It's a translation of an interview that appeared in some mass circulation tabloid in Isael with this guy nicknamed "Kurdi Bear", who drove an armoured bulldozer around in Jenin refugee camp earlier this year flattening stuff. Regardless of any kind of political subtext you might like to infer, what is fascinating about it is the simple pleasure the guy gets from smashing things up and destroying people's homes. At times I wonder whether that's part of the appeal of war, the way it gives carte blanche to men to act like maniacs.

As seen in fahrenheit 911 one way to do this is to listen to certain music to get pumped.
Another trick is to call the people facing them such things as pigs : it's dehumanizes the other side, not being humans it's less difficult to kill them.
