Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Two things. This is what you get for doing an apartheid for over 80 years and following it up with a genocide. No pity from me. Secondly those are some high numbers suggesting things aren't going that well for them

Indeed, these are shockingly high given that their entire army is something like 170k officially. If this is the rate loss for the past 8 months, they are absolutely fucked.

Active soldiers yes, but they have something like 1.5 million reservists. I'd be shocked if most of this number wasn't conscripts.

edit: 1.5 million men and women each according to NATOpedia. And jesus fuck, they have a section about minorities in the IOF, including vegans liberalism

This is what I mean when I say “there are almost 0 Israeli civilians and most Israelis are valid military targets”

Back when I read r/vegan we got occasional vegan-washing posts about the IDF, but they got shot down pretty hard.

They have a section for down syndrome soldiers

I'm guessing the quality of the reserves is pretty poor, so casualties would go up dramatically once they start getting fed into the war in large numbers.

This is why I always hate r/upliftingnews

Is it great that 70,000 IDF soldiers are disabled? Absolutely. But why do they have access to care in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Just so they wouldn't appear as casualities to the war, the moment the war ends they'll cut all their lines and let them die

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Why are they still alive?

I wonder how many of them are stuffed with organs stolen from Palestinians.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Now I'm just imagining all of them looking like Invader Zim in that episode where he was stealing organs

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Need to tack on another zero to that number.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Death to America

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Just like the resistance said months ago

It would be more meaningful if I wasn't pretty sure every IDF member was reporting to rehab after hearing a gun go off to take themselves out of a combat zone.
