Service is mandatory
She didn't have the obligation to express her proudness of doing the "service " though
The comment above needs to say that then. They had issue with her serving at all.
Everybody should have an issue with people serving in an occupation force
These people are just turning 18 and probably reluctant to leave their home and family/friends and probably don't want to be in jail either. They've spent their entire life with propoganda shoved down their throats and with tons of pressure to just get it done. No, I won't hold that against them.
I'll hold it against them if they choose to take other actions, but not that. They didn't choose where they were born.
Wherever you are living, you've done far less than it would take for these people to avoid serving. You're comfortably sitting at home with relatively few worries.
Just replace israelis with russians and you should see how dumb is your comment is. The least she could do is just to shut her mouth and don't be proud about serving in that genocidal terrorist army
The last part, yes.
I don't have any issue with Russian people either. It sucks what they're being forced to do, and should be killed because they're being used to invade another nation. That doesn't mean I'll hold it against them if they decide to work with us against the Russian elite that are causing the issues.
Don't make potential allies into enemies because of their past. Gal is not a potential ally. She's an Israel sympathizer. That's the thing that's bad about her, not that she served in the IDF.
She is an occupation and a genocide supporter because she was proud of joining the occupation and genocidal force.
That's what I said! I don't know why you're arguing with me. It's bad because she was proud of it. It isn't bad just because she had to.
Don't hold it against people who are against it just because they served. That doesn't define them. Their choices do. If they serve in the IDF and then work against it, they're allies. If they don't serve and work with them, they're still enemies even though they didn't serve. To say it a different way, the service isn't the issue; their choices are.
