The existence of naziboos and the total absence of the concept of an Israboo is interesting.

It's like there's something so bereft of romance for the sniveling bureaucracy of settler colonialism and liberalism. Even the Isntreal apologists talk about the technical definition of genocide and the ineffectual leaders. Nazi apologists paint a picture of a mountain town. You get Unabomber adjacent philosophy, you conveniently benefit from antizionism=antisemitism, you benefit from racism in general as a Nazi.

For Isntreal your cool has to out cool that Houthi guy Hasan had on the stream. You'd have to make it cool to take billions from America and threaten to nuke everyone if you don't get your way.

If you had a ridiculously attractive+ethereal looking Israeli woman (your target audience would have to certainly be cishet men) and did a montage of war with "I'd let the world burn" you could get a foot hold. You get cultural pressure from Nazis if you angled anything about international oppression, so homeland is a tough foothold.

It's tough. Nazis got a lot of support and they suck the air out of the room for up and coming fascism.

They've tried to do that with awooga IOF soldiers, but it's never really caught on.

See, the problem with woman soldiers and artists is that there's too much agency. Too much defiance of gender roles. You're trying to have your cake and eat it too. That will get you funding and you can argue about democracy in the middle east. If you want fans of your fascism she needs to be barefoot and pregnant. You'd basically need to be a grungy reskin of the 1950s. You'd need full tilt islamaphobia.

The more I think about it, actually, the more central the quintessential man needs to be. He needs something almost (appropriated) punk rock and aloof about all the murdering. The sort of "I don't know what it's like to kill a man, I only kill [children]". Some kind of bushido/I do it for my kids while smoking a cigarette.

No, final answer: he's basically a more sadistic version of the guy from the Hurt Locker. You lean all the way into that Satanic "leave them at peace but if they attack, give em hell". You recontextualize the whole history with this devil may cry, akira slide, cig smoking bad ass who revels in seeing bad guys get owned. Make every grieving child into a soyjak archetype. At that point you have a Doom guy, retributive justice loving sort of motherfucker who potential fans can sink their teeth into. You appropriate Punisher and Doom Guy essentially. AND MAKE IT A DUO. THATS THE FUCKIN MOVE! The problem with Nazis is they're too atomized. Your innovation is to bring back having a war bro.

The theory that Gal Gadot is an op (largely because her acting is so bad, how could she gain prominence otherwise) really has some legs

I'd like to argue there are Israboos and it's a phenomenon I mostly see among Southeast Asian people, sometimes among Russians too. But it's less of a coherent admiration for Israel and more like thinly veiled Islamophobia.
