It's not like he'd have anything to fear.

This isn't so much a war as it is a mass execution.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Per the article he was never in a combat role anyway - he worked as an IDF spokesman.

It's predictable that a child of Netenyahu would be more chosen than others.

This isn’t so much a war as it is a mass execution.

The rocket attacks may be, but the ground operation in Gaza is going to be anything but. There's going to be a lot of casualties on Israeli side before this is over and the first waves of wounded soldiers started coming into hospitals around Gaza right on the evening when the invasion started.

The occupation army has lost at least 15 soldiers in 24 hours, and Hamas claims that they destroyed 5 tanks, but the IDF only showed one last time I checked.

There was a Hamas video that looked like it was right out of the first days of Russia's most recent invasion of Ukraine.

Hamas fighters run up to tank, place IED shape charge, run back, boom.

I say Ukraine style, because just like Russia advanced tanks WITHOUT INFANTRY SUPPORT and got wrecked by anti-tank teams, there were NO IDF dismounts insight, although it's possible they were engaged elsewhere at the time.

The parallels between what ukrainians are fighting for and palestinians are fighting for is so clear to see. Yet i see people unironically support ukraine and israel at the same time.

I've seen the ukranian flag and the israeli flag next to their usernames. And i truly wonder what their thought process is to get them to that point.

Not all recruits serve in combat roles — Yair worked in the IDF spokesman's unit instead. Later, he got a bachelor's degree in international relations and a master's degree in diplomacy and conflict resolution.

And earlier this year, he drew a strong rebuke from the US State Department for spreading a conspiracy theory that America was funding ongoing protests against his father's controversial judicial reforms.

Bro you did not learn much in school it seems lol

Some israelis must be very dumb.

I maintain that a common sense measure for any war, or "extended conflict," or "special military operation" is the mandatory and automatic drafting of any children of the ruling class into the infantry.

If the ruling class has a problem with that, you should have a problem with them.

[–] ShroOmeric 1 points 1 year ago

Perfectly right.

Damn, Israel has an even shittier Spez than we do

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

[–] NOT_RICK 8 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm really wondering. Tough question.

Corrupt parents breed corrupt children. Regardless if their last name is Netanyahu or Trump.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


As 360,000 Israeli reservists flock home to join the war effort against Hamas, some returning volunteers and their families have asked why one young man with a powerful dad isn't among them.

Since Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing civilians and kidnapping hundreds of people, the podcaster has used his Instagram account to raise funds for charity groups working to support the victims of the attack.

We saw the pictures from October 7 of people sleeping on the floor of planes from Japan, from New York, from Hong Kong, from Thailand, just to get back," said Mitchell Barak, an American-Israeli pollster and political analyst based in Jerusalem.

But despite his influence on his father, Yair may be reluctant to return home after a string of controversies and court cases prompted him to leave Israel earlier this year.

And earlier this year, he drew a strong rebuke from the US State Department for spreading a conspiracy theory that America was funding ongoing protests against his father's controversial judicial reforms.

"The insinuation that the young activist had an intimate relationship with the head of the party, a married man who is decades older than her, could humiliate her and make her a target of hatred, contempt or ridicule," Judge Ronen Peleg wrote in the ruling.


The original article contains 1,163 words, the summary contains 210 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

He has also been spotted sorting donated supplies for Israeli soldiers and civilians in the US city of Fort Lauderdale.
