Guns, girls, and ice cream

The following image has been making the rounds recently:



If I understand correctly, they're in the Israel Defense Force. A comment from the linked site by "Daniel in Brookline":

Sure, they're out of uniform. Israeli soldiers are not required to wear the uniform when off-base and off-duty -- at least, they weren't when I served, twenty years ago -- and they had to go off-base to buy ice cream, didn't they?

On the other hand, many IDF units do have strict regulations about carrying your weapon at all times. I have to wonder about the young woman in the middle -- her M-16 actually has the magazine in, which you're not supposed to do in metropolitan areas.

They look like nice ladies. Don't piss them off.

respectfully,

they're so cute!

don't be so quick to assume that they're in the IDF. it's a little known fact that israeli colonists living illegally in the West Bank are required by law to be armed at all times (though i'm not sure if this extends to women--does anybody know?). perhaps they are in one of those colonies.

in either case, i'm rather surprised by the ability of ice cream to turn active members of an occupying army into cute and friendly people. awww, isn't that nice, the pretty girls like to enjoy some ice cream after harassing and oppressing palestinian women and children!

just makes you tickle inside, doesn't it?

Harrasing, and making Palestinian families (themselves) cut down their birthright Olive Trees that aren't fenced off - thus killing generations of their family - because the Israeli's won't allow those same Palestinians to work is Israel to pay for a fence.

But They Like Ice Cream! How adorable!!!!1111

Its a little known fact because it only applies in magical places like free-palestine.com
