Imagine The Outrage If Any Non-Jew Wore Shirts Like This


It is common practice in the Israeli military for soldiers to get custom-printed T-shirts with their unit's insignia along with graphics and text. A sharpshooter's T-shirt from the Givati Brigade's Shaked battalion shows a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bull's-eye superimposed on her belly, with the slogan, in English, "1 shot, 2 kills."

One must wonder why any wacko Muslim who says something silly gets a mic, but Israeli soldiers wearing T-shirts bragging about war crimes is conspicuously absent from the media. Did I mention that these shirts have to be pre-approved by the IDF?

I had heard about the pregnant shirt thingie but hadn't seen it for myself. This is terribly sad. This is what happens when human life is not valued and bullshit ideological positions take precedence over human decency.

That is straight up wrong and war is wrong.

I have come to a place where I think that war is just for bullshitters in positions of power. They almost never get hurt but innocents always do.

None of this makes sense, nor does the US foreign policy supporting these massacres.

Wow, this is really disgusting. Do you know how many soldiers are really wearing this? And when you say they have to be approved by the IDF, what exactly do you mean?

I read the articles on BBC and Haaretz Daily about this, and they talk about how the Israeli military is condemning this. They do mention that some low level platoon leader approved it, but this is just another case of some wackos crossing the line, which is found on all sides of a conflict.

I'm not defending it, nor diminishing it, but to generalize it as a Government approved action is not quite right either.

Ahhh Anonymous, it wouldn't be the same without the usual apologist for Israel. If it were a Muslim wearing a sick T-shirt like this, would you ask the same questions?

Well, in any event, here is the original article from Ha-Aretz.

If it were a Muslim wearing a sick T-shirt like this, would you post it to your blog with the same outrage? I think not. Your entire blog is obviously one-sided.

You're right. You got me there. Score 1 point for Anonymous. LOL!! Come on Man, take it up a notch.

I wouldn't need to post this story if it were Muslims wearing the same T-shirt. Fox News, CNN, MSN, WorldNet and the rest of the propaganda bullhorns would inundate the American public with it.

But, alas, it isn't news in America when a group of people who can't whine enough about their victimhood, who claim they are little angels who just can't understand why other people might not like them, who only want peace, wear such profane, vulgar T-shirts.

And you call me one-sided? That's funny. Just like a good well-conditioned Pavlov dog.

I'm not one-sided. Just trying to add some balance to the otherwise one-sided coverage of everything Israeli.
