Yes, “helped” liberate the kibbutz is an obvious statement. I don’t know why stories about Israeli women soldiers defending their homeland is so threatening to some. The dismissive and mocking comments started immediately.

Stating that this is propaganda to gain Western support, especially among leftists, is not mocking or dismissive. It’s the same as the all Gay and Lesbian Unicorn Battalion in Ukraine. When Western Israel was being overrun by Hamas on paragliders, one APC with an all women crew rolled up and saved the day. It’s clearly a story that’s been written as propaganda.

Print war stories that appeal to Western cultural sensitivities. It’s a common ploy in modern war propaganda.

As far as I’m concerned, any corporate media story about any war is suspect, especially one that could double as a Lifetime movie.
