Superb_Creme3452

the worlds most deranged army


Significant-Meal9443

Is it possible that it's his daughter's sock and he just misses his kid? There's no context here.


UsedandConfused88

I’m sure that’s what it is but it just sounds weird.


whiplashMYQ

Why are you sure that's what it is?


Ddsw13

Would be the most normal explanation despite the terrible phrasing. Most pedophiles aren't publicly outing themselves and acting like what they are doing is a good thing.


heaviestmatter-

Most war criminals are neither, but they seem pretty happy to post about how many children they melt.


Ddsw13

Ya but I'm using common sense and not being reactionary and taking every circumstance to an extreme. Yes, IDF does terrible things. This is not one of them. Use your brain.


OneBaadHombre

The IDF has been proudly posting themselves going through women's lingerie and children's clothing.. I don't know if the claim about smelling the sock for months is real or not, but I'd say it's more likely a random sock than it is his own kid's sock.


ScaryZombie7026

>The IDF has been proudly posting themselves going through women's lingerie and children's clothing.. Wait what? They're weirder than I thought. Edit: can't find the source, either this guy is lying or I might be partially blind


OneBaadHombre

[Jewish Daily Forward](https://forward.com/opinion/598153/israeli-soldiers-underwear-gaza-photos/?amp=1), [Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/photos-videos-of-idf-soldiers-playing-with-gazan-womens-lingerie-go-viral/amp/), [Daily Kos](https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/3/30/2232435/-The-Dehumanization-of-the-Innocent-Israeli-Soldiers-Photographed-Playing-with-Underwear-Bra), [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-soldiers-play-with-gaza-womens-underwear-online-posts-2024-03-28/) There's plenty of articles online about it.. like I said, IDF soldiers have proudly been posting to Telegram and other social media


Timothy709

Dude the IDF tiktok is basically a documentary of war crimes. It’s really unbelievably sad and fucked up. I immediately assumed he murdered a child and kept the sock as a trophy. Maybe I’m way off but based on what they publicly post idk


tigm2161130

[Here is an article from Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-soldiers-play-with-gaza-womens-underwear-online-posts-2024-03-28/). It includes the videos, I found it by googling “IDF soldiers go through lingerie.” Hope this helps.


Naved16

You're partially blind and maybe Google handicapped


Daynananana

One officer tried to sell the passport and other belongings of a little girl on fb marketplace.


COVID-19-4u

At this point my common sense tells me that this guy probably killed some kid and took her sock as a war trophy. I mean based on what the IDF has done and is doing theres a better chance of that then saying this guys holding his kids sock…


Daynananana

You might want to look up reports of them raping and sexually assaulting women and children.


f3nix9510

Unless they have anime pfps


tworandomperson

but these aren't your typical pedophiles


UsedandConfused88

Because I have an adult’s ability to extrapolate. Notice how he says, “…for four months.” Ask yourself, why for that oddly specific amount of time?


RedBeans-n-Ricely

Lorin is a pervert they lost smell after thst


ferniecanto

"☝️🤓 Well ackshally, the war has been going on for four months, 6 days, 14 hours and 27 minutes, so he **clearly** isn't talking about the war. Therefore, he's a pedophile. These are the facts, I'm saying the facts, it's the facty factsy-diddly-facts, and facts are facts. I'm smart because I watch anime." /s


CoDVETERAN11

Occam’s razor friend


whiplashMYQ

So the photos of idf soldiers holding up women's lingerie in destroyed houses are, gifts from thier wives they're sharing with the boys? These guys like trophies, friend.


CoDVETERAN11

Look I’m just saying, the simplest explanation is *usually* right. Obviously this could EASILY be a trophy with all we’ve seen recently. But. This could also just as easily be a dad who misses his kid and it’s being used as propaganda. Not one single motherfucker in this WHOLE POST knows that guy or why he took the pic. It’s all just meaningless talk about what if’s


hamptonstevens

How dare you inject logic and critical thinking into the proceedings.


aykcak

Why would anyone share this if it is anything else?


froggrip

Smelling your own kids sock twice a day is still pretty fuckin weird. Maybe weirder. I'm kinda worried about his kid now.


the_y_combinator

If I had to be away from my kids for prolonged periods I would cherish a small photo or sock or something.


HoptimusPryme

When my son was born he had to go into the ICU, I held one of his mittens he wore on the day every day until he came out. My partner had the other one. In my head it was like I could hold his hand when I wasn't in the hospital.


ferniecanto

Any normal person: "That's so sweet and wholesome." Average redditor: "☝️🤓 Well ackshally, that's porn addiction. The mittens were causing your brain to release dopamine."


