It's almost like richest 0.01%, and the political classes they own, trend towards psychopathy/sociopathy, which is why so many of them support fascism.

Jaakkola declined to assess the moral dimension of cooperation with Israel, saying military leadership traditionally avoids judging political decisions.

Such a vague way to say they ignore war crimes committed by a government.
