    Bruh, reminds me of the stories I heard about ww2 when the imperial japanese army invaded my homeland China, they would force people to kneel and sing the japanese national anthem under the threat of execution if people didn’t comply. Its so evil disgusting villainy.

      The irony (for anyone not clear on it or not catching it) is that the Israeli military forced the captives to wrap themselves in the flag of Israel—which prominently features the star of David—so that soldiers could take pictures of them that could be circulated to humiliate the activists.

      Where else have we heard of people being forced to wear the star of David so that everyone could point and laugh and humiliated them?

      Israeli soldiers are so eager to “tea bag” their enemies with their own flag that they’re unable to see the irony.

      I mean no offense on the whole, but its quite ironic given the reports on how they treat Uyghur folks.

      …Kinda like Israel’s irony here. And the US, and, you know, a whole lot of countries right now. Trauma tends to get passed down, it seems.
