“If the infection spreads among ten soldiers in an infantry company, and they develop a fever after their temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, and they start having diarrhea every 20 minutes, then they are no longer fit to fight and they expose themselves to the risk of death,” he pointed out.

This might have to do with food poisoning https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231205-idf-soldiers-hit-by-serious-outbreak-of-food-poisoning/

As one wise person once said:

"Was it the food or was it cowardice?"

In the very near future an IDF spokesman in on MSNBC...

Spokesman: "A minor - very minor - number of soldiers are experiencing skin rashes."

Anchor: "There have been reports that the skin condition could be described as boils."

Spokesman: "A boil is an inflamed pus-filled swelling on the skin. Swelling is present and there's a pus-like substance." He scratches himself. "But they are not boils." He scratches himself again.

Anchor: "You appear to be scratching yourself. "

Spokesman: "I am not. And if I am - it was a psychosomatic reflex. Nothing more." He scratches himself again.

Anchor: "Do you have a skin ra—"

Frogs start raining down inside the studio where the spokesman is. The feed is cut.

I mean, I won't wish for fucking plagues on them, but them getting dysentry or just dying via gunshot in the face is just desserts... the-doohickey

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

I mean, I won't wish for fucking plagues on them

Why?

Like I just said, I don't like watching ppl suffer too much... I'd just want shoot them dead and not have to look at them....

Plus, if you're talking about literal plagues, then biological warfare doesn't sit well for me

[-] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

the implication is that these plagues are of divine provenance.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I guess the least I can say is that they deserved it (the diarrhea and diseases) for their actions,

but the concept of the 10 plagues, specifically the boils, imposed on Ancient Egypt still horrifies me, from when I was a child, and that, coupled with my anti-sanction stance as an anti-imperialist, makes me believe the 10 plagues are kinda like a metaphor to the horrors of western-imposed sanctions...

(Yes, I know the Bible may not be a historically-accurate book but in all its context, the concept still scares me)

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Understandable, I too just want fascists gone as expediently as possible with minimal theatrics*

*at least for the foot soldiers

diarrhea every 21 minutes is fit for combat, however

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Was gonna say, I've had "mild" food poisoning and I wasn't fit to leave my apartment, how the fuck is someone supposed to fight urban warfare like that?

People don't realize it but the primary goal of October 7th was to steal all of the immodium out of Israel before unleashing The Virus.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I remember all the NAFO dogs laughing at how Russia was having logistical problems on a front hundreds of kms long. Now Israel can't even stop it's soldiers from shitting themselves to death within walking distance of their own bases.

Embarrassing.

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

From the River to The Strip, IOF soldiers’ buttholes drip.

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

lathe-of-heaven This will turn out to be the fault of amerikkka cheaping out on aid they sent. The Democrats will in turn, use this as evidence that Joe Biden opposed the genocide.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I mean, did they send the refrigerators... cuz faulty refrigeration may have something to do with that...

However, according to doctors, poor storage, transportation and preparation have caused an increase in gastrointestinal diseases, severe diarrhoea and high temperatures among soldiers.

IDF has gotten food poisoning from Simple Meal. Cause: Incompetent cook

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

I met an old man when I was a kid who said he almost died of dysentery.

During the Long March, in 1935.

How is the US funded IDF suffering from the same problem?

[-] MoreAmphibians@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

I guess they didn't wash their hands after smearing their own shit on the walls of Palestinian homes.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

Critical support to doo doo in its quest to remove the IDF from the face of the earth

Dysentery and You: An IDF soldiers guide to shitting out you doo-doo ass

[-] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Is this just a spreading of the illnesses Palestinians are suffering in camps to the IOF?

Would be some form of cosmic justice like the Iron Dome interceptors that turn back into Tel Aviv or the spent one that almost crushed some settlers

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
