    the hell does "May their memories forever be blessings" mean?

    the dead don't have memories.

    is this a language thing or like an idiot trying to sound poetic thing?

      By “memories” they mean “cum”

      It's a Jewish thing that's said instead of rest in peace.

      The memory of a bunch of fascists having been denazified is a blessing indeed.

      It’s a translation from a traditional Jewish (Hebrew) saying that is the most common thing to say when referring to someone who is deceased. You might also refer to a deceased person as “of blessed memory.”

      Basically means that their families cherish the memories they have of the dead.

      BTW I get the desire to dismiss the value IDF members have or ever had, but non-Zionist Jews also use this phrase, so it's worth understanding what it means.
