Do Israelis even have a culture besides murdering Palestinians? I feel like that's been their entire identity.

Don't forget perpetual victimhood.

Hit A to shoot, and hit B to cry.

the hit Netflix series Fauda, which dramatizes the actions of an elite "Israeli" undercover unit known as mista'arvim. These units operate disguised as Palestinians, often carrying out lethal operations in the occupied West Bank.

A TV show whose premise is that the main characters do one of the most cut-and-dry warcrimes there is.

They learned from the best. Americans have been doing this with all sorts of media for ages. Black Hawk down slaughtering Africans in a "heroic last stand". Chris Kyle just straight up mass-murdering people predator-style with high-tech weapons. And while I haven't seen it, Warfare (came out this year) is probably another one on about some Iraq war-crimes.

Then there's the fictional stuff like Rambo mowing down hordes of faceless Asians. Jack Bower torturing Arabs for "the greater good".

And a shout out to Ken Burns for whitewashing American war-crimes in Vietnam for several hours.

Still, incredibly fucked.

Totally not genocidal intent.

Do they get to shoot children?

[-] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Of course. You first see them unarmed in the sniper tutorial mission. But they late show up armed in the Armoured bulldozer mission, when your objective is to destroy as many homes as possible before the ceasefire timer runs out. The children can basically one-shot you with a single stone.

Thank god I know about few anti zionists leftist citizens of The Colonial State Israel so I know not everyone there is sick in the head.

There are dozens of them!

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 month ago

The "Israeli" mista'arvim units have long been controversial; their operations have included assassinations in the middle of Palestinian cities and even deadly raids in hospitals, as occurred in Jenin last year.

Why is "Israeli” in quotes?

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Because it is an illegitimate state

Well I thought so, but I'm not familiar with the publication, so I asked.
