The Predator was after a worthy opponent. Something to give a challenge. The IDF are just bullies with guns. Think ICE but with different brown people.

I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that
Tap for spoiler
they would kidnap people who won against their hunters, freeze them for who knows how many years (thereby effectively ending their lives as they know it) and bring them across the galaxy to fight for their lives again. Respect that the winner won you sore losers. Absolutely no honor.
makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No honor? The Yatuja believe that the only honor that matters is in your hunting prowess, literally every Yatuja has never lost a fight because they always fight to the death. They absolutely think it’s an honor to be brought to Yautja Prime to fight against their leader, which is why they do that instead of just killing the people who beat a Predator. That’s a huge sign of respect from them
binarytobis@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.

IDF hates kids, think opposite of Epstein circle. Predator is impartial towards kids.
Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
think opposite of Epstein circle
In no way the Epstein circle is the opposite. Rape is not love, those people are rapists not pedophiles - or at least where until they realised they want to do harm.
Avicenna@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
that was dark humor not factual. I also enjoyed making a connection between two vile organizations. even though it looks like an anti connection the whole point of the joke is to make them look similar, precisely because of the reason you mentioned.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
They have more sense than your average American cop, too.
PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Of course they do. The first movie shows they are honorable killers / hunters.

I nean Predator seems kinda woke with that rainbow view, so it only makes sense.

There’s a difference between predators and fascist psychopaths
TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Predators do it for the hunt, not because of hate or fanaticism.
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s not a shitty movie detail, that’s a depressingly accurate observation.

Hah memes are funny.

BilSabab@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Predator is a hunter so his threat assessment is superior to trigger happy freikorp LARP.
SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 3 weeks ago
I don’t know about your country specifically, but here in France hunters regularly shoot at cyclists. Their main union even complained about a new law imposing a legal limit of blood alcohol content during hunting sessions.
BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
our hunting regulations are all over the place but there was a period in history when a number of prominent politicians got killed during hunting “by accident”. oddly enough they had ties with russia…
Fnaargh@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
If predators have a union in your country the problem is deeper than you think.

Predator Badlands was dope I’m looking forward to a sequel. Gonna watch Prey this weekend, se if it holds up. They’re kinda hit or miss, Aliens vs Predator should have been way better, hopefully they’ll give it another go with the current cast.
SillyMe@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Prey is the better movie of those two, and I say that as someone who enjoyed Badlands.

Awesome, I’ve only seen Badlands myself so I’ve gotta watch prey now

RAFAELRAMIREZ@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
One thing the Predator movies always did well was giving the creature its own strange code of honor. Moments like that made it feel less like a mindless monster and more like a hunter with rules.
itisileclerk@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
IDF are low bar or A.K.A. no-bar.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Make sure to turn on rebar.
SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, sorry - NO. It’s basic threat assessment, nothing to do with ethics.

Tbf it recognises the gun as a toy.
MyEdgyAlt@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
IDF has a long history of blowing up kids playing soccer on the beach, and shooting kids for throwing stones and let them bleed to death. It doesn’t really seem like they try to determine threat status.
MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 1 week ago
They’re worse than I thought
theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I don’t think its ethics more a lack of challenge.
SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 3 weeks ago
Not engaging in an easy kill because it would lack challenge is an example of…
*drumroll*
The envelope, please.
*rustling of paper*
…ethics.

So we’ve gone from:
I like pancakes.
Why do you hate waffles?!
… to …
Killing children is bad.
Obviously you must have brain damage that causes you to spread hateful bigotted conspiracy theories.
Somehow, reality ended up being more ridiculous than Metal Gear Solid 2.
core@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
Its b/c they specifically responded about Jewish people. They’re outing themselves as child murderers b/c they feel attacked by the statement.

I get blanking everything unimportant to get the point across, but I do wonder what the rest of the text said…
yeather@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Of what? The Ms. Rachel post? I think that was it, the post was just a white screen that said Stop Killing Kids in the center. I saw it on Lemmy earlier but don’t have Twitter to look at the original myself.

‘Are you in Hamas?’
GhostedIC@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
She did a sing along with a hamas member who probably killed kids the same age as the children watching her content.
halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
That’s the same excuse as
“The Nazis genocide is so it’s fine if we genocide others”
Goodeye8@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
And why exactly does Hamas exist in the first place? Surely not because Isreal has been killing Palestinians before Isreal was even an official state.

Idk, the further context would be knowing how outspoken she (rightfully) has been about Israel. It’s not like the post was shared in a vacuum.
