Refugee camps? Not so much. Neither pige-y nor bebbeh should ever have to be in one... #ezzabedrabbo

No seriously, I do. I think it's Ziva David's fault. And yes, I just referenced NCIS. #telaviv

This was all declassified last year. My aunt Ruthi could never tell us what she actually did all those years before last year. She's 84 now.
The Mossad is an intelligence agency, not a warmaking agency. Although in Israel's short history they've done a lot of bad stuff, they were also responsible for such coups as bringing Adolf Eichmann to trial and securing peace with Jordan and Egypt. Hating arabs is hardly a prerequisite for being a good Mossad agent. I'd say having brains is.
And my aunt did have many arab and muslim friends when she was young, and still does. And she votes Meretz ;)
I wrote this comment mostly for non-israelis - I know you're Israeli. I just don't want the perspective of people reading these comments to be that Israeli govt folks hate arabs. Many do, but many also join the govt or mossad or army in order to promote harmony with our neighbors, not to provoke them. Today is a good day to remember Rabin, a "soldier for peace". That's what was on the bumper stickers and posters and demo signs when I was 11 and he was killed. I don't think it's so far out.

That's not to say that soldiers don't do it constantly. Of course, one would hope they're not stupid enough to put their law-breaking on facebook...
Giving your weapon to someone else, though, civvy or not... I'm 99.9% sure that that's a crime. If you served in the army in the past, then you're currently a civilian, and that's just as bad. I'm pretty sure the uniform is irrelevant here.
This is kinda like the idiots who put naked pics of themselves on facebook and then apply for a job as a school counselor. From now on, any time your cousins apply for a job, their potential employers will see pics of them playing with guns. #telaviv

So for the rest of basic training (3 months), all the troops in my roommate's unit weren't allowed to bring their guns home on weekends. I was so happy. No guns in the HereComesMyBaby house! #telaviv
