#proud idf alumna

Throwback to a younger me in tzahal.

I had no idea what was ahead of me in terms of wearing this uniform and serving my country. Endlessly proud and grateful for our army - today and everyday 🦊💜

What’s been really crazy to me during this whole thing is to watch people that clearly have no knowledge of the IDF and how strict our ethics are when it comes to conduct comment as if Of Course This Was Israel. There is a belief by some Israelis that we treat soldiers that violate codes of conduct worse than we treat terrorists. We take misconduct so seriously. We are trained to avoid civilian casualty at every possible cost. *If* this was somehow caused by the IDF, the IDF will take responsibility and the issue will be addressed. Soldiers and their commanders will be held accountable. Training will occur as a result, in hopes of it never happening again.

Now we had an incident at Shereen’s funeral that displayed Israeli police acting in a less than favorable way. All I’m seeing are Israelis decrying the behavior. Even though we could get into what caused that to happen which - as usual - is not a black and white issue.

What do we hear from P*lestinians when an Israeli gets an axe to their heads in front of their children? Silence or celebration.

Israel is not perfect because no country is perfect. But the way this has been spun to once again vilify Israel is absolutely disgusting. This is blood libel.

this "idf chick" is the coolest, I said what I said.

Much love🤍🫡

Thank you!! 🥰🤍

There are for sure worse things to be known for!

That’s the funny part. To them it’s an insult and to me it’s one of the things I’m most proud of.

They grow up so fast 🥹

Facebook reminded me what I was doing 12 (TWELVE!!!) years ago 😅

Guys I am so old

My response to all of this is “no, we’re just hot” BECAUSE ISRAELI WOMEN ARE DIVERSE AND BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG AS HELL.

But also this narrative that the IDF is using female soldiers to increase support is laughable. The female IDF soldiers that are considered to be more conventionally beautiful are naturally going to get more views just like a more conventionally beautiful influencer peddling sleep vitamins is going to get more views. IDF conscription is mandatory. Almost every young person in Israel serves. We’re just normal people with tiktoks and social media presence who just so happen to be serving our country. Stop trying to make something what it’s not. You look stupid.

✊🏼🇮🇱💙

Are idf girls being used as honey traps by israel?

No, and the very suggestion only exists because of the lens of suspicion and mysticism through which some outsiders view Israel. Next they will accuse Israelis of using blood magic to fly in giant metal birds that don't flap their wings.

Jewish women were beautiful long before social media existed!

I have a lot of people reach out to me on here asking about making Aliyah. I am not an expert - I was born with my citizenship. What I can say is this:

The ability to make aliyah is granted by Hashem but it is secured by the IDF. Olim have a place to go because of the sacrifices made by the men and women that serve in our armed forces. Israel would fail to exist without the IDF. We owe them everything. So please remember that when contemplating whether or not to make Israel your home. Chayalim have died for your ability to live freely in your homeland.

🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

zionism is just manifest destiny. nobody deserves to live in an open air prison no matter what hamas has done. please rethink your worldview. israel is a beautiful country but palestine could be too if it wasn't under constant occupation by the IDF. it is not israelis vs palestinians but IDF vs palestinians

“Please rethink your worldview”

BRB guys, off to stop being Israeli.

Yalla BYE ✌🏼

[laineystein]

Yalla BYE 🇮🇱

I’ll say it again for those of you still not listening: Never Again is Now.

[laineystein]

Had the best morning dropping off care packages and food to some of our Givati chayalim. What an honor - my heart is so full! Thank you, Hashem!

🦊💜🌵

[laineystein]

It has been 73 years since the IDF was created. The recent rise in antisemitism is proof enough:

Never Again is now.

[laineystein]

Enjoy this photo from my IDF days of me at the pool in a bikini with my gun on my hip. DIE MAD ABOUT IT.

Goodnight to all the antisemites 💙

“Israel doesn’t exist because of the Holocaust. But the Holocaust wouldn’t have happened if Israel existed.” 🇮🇱

Never again.

And that’s how it’s done.

[laineystein]

It’s a good day to piss off an antisemite 🇮🇱✊🏼
