I saw this in a Dutch news broadcast:



You can see the clip here (in Dutch, after commercial)

...was called to mandatory duty in the IDF. They have compulsory service in Israel if I recall correctly.

Wasn't there a twenty year old killed in Lebanon recently from the US with dual citizenship who volunteered? From Washington, maybe?

Just like you said! STAGED!

I can't justify it, but I just want to rip it from his head and ensure it never goes beyond the Israeli border into Lebanon.

.

jewish talkshow hosts who think they know god better than anyone else.

Run the video...pause it before the close up!

is this a photo shop?

...the other...the soldier has facial hair in the long shot, then in the close up, his face is as smooth as a baby's ass. I think the "do rag" may have been an Israeli flag.

I don't immediately trust stuff like this anymore because of Photoshop, etc., but this is real, no matter how much you want it to be a lie.

I suspect more than a few dual citizenshipers are in the Israeli army... or it may be a "real" Israeli.

so-called Iranian guards in Lebanon, I asked how many Americans are Israeli soldiers. I saw one interviewed on CNN last week.

If it isn't a fake, then I'm pissed off. One cannot serve two countries.

like it's part of his uniform.......we are getting a little carried away here.

i would rather take all the flags away from our politicians than one Israeli soldier, they wrap themselves up in it and then crap all over it while they are crapping on us

You all just saw Michael Chertoff on your TV. He has dual citizenship with US-Israel as well....

As is the case with former Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Michael Chertoff holds dual US/Israeli citizenship; a fact which, for Hicks and other 9/11 revisionists, casts a light on the questionable motives of Chertoff and the neo-cons. As head of Operation Green Quest, the multi-agency initiative to target sources of funding for terrorist organizations, Chertoff did little to stop terrorism. Chertoff was also one of the chief architects of Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act, and advised the CIA regarding the legality of torture at Abu Ghraib.

Most obviously Perle, Feith, and Wuermser, who wrote the "Clean Break" fascist doctrine for NuttyYahoo before adapting it to the PNAC doctrine we now all know and despise.

Michael Chertoff is a citizen of the United States. Israeli law considers him a citizen of Israel as well, because his mother held that status.

...He has never claimed that citizenship! He has the right to claim citizenship in Israel, as do I, yet has not done it.

I have dual US-Italian citizenship. It's not unusual.

Sure looks real to me. It credits the photographer from AP....



An Israeli soldier, wearing an United States bandana, has camouflage make up applied to his face as troops gather along the Lebanon border preparing to enter southern Lebanon in northern Israel Thursday Aug. 10, 2006. Israel has put plans for a new ground offensive in Lebanon on hold to give a chance to cease-fire efforts, senior government officials said Thursday, a day after Israel's Security Cabinet approved a major expansion of the monthlong war.

considering the low contrast of everything else but the flag babooshka,...

the white on the flag would Not stand out like that - too crispy clean compared to general lighting.

imo, definitely faked.

I wonder why the freeps aren't screaming about this fake?

news report as well:

http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/tv/nos/journaal/sb.donderdag.1300.rm

That is fairly common there.

...that would prohibit wearing the US flag in this disrespectful manner? Or would it only be illegal if he were thinking bad thoughts about the US while wearing it?

Maybe it's not really the US flag...maybe for example its the Liberian flag with more stars than usual:


Or maybe it's a WalMart ad for a July 4th sale?

ever, the U.S. imperial military-corporate gang.

Additionally, it works as an homage to the true sponsor of this soldier's deployment.

sw

the pics are fake, but the sentiment is not.

It would seem that you find the wearing of a U.S. flag bandana by a IDF troop objectionable in some way, and therefore are at great pains to assert that this could not possibly be real.

Why is that? What would it mean to you if it IS real? (and it certainly appears to be real, your continued protestations notwithstanding).

sw

things twig, and this one twigs big time.

My criticisms of this picture has Nothing to do with how I feel about the unjust slaughter of the Lebonese or my abhorence of what the IDF is doing, or has done for decades.

looks like it's painted on his head... no shadows/folds.

I'm just going by the snapshots here. the snaps tell me different.

is the stark contrast just as the pic here on the video?
from past performance of your posts, I have every reason to believe you as I've always respected your input.
Just going with what I can see right now.

when you watch it. I can totally see how anyone looking at the still would think it was fake.

Dutch news comes in 3rd when rated for fair reporting worldwide. I totally trust it.

Israeli soldiers working alongside their US counterparts. They are all over the place. Remember this little gem from Abu Ghraib?

pic doesn't look doctored.
but the mess media certainly has been for this kind of influence Israel has/had in Iraq.

:shrug:
