Summary
The doctrine Breaking the Silence, as Moses presents it, attributes to Israel’s 2023 Gaza operation: a particularly brutal form of deterrence dictating “disproportionate attacks, including against civilian structures and infrastructure” (More than Genocide, line 175; asterisks as printed).
Details
- Moses’s judgment on it: “This is clearly illegal.” (line 175)
- From the Israeli side, Disproportionate Force: Israel’s Concept of Response in Light of the Second Lebanon War argues for disproportionate force against civilian infrastructure in Dahiya as doctrine; the two accounts agree on the doctrine’s existence and disagree on its legitimacy.
