Israeli military resorts to trolling to berate Gaza protesters … gets trolled itself
Published time: 29 Mar, 2019 21:05
The IDF took to Twitter to jokingly explain why Palestinian “riots” in Gaza are not “protests” and justify the military response to it. The trolling session didn’t go so well, however, and the IDF got a taste of its own medicine.
The bizarre thread was posted on the IDF Twitter account on Friday, describing in tongue-in-cheek fashion why Palestinian protests shouldn’t be described as“peaceful” and perceived as “violent riots” instead. Some tweets were tech-savvy.
Calling a violent riot a “peaceful protest” is like calling @Tinder a place to make friends...
It just isn’t.#StopHamas

Other were generally funny.
And at least one was borderline creepy.
Saying a violent riot is a “peaceful protest” is like saying @shakira’s hips lie…
They just don’t.#StopHamas

The thread was met with quite a mixed reaction by the twitterati, as many flocked to the IDF page to show that two can play that game. The replies mimicked the IDF's style, while berating the activities of the Israeli military instead.
Using an F-16 for a surgical strike is like using a sledgehammer for a thumb tack ... you just don't.
Using live ammunition against fire bombs and stones is like hanging your child for being impolite .. you just don't.#StopIDF

Some drew not the most flattering comparisons.
Shooting children living under an evil occupation and calling for freedom is like what the Nazis did to Jews in WW2...
You just don’t.

And criticized the poor taste of the IDF trolling spree.
Using fun pop culture references to address what’s happening in Gaza is like acting like this isn’t real life.

Other users, however, showed support towards the Israeli military, while using the very same tweeting style.
Calling islam “the most peaceful religion in the world is like saying 99% of terrorists didn’t had any religion! And only 1% had.
