    Says a lot, doesn’t it?

    Propably wanted all to know that she was a tank commander who defended the israeli citizens, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Hindu, from murderous palestinians.

    Wouldn’t you?

    Shock me!
    You don’t get it, do you?
    The point is that pro-Israel supporters constantly bang on about those murderous Palestinians - as you did again above - and yet Israeli society is heavily militarised and, as you prove too, content to classify Palestinians as “murderous.”

    And just to show how heavily militirised they REALLY are - looking forward to the day when you post a picture of Jewish primary school children marching with kalashinkovs and hand guns

    Perhaps the pic is taken out of context. It wouldnt surprise me if that is security for her wedding. God knows she’ll need it.

    I do get it!

    Israeli mothers kvell when their daughters marry, even with tanks about. And Palestinian mothers qvell when their daughters commit suicide, as long as they kill a Jew.

    I get it. Really.

    Way to keep things in context Loewenstein. Is she marrying the tank? Is that what you mean by militarisation? Because you seem to be an expert in this girls life.

    No doubt, if Israel disbanded it’s entire army, that would surely bring peace.

    Out of context?

    “Israeli bride Reut Unger poses for a wedding photographer next to an Israeli army mobile artillery piece…”

    What other context can there be?
