Meanwhile, In IDF News
The IDF isn’t just about killing terrorists. They’re also showcasing IDF cheesecake on their English language website. Miss Israel 2009 is no petty officer herself. Danger Room suggests the IDF’s focus on eye candy is a bid to change the subject amid questions over the behavior of IDF troops in Gaza. Looks more like IDF PR as usual.
Israel by the way is slamming the UNHRC report alleging war crimes as “biased” and “one-sided.” Haven’t read the report, but if it doesn’t mention the fact that UN facilities full of women and children were used as firing positions by Hamas, with no objections publicly raised by the UN, then I’d have to go with Israel on that.
The IDF site also has an interesting article about mentally disabled people being allowed to enlist, serving in non-combat roles. Some people may view that as an abuse or manipulation of a vulnerable population. Others may see it as an opportunity to fully participate as Israeli citizens, in a manner that is key to Israeli identity. Compare and contrast to international jihad’s use of retarded youth and other members of society usually excluded from combat operations.
