Natalia Fadeevy, who claims she spent three years as a reservist in the IDF, boosts over a million followers on TikTok and devotes much of her page to sassy pro-Israeli military content.

      That’s the neat part: apartheid fascists don’t see those they murder as “innocent” or even as “civilians.” think-mark

        Yup, seen a lot of zionist rhetoric about the civilians not being innocent or not even being civilians (like Israeli president Herzog saying there are no civilians in Gaza, or an article by Dershowitz asking just how ‘innocent’ are Gazan civilians).

    They’ve been doing this for decades in a way, too. I remember seeing an old advertisement for the Uzi submachine gun from the 1960s that had a bunch of IDF women in short shorts firing them on the range. Gooner ass fake country.

      It seems to be a common strategy with settler colonial projects from the mid-20th century. I remember seeing Rhodesian ads from the same time period that were very similar.

      there were big campaigns of that in Ukraine too. Conventionally attractive women in spotless military garb with full makeup and hair done posing with guns as 'brave defenders of Ukraine" nowhere near the front. I assume it’s US based PR company scheme or something because one time the US did that with a police department in Ukraine, gave them shiny sleek new cars, bright form-fitting spotless uniforms and deliberately hired a bunch of inexperienced but otherwise young and conventionally attractive men and women who would do selfies with citizens but were otherwise way out of their depth in the actual job demands in their environment. I forget the specifics but it was after some fucked up police criminal incompetence or collaboration during a spate of organized kidnappings and assaults and murders that was having people in the community drastically lose faith in the government. it was a US-financed campaign after to basically hire models to be a visible sales pitch to not hate the cops.

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure if you’re conventionally attractive and have an online following, the idf will put you front and center of their advertising and you don’t directly participate in as many war crimes

    (By virtue of not wanting to risk “twitch streamer merced while executing kids” headlines)

    Post all the thirst traps you want, you’d have to post 24/7 tiddy streams for a month to counteract a fraction of the live genocide reporting already on the platform.
