For anyone wondering, this is an actual photo of Israeli soldiers posing with a Palestinian female prisoner.
For context, here is a link to a France 24 news article from 2010 that references this same photo

Good old France 24. Protecting the soldiers right to privacy while representing their government.
Bro got banned for this classic ledddit
Oof, the confrontation of cognitive dissonance was a little too strong, I guess.
To be fair, they did make a post with an intentionally incorrect title
Don't even know why that should be relevant, the sub is MadeMeCry and it's just as sad either way.
The actual rules say "titles should be descriptive" and, well, this one certainly does describe something.
I don't think "ham thoroughly soaked in rum being eaten by a fat drunk man, and a short, bald drunk man" is appropriate either, despite also being similarly descriptive.

No need to be fair. Mods choose which rules they enforce based on perceived harm. They're not robots.
This is backwards. The vast majority of people, certainly here on the internet, support the Palestinians. Especially young people, even when you are looking outside of the internet.
Meanwhile, almost everybody seems to have forgotten about the plight of the Ukrainians.
I'm not sure if you're right: https://www.reuters.com/world/us-public-support-israel-drops-majority-backs-ceasefire-reutersipsos-2023-11-15/ -- and that's almost 2 months old, support for Israel has probably not gone up.
Ukraine is getting way too little support though from everyone, that's true. I think what they need is weapons and additional financial pressure against Russia, not like angry retweets and memes. Those are pretty much the modern equivalent of thoughts and prayers.

I don't think support of the Palestinians was that clear even a few weeks ago. At least in relation to current events. Opinions were in a lot of flux
Eh not sure about that

Those can't be recent posts on Reddit. Reddit got rid of its award system recently. Not that I don't believe these things happen, I do.
This is why the "4 days ago" type of timestamp is garbage.
Remember the US government and congress are okay with this organization and send them billions of dollars every year.

What do you expect when your army is a bunch of 18 year olds doing national service. Ridiculous really. Also how did Hans get into the IDF, amazing.
Isn't that most armies?
Grew up in a city in the US with a massive military presence, like a giant frat party constantly going off.
