    They’re not being trained to be elite troops the way that people mythologize the IDF who somehow managed to miss all of the warnings about October the 7th and can’t tell the difference between a baby and a bomb.

    They’re being trained to be the enforcers of apartheid. Racistly motivated government shock troops don’t have to be competent or capable they just have to be cruel and follow orders.

      The IDF is mainly occupied in breaking the arms of 12-year-old kids and murdering civilians. If that makes them an elite force, then maybe ICE will be one too.