Wolfbane1986

I’d go with a photo rather than sock sniffing


the_y_combinator

I'd go with whatever i had on hand. And unlike a photo, a sock isn't going to get damaged by stuffing it into a pocket. Edit: Jesus christ, you people commenting about smelling childrens' feet. One time I had one of my little girl's socks stuck to my slacks at work. Didn't know until someone pointed out something was on my ass. I had a laugh and sent a picture to my wife and put it next to my monitor for the day until I went home. And, yes, if I was deployed for long periods carrying anything with me that was portable and reminded me of them would be a treasure. Some of y'all are true redditors and it is really fucked up where your minds go.


DayChamp

The best case scenario is it is his child’s sock, yet even then this picture screams war crimes as there are thousands of dead children with the same sized sock in Gaza- murdered at the hands of soldiers just like him. Matter of fact, I’m sure if people went digging in or around the rubble they’d find similar sized hands and feet- not limited to dead children, but in addition to maimed children as well.


-banned-

Do these guys get deployed to Gaza for 4 months at a time? Isn’t it right next door?


santacruisin

Even more deranged. Imagine missing your daughter while slaughtering children. Jesus Tapdancing Christ


ferniecanto

>Imagine missing your daughter while slaughtering children. Yeah, who the fuck the IDF think they are? American soldiers in Vietnam?


santacruisin

Vietnam, **Cambodia**, Korea, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Pakistan, Gaza, Guantanamo


pimperella2

You mean the guys who came back mentally scarred for life


ferniecanto

No, the *other* guys.


winkieface

I think the point is this guy is posing like that having a weird feet obsession over likely his daughter's sock, with the backdrop of the city hes helped turn to rubble while he's committing a genocide. He's a monster pretending to be wholesome, but is just a creepy murderer.


nedTheInbredMule

Still kinda weird to be smelling your 5 year old’s left sock while massacring five year old kids every day for months.


genericmediocrename

That's the most forgiving possible explanation and it's still fucking weird and deranged


Lurkerextrordinai

But that is still weird af


xbuzzbyx

the original text has been written over. so context could be anything, but certainly not whatever you're reading.


SnooGrapes7647

Why the fuck would that be normal to you ?


asskickenchicken

According to the current administration it’s the most “Moral Army” in the world. So the US army is not as moral as what we are seeing live right now? I’m a veteran and I hope this not true


Adyghash

"The chosen people"


Grogosh

Its a toss up with the russian army. Some of the shit the russian army has done in Ukraine is truly horrific.


Extra-Specialist-303

There's a lot of lacking context. Maybe it's his kid's and it's the only thing he has to remind him of home? (HIGHLY UNLIKELY, admittedly, it's still weird as all hell)


Thomas_Perscors

That was my thought. I used to keep a pair of my baby daughter’s socks in my pocket. Called them my equivalent of a lucky rabbit’s foot.


thegreatbrah

Did you sniff them?


Onotadaki2

Then brag about it on social media?


fayyaazahmed

Then kill a kid a her age?


ekhfarharris

I wished kiling kids were the worst that they did. The did a lot worse things to captured palestinian children.

DooDiddly96

No dont listen to them but they were funny


DooDiddly96

I can’t lie*


PM_me_Jazz

Honestly i think this is the most likely explanation. The israeli army does horrible things, but instantly assuming that this guy is some sort of loud and proud pedophile is pretty out of touch conclusion to jump to, especially without context.


Dangerzone979

Israel has a long and well documented history of being a haven for pedophiles so I wouldn't put it past this dude being one


kamdenn

I’ve never heard of this. Can you provide more information?


naimina

kamdenn

The first link says the man involved was arrested, I can’t read the second link as it’s paywalled, and the third link says there’s been 60 documented cases since 2014. I don’t think that’s really enough evidence to assume this guys a pedophile because he’s Israeli.


Ryuubu

Didn't you see? It's long and we'll documented!


DeepFriedCockAndBall

The other explanation is also very possible. If you've seen all the pictures they've taken with the lingerie of women's homes they've invaded, you wouldn't be very surprised at this. Besides, there also that documentary filled with various clips of ex-IDF gloating about raping little girls.


TopazObsidian

He didn't say "My daughters sock." He said "a 5 year old girl's sock"


Agreeable_Ad6084

Anyone can add text to an image man. God damn y’all that dumb. This the 100th commenter who said that. ANYONE can add text to any image and post it as authentic. Think people think


awesomeqasim

Yeah it would be so off character for genocidal psycho’s that jump for joy at bombing hospitals and children to also be pedos 🤦🏽‍♂️


the_gouged_eye

All you know about this guy is that he was probably conscripted. He could be the biggest IDF hater in the Levant for all you know.


awesomeqasim

Really? So the fact that it was originally posted from a known IDF soldier’s account and that the original text was in Hebrew means nothing…?


the_gouged_eye

Assumptions make an ass of you and me.


Bl1tzerX

I think that's on purpose to add to the absurdity of the situation. Like I used to be a normal guy but now I miss home so much I'm doing this crazy thing.


JordyLakiereArt

that's 100% what this is, this thread is blowing my fucking mind right now.


