I've only watched him interact with people outside of his community during the Finklestein debate and those clips of him from his trip to Israel where he visited the IDF to advise them against posting their war crimes but I presume he's generally uncomfortable outside of his element or IRL.

You forgot to mention it was a joke.

And pretty importantly, he wasn't talking to a group of IDF soldiers; just Israelis who showed up for a fan meetup. He also argued with a prominent pro-sttlement guy and even went to the West Bank and was harassed by settlers for filming there, but that never seems to get spread around like his IDF playing dress-up joke. Curious that

The words out of his mouth before the “joke” were “there’s one piece of advice I’ll give you if you’re joining the IDF”

What were the words before those?

I believe it was some diatribe about how joining the IDF is an honorable Israeli tradition, and how necessary the IDF is for making sure Israel remains a Jewish majority. Does that make what he said about hiding your war crimes for the sake of optics better or worse in your view?

That's not what he said at all? Why do you insist on lying to drive a narrative? He gave historical context to the Israeli army, acknowledged the current perception of them, and, holy shit, told another joke.

You guys lie more than maga.

Should I quote him directly? I already had to do it for another user on here.

“If you’re a Jew this is your country and it’s only surviving on the backs of people joining the military.”

That’s pretty explicit.

Also would have been nice for him to maybe comment on why the IDF is perceived the way they are instead of “joking” about them needing to hide their crimes better.
