    Why do any of you believe that an image of some day dude in fatigues with a black sun tattoo and goddamn jpeg artifacting has anything to do with the IDF?

    I mean fuck the IDF, but this is just shitty propaganda

      Do you know of another armed force with olive drab linen bdu’s?

      some day dude in fatigues

      I’m gonna give you the benefit of a doubt that this wasn’t meant to say “some gay dude” but I would love to know what it was intended to be.

        Honestly, no idea. If we are guessing, I would put money in it actually being intended as “random.” My phones autocorrect be wild.

        This was on ddg, didn’t have to look super hard. No idea who it is, which is the point I’m making.

            Maybe you’re an expert on these things. Hell, you are likely right. I still stand by the point that people are ready to pile on this and accept it without critical thought because it fits their preconceived notions.

            Its easy enough to order fatigues online, and there are plenty of Nazis willing to cosplay as military (or are/were military).

              All you need to do is reverse search to find it’s colorized.

              Sure, it just happens to be the exact Israel uniform.

    Let’s take a moment and appreciate their dedication to the symbol the weight of what they don’t really understand yet, but, I hope there’d be a time for them to cowardly scratch it out or completely cut it off with their skin when the tables turn. The museum of israeli swastika tattooes would be a great learning material for the future generations.

    There have been a number of cases of neo-Nazis from Russia/the former USSR faking Jewish heritage to emigrate to Israel (along with a lot of other non-Jewish Russians looking for a way out). I wonder if this guy’s one of them.