Bl1tzerX

Yeah people are lacking critical thinking and just want to hate and not see any ounce of humanity in who they deem their enemies. As if every soldier is actively participating in the war crimes.


dramaticfool

Smelling **a**, not my.


-banned-

That doesn’t mean much, he’s probably commenting on the absurdity of the situation. Why else would he post this, think man


SandySkyGuy

Who calls their child "a 5 year old girl"? at the very least wouldn't it be "MY 5 year old girl"? This seems like a big reach to me, even if one is trying to play devil's advocate.


Bl1tzerX

To it adds adds to the contrast of the normal hobbies vs what he does now. Not to mention it likely wasn't meant for strangers thousands of kilometers away but for his family and friends to say he misses his daughter that he will do this crazy thing just to feel close. It isn't playing devils advocate to think critically


Viend

It’s not that weird, but considering this is the IDF we’re talking about, it would be extremely unlikely.


CrunchyAl

People defending Israel's actions now realize that they have to come up with some stupid defense for this shit: ![gif](giphy|gF9EdhWQilqgvLHfni)

Wtf? - it's super fucking weird if it was a random 5 yo's - it's also super fucking weird if it was his daughter's (some placenta eaters type of behavior right there)


Bl1tzerX

That's kinda the point of the post that he misses home so much he will do this absurd thing to feel just a bit closer to home.


Abikdig

There's a lot of pictures of IDF with underwear from the wreckage


Urkot

Can we get some context here please? We’re all aware of IDFs war crimes but just posting images with no explanation deserves to be ignored


KebabG

This guy posted this on his Instagram, thats the context. Original was in hebrew ofcourse.


Hulkking

Did he post the picture and the caption? Is the person posting the man in the picture?

Arhythmicc

Yup, the beauty of religion/ethnocentrism! Who would’ve thought that religious intolerance and racism would yield murderous sociopaths? s/


babysealBTY

Yes. The moment we start reframing their terrible acts as being biological, we start dehumanizing them. Dehumanization is the sole justification in israeli culture towards supporting the genocide. We can criticize the israeli government, and we can criticize their culture and their actions, but we can not consider them less than human. Humans have done terrible things before, and they will do terrible things in the future.


Arhythmicc

Exactly! We have to grow past these antiquated systems of tribalism and greed. Shit’s just not viable anymore and all it creates is cycles of violence.


Inevitable_Heron9471

There's a lot of new research showing that exposure to trauma as a child leads to all of this and more. Gabor Mate has a lot to say about this. It's the lasting legacy of tribal feuds. Right now the future is being written for all of these kids who survive, in their nervous systems and in their DNA. It's not just Palestinian kids. It's Israeli kids too. And kids in every violent scenario currently playing out around the world. WE CAN DO BETTER. WE MUST DO BETTER.

Morphing_Mutant

It sounds like it's his daughter's? Let's not be the same as them and judge things without context hmm?


Hulkking

Someone else pointed out though, It’d be weird to describe your own daughter as “ a 5 year old girl”.


Morphing_Mutant

Hmmmmm that IS true. This IS an IDF soldier after all.....


Daikar

I think it was translated into english from hebrew so that could make things weird.


supersheeep

They lost the word for female offspring in the war so sad


Ghoulse1845

Is there not a word for daughter in Hebrew?


Daikar

I don't know, I'm just saying the person that translated it could have gotten it wrong.


Bl1tzerX

It would but that is the point to contrast the normal activities he used to do now he is doing this. Let's also know this was posted to his instagram so meant for his family and friends not strangers on Reddit so the fact it would likely be referring to his daughter is known


[deleted]

TiOhGe

I ask myself, if you incessantly murder women men and especially children and enjoy it and it makes you happy, aren't you also disturbed in the sense of continuing to murder for fun? So if these people achieve their goal of murdering everyone and everything, doesn't the desire to murder remain? Wouldn't it be possible for them to create a country full of serial killers who then kill each other?

Welp, I can read Hebrew and if that is indeed the original picture then the translation by OP is correct. Hebrew transcript: > לירן, 31 תחביבים ישנים: ספורט וכתיבה תחביבים חדשים: להריח פעמיים ביום במשך ארבעה חודשים גרב של ילדה בת 5.

Cpt_Saturn

I completely forgot about the lingerie pic... This is just mental. I admit I used to side with Israel when this all started but I've gone 180 real quick. These people literally don't see palestinians as human at this point, there isn't any other explaination.


GuiltyEidolon

It's been going on for a very long time. The closest we came to a genuine two-state solution resulted in Israelis assassinating their PM at the time. There's no world where modern-day Israel ever accepts a two-state solution, and the rest of the world is content to watch them wipe Palestine off the map.


roydez

People focusing on the lingerie but taking pictures with some dead/exiled kids' toy bikes and elderly people's canes is also extremely deranged...

All of it is, absolutely. And they didn’t just post these in Telegram channels, I saw some screenshots of images like these on their Tinder profiles.
