Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian enclave have shared dozens of videos mocking the destruction of Gaza, trivializing the bombings and playing with objects found in abandoned houses

    From the article: [Israeli soldiers] often use the Israeli hit song Charbu Darbu, which has lyrics such as “We’ve brought the whole army and I swear there will be no forgiveness,” and “every dog gets what he deserves in the end.”

    That’s a hit song in Israel, is it? How dreadful.

      Oh, were you not a fan of songs like “Seven Nation Army”, “Bodies”, “Break Stuff”, “Fight Music” or literally any other hit song about fighting?

      Does your mirror need polishing?

      Somebody mentioned that there are fight songs popular in my country as well. It seems like the post was deleted, and I only just got home, so I didn’t have a chance to look up more than one of the songs they listed, which was a White Stripes song, but the whole thing struck me as a false equivalence, since my country’s soldiers are not blowing the crap out of civilians and using those songs as a soundtrack for tiktok videos of them doing it. Also, I seriously doubt a song that contains such dehumanizing language about a specific group of people would become a hit in modern Canada. And finally, I have no love for Canada. They did their own genocide, but that’s not the current topic. So, calling false equivalence on a post that was deleted. Guess I’m ‘that guy’ 🤷
