The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tried to spin itself as a fun force to be a part of in a 15-second video that mimicked the 90s show FRIENDS intro and coincides with the FRIENDS 25 years anniversary.
"Our soldiers couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate #Friends25 than celebrating… with friends."
This is what propaganda looks like. Making yourself look like a great group of fun loving kind people, meanwhile you are oppressors that wreak havoc on a populace your subjugate. Others in the Twitter-verse mocked their failed association to FRIENDS.
User took the episode names that start with "The One With..." or "The One Where..." and showed how much the IDF is nothing like FRIENDS. It's such a pathetic brainwashing attempt to make this armed force be likened to FRIENDS.
love the one where chandler fires white phosphorous into a hospital
The one where Phoebe shot a schoolgirl at a checkpoint.
The one where Joey fired a rocket into an arab child's head.
The one where Rachel shelled boys playing football on a beach.
The one where Monica bulldozed a village.
The one where Ross dropped white phosphorous on a playpark
The one where they shoot a kid in the back
the one when they commit war crimes
The One Where Ross Shoots A Medic And Laughs About It On Tape
The One Where Joey Commits Apartheid
the one with ethnic cleansing
That one where they killed four #friends who were playing on the beach.
Is that the episode where they drop white phosphorous on a school, or the one where they bomb 17 hospitals, 58 primary healthcare facilities & 56 ambulances?
Crafting "clever" social media memes to gain favor with the ignorant doesn't seem so easy. Making light of the crimes and suffering they have inflicted for 70 years isn't easily covered up in the internet age where video evidence is available to not let them get away with ma king light of their brutal occupation.
