This is so unbelievably on the nose that I actually thought it was an onion-esque article.

Nope. It's real. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/reservist-eulogized-for-desire-to-take-revenge-against-gazans-setting-home-on-fire-to-boost-morale/

    During the recent funeral of an IDF reservist who was killed fighting in Lebanon, his loved ones eulogized him as someone who was determined to take revenge against Gazans, even women and children, and who allegedly set a home in the Strip on fire without authorization from his superiors in order to cheer up his fellow soldiers.

    “You entered Gaza (after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, onslaught) to take revenge — as much as possible. [Against] women, children — everyone you saw. As much as possible. That’s what you wanted,” said Uriah Ben-Natan, the brother of 22-year-old Sgt. First Class (res.) Shuvael Ben-Natan, from the northern West Bank settlement of Rehelim.

    Holy fuck death to all of these freaks.

      Yeah I read that part of the eulogy and then read a zionazi's defense of it as just something said emotionally at the moment.

      I've never been to a soldier's funeral but do folks back home say this kind of stuff during euologies? (I mean we know they engage in that behavior, but I don't think they casually bring it up during funerals)

        Whom amongst us hasn't praised a dead relatives love of doing war crimes at a funeral in the heat of the moment?

        Absolutely no other eulogy laments the fallen soldier no longer being able to shoot women or children.
