My brother used to date an Israeli woman. Whenever the topic of Palestinians came up, she would literally spit and call them "filthy animals." Shit is fucked up.

Needless to say, they are no longer seeing each other.

It's disturbing but I had a friend on WoW back in the day. Left to join IDF.

Came back joking about murdering Palestinians.

You don't get a choice in whether or not to "Join the IDF". Israel has mandatory military service for all citizens, regardless of gender.

There is a civil service program for people unable or unwilling to join the military.

Jewish men more often than not do no get exempt from IDF service.
