The Hannibal Directive has been public knowledge since at least 2014, when Israel also used it during Operation Protective Edge: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/hadar-goldin-hannibal-directive
Like a lot of these, I don’t know what there is to do with this information. Clearly the general Israeli population has made peace with this. The left and right wing of the American oligarchy are both so indebted to AIPAC and company (and to preserving the power of NATO influence in the Middle East anyway) that the hostages are clearly an excuse rather than a motivation. I guess if I were in the IDF it would make me especially nervous about entering Gaza because even if I surrender apparently the high command will be fine with killing me to prevent my being released in a prisoner exchange.
I am tempted to buy a gun and go over there even though I know I won’t come back, but I don’t know if that would motivate or shame anyone.
