    I don’t think this is true. The armored bulldozer is nicknamed “the teddy bear.”

    The nickname comes from the Hebrew acronym for armored mechanical engineering equipment (TZMEDA), which sounds like "doobi." The D9R is also known as "דובי" in Hebrew, which means "teddy bear."

    The stuffed animals in the photo appear to all be teddy bears.

    Of course I wouldn’t put it past the IDF to do what’s claimed in the OP.

    Free Palestine.

        I think he's saying the picture is real, but that the context/story might be fake. Ie: they put teddy bears on the thing but the teddy bears don't necessarily come from Palestinian kids.

        Still pretty deranged...but not comic book villain levels of evil.

          Putting children’s toys on your murder and de-housing machine is pretty comic book villain imo. Point taken though
