Comment on Freed Israeli hostages ask to return to IDF service
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoPropaganda doesn’t mean “completely false”.
Like, they could have received huge bonuses from the IDF to “rejoin” with a cushy desk job.
But reported as their desire to place themselves in danger to defend Israel, which could sway public opinion when Israelis are mostly over it and will vote Bibi out of office the second he stops postponing elections due to his genocide.
Even if it’s true, I got a cousin who’s convoy got blown up in the ME as a US Marine. And he was the only survivor.
For over a decade the only thing he’s wanted is vengeance, to go back overseas and get “them” back.
That might be what’s happening here, but it would be a terrible fucking decision for him to go back over there. So he was medically discharged instead.
