Many israelis are American nationalists and America provides israel the funds for their gear. There have even been pictures of American-israeli soldiers proudly wearing their American uniform in Gaza.
There appears to be a lot of cognitive dissonance when it comes to US complicity in the Genocide.
When it comes to any Houthi or Hezbollah topic invoking Iran is fine but the people funding israel can't be named?
Could you clarify what you mean by “many Israelis are American nationalists”.
What is a nationalist to you, in this context?
You made a pretty big claim here about American military uniforms being worn in Gaza.
What is your source?

It's fake
Literal pictures and videos of IDF soldiers wearing their American uniform. I have posted them a few months back if you're willing to dig through my post history you'll find them.
So your answer to my ask for your source is “look it up yourself”?
Here you go just this once I opened google for you and typed in words. Now you will change your mind right? https://x.com/QudsNen/status/1763579470676414467
A US Flag doesn't make it a US Uniform
Ryan McBeth already went over this

No, because a soldier wearing a patch is not the same as a soldier wearing the uniform which was what you said.
You’re conflating two things here, the twitter account claims something stronger.
And there it is another goalpost moved.
Surely now you concede
Your words.
Did you mean “their American funded uniform” by your words or did you mean the uniform they own as an American service member?
By context maybe this is a misunderstanding and you meant the former, however your words more directly state the latter.
That is the only goalpost, your words. What did you mean by them?
If it’s the former, and you meant their uniform funded by the USA then ok I misunderstood you.
If it’s the latter then I still wait for you to provide any substance to back up your claim.
Here on Lemmy where the points are so small anyone with critical thinking skills can see what’s being said here. We all see you.
I just linked you proof that debunks both your claims you just refuse to see it.
So I made no claims, I asked you to back up your claims.
It’s telling you refuse to answer my simple question.
I gave you an out.
Do you think that because a military style uniform is bought from a given country, it is automatically the military uniform?
If I buy a military style uniform from France, am I now a soldier of france?
What about blackwater PMC wearing uniforms purchased in the USA. Are they soldiers in service to the US Army? If they bought their uniform from china as the manufacturing is cheap, are they now Chinese Military?
