    Sometimes I think they only have mandatory service for everyone so they can snatch up a bunch of pretty women to do propaganda foto ops.

          That’s the h3h3 guy right? Exactly! He met his wife (a former IDF soldier) on birthright and fuckin fell for the indoctrination.

          Knew he wasn’t cool as soon as I found out about that. I literally have friends that went on birthright (I didn’t go on mine) and they really do surround you with their prettiest soldiers on purpose, and the whole trip is for indoctrination.

      It’s so if you don’t support the IDF, you don’t support your own children.

      If service wasn’t mandatory, the IDF wouldn’t get away with as many war crimes to their own populace

      You get everyone’s hands dirty, and no one wants anyone held accountable, because most have done something wrong

      Same way authoritarians always want a society where laws aren’t enforced so everyone commits them. The goal isn’t a crime free society, it’s a society where the govethas an excuse to arrest anyone they want

        I know it’s a popular insult because it supposedly hits the hardest after the holocaust. But they cooked up their very own flavour of facism and actual nazi propaganda worked differently.
