if it is depraved and you can imagine it, Israel is doing it. What a curse its existence is.

On these trips, sex between local (Jews) and visitors is, according to staffers, actively “encouraged.” Birthright organizers facilitate what they call “hormonal encounters” by employing good-looking IDF soldiers to accompany the groups wherever they go. These soldiers understand their role very well. Many groups do not stay in hotels, but together in Bedouin-style tents, “a setup conducive to first kisses,” one report notes. Many visitors report feeling pressured into fornication on what is commonly described as a free, ten-day “sex vacation.”

For the government, the utility of all this is clear. It has calculated that impressionable teens who lose their virginity in Israel are much more likely to develop a deeper, emotional connection to the State of Israel. Birthright alumni move to Israel in greater numbers than those who did not receive a free trip, and are 160% more likely to marry a Jewish spouse. This helps alleviate the country’s demographic problem, i.e., building a Jewish supremacist state in a region where they are still a minority. To that end, then, Birthright employs open-minded individuals whose services allow the job to be done.

Is Natalia Fadeev wearing her bikini top upside down?

This has been a thing for a while. Hers looks wonky, but when done right, it actually looks good.

Either way, all of this depraved and disgusting.

Whoring out their own soldiers for propaganda?

Does this also work in countries where recruitment is low like African/or any nations who want to create a coup or resistance?

Yes, I blocked a dozen or so on Facebook.

Yes, yes, I hate Facebook too. I give it 20 minutes a day for the benefit of family.
