It's interesting how reactionary regimes tend to take the opposite approach. Bad strategy on their part, or do they get some benefit from inflicting torture that revolutionaries don't?
That's for internal consumption. Settlers see what the Zionist occupation does to Palestinians and they're cowed into silence.
The point is to make everyone complicit, so they would support the government out of fear for retribution.
It's a form of dehumanization that makes the soldiers more willing to commit warcrimes. The soldiers who torture Palestinian children will feel less guilt and hesitation bombing hospitals.
