Okay, maybe it’s not exactly a traditional holiday greeting, but the Israeli Defense Force tweeted this picture showing one of its members lighting Hanukkah candles.
He operates drones during the day, and lights #Hanukkah candles at night. #HappyHanukkah from the IDF! pic.twitter.com/epy3rbFBuZ

As you might expect it wasn’t well received.
@IDFSpokesperson That tweet says everything about religion you need to know

And that tweet says everything about atheists that you need to know. Actually it doesn’t. To say so would be bigotry.
@Liquid_atheist @IDFSpokesperson can't agree more. Judaism and Islam have lots in common.

Publicly beheading “infidels,” punishing rape victims, throwing acid in women’s faces, executing homosexuals, shooting girls who try to get an education, etc. They’re practically identical.
@IDFSpokesperson does he light a candle for every child he kills?

@IDFSpokesperson He kills babies, grandparents, invalids. Craves adolescents. Writes racial epithets by smearing feces. Lights a candle.

@dreamoforgonon @IDFSpokesperson this is basically an admission that Israel only cares about wooing Jewish base, and DGAF abt neone else

And Hamas was this close to not wanting to exterminate all the Jews.
