by one side don’t justify violations by another.
Will the World Act?
With Western nations still supplying arms to Israel, critics accuse them of enabling violence. Meanwhile, Gaza’s survivors struggle to rebuild. “You Can Do Anything” forces a critical question: Will the international community finally hold perpetrators accountable?
