The Israeli army is at the centre of a second controversy over the moral conduct of its soldiers in as many days.

The revelations centre on t-shirt designs made for soldiers that make light of shooting pregnant Palestinian mothers and children and include images of dead babies and destroyed mosques.

The t-shirts were printed for Israeli soldiers at the end of periods of deployment or training courses and were discovered by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

One, printed for a platoon of Israeli snipers depicts an armed Palestinian pregnant women caught in the crosshairs of a rifle, with the disturbing caption in English: "1 shot 2 kills".

Another depicts a child carrying a gun also in the centre of a target.

Many of us know what happened, but thank you so much for explaining this. :eyes:

and hadn't been written 2 months ago. I didn't know this sad and disheartening story until now. I'm not sure what your complaint is.

The OP may have been wishing for a place like DU two months ago. You certainly provide an unfriendly welcome.

Every Israeli citizen of any decency should make their displeasure known. This kind of shows the mindset of the Israeli army.

I am so sick of all the killing and murder and torture being accepted. Not just this sick horror of a genocide that Israel is committing while the whole world watches but the killing and murder and torture still going on under my own nations government.
It makes me weep for the Earth.

Looks like they're really reaching out to their supporters on the Christian Right with that one.

This sort of sentiment is disgusting. The Israelis have become their own worst nightmare: a people engaged in the deliberate murder and elimination of another people, motivated by a bogus mythology describing their "right" to steal land and resources from those other people before destroying them altogether.

It is a fair comparison.

Like Americans, Israelis are divided on this type of behavior.

really need to push for change in the stranglehood Israel has had on U.S. foreign policy.
