Direct link to the video he’s reacting to
TL;DW: During some unspecified conflict, Hila had some kind of a desk job that she commuted to daily and found boring, and was thinking of quitting. She applied for a change of job (apparently you don’t get to choose what kind of job?) and was placed at a base further away where she’d spend the week there and have the weekend off, which she found to be “more of an adventure” and “more rewarding”. She was secretary for some high-ranked military official leading a brigade that controlled Ramallah. On her mission to the “terrorist city” (Ethan’s words, which Hila doesn’t blink an eye at), she tagged along on one of her brigades nightly “raid[s] to Ramallah to arrest terrorists.” She rode in an armored “Jeep”, which she says was fired upon when they entered the city, something she found “interesting.” She saw soldiers going into people’s houses, tearing apart all their shit to find contraband, and then arresting them (she actually got out of the car once to witness this). Ethan asks her if she found it “horrifying”, to which she replies it was “strange” and “surreal.”
Just shows how completely secure Israelis feel in their domination of the occupied territories that a desk jockey treats going to terrorize some Palestinians like a field trip.
Wanna point out that Ethan, after learning that they’d arrested a “terrorist”, asked her if they “put it in the same jeep than she was in”

Idgaf about h3h3 or badempanada so this isn’t normally the kind of thing I’d watch, but I had some time to kill at work here and that shit was way more disgusting than I expected
These fuckers are so much dumber and more evil than I could have imagined
God I remember being a teenager and watching a little h3h3 from time to time, they never were a favorite but they were popular and decently entertaining. I was so barely aware of Palestine that I just wouldn’t have put the pieces together that Ethan and Hila weren’t a simple international couple — something I considered sweet — but that Hila was rather a damned war criminal participating in 19th century settler-colonialism in the 21st century.
Every day I feel more and more revolted by all the things I didn’t notice or didn’t pay attention to back then, and I feel more and more disappointed in the naïveté I had about so-called “Israelis” for so long.
She fucking knows, dude. She knows this shit was fucked, but also it sells well to the American hogs to tell them you’re IOF so they’re going for it. My buddy Hans let me into the camps for an “adventure “type energy. Ghouls
Whole H3H3 channel was a zionist op confirmed
man why tf are people still watching these clowns anyway? i quit paying attention to h3h3 back when they stopped making actual videos. that must’ve been like over 5 or 6 years ago at this point. they just made a podcast instead.
and it’s not a new observation but these people made a shitload of money attacking progressives, feminists, minorities etc, cultivated an audience doing that, then said “oops nvm we’re progressive now” and lots of people just like, accepted it? i used to think their content was problematic and i didn’t agree with the overall framing but i thought it was still funny and entertaining. now it’s just like, what’s the point? why follow these people who have SHOWN us they have no type of integrity, no type of actual intelligence or reason to be speaking on political issues, and on top of that they don’t even make real videos anymore?
This is exactly the question on my mind. I have no idea what their appeal is, or why they still have an audience. On top of being boring, they’ve also just shown their whole ass to the world in that they’re moralless ghouls.
Whatever, she is a complete loser, just like her husband, who looks like a divorced dad.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect someone to be as brave as the young woman running at Taylor Swift fan Twitter account.
I don’t know about you, but if a fascist government demanded I partake in ethnic cleansing, I would simply refuse.

Are you guys paied shills or what? Do you genuinely think she should have jumped off a bridge instead of being conscripted?
You can just not support the genocidal occupation. Rather than helping them, you can leave, you can do prison instead, or you can more actively oppose them through extralegal means.
And you don’t need to sympathize with ethnic supremacist oppressors.
Ethan and Hila have been super supportive of the plight of Palestinians
Bullshit.
and constantly speak out against isreal…
They have been defending Israel, in fact, and becoming more openly Zionist.
Did you miss the part where they call Ramallah a terrorist city? Do you know how Israeli ethnic supremacists talk about Palestinians?
you could only get this severely misinformed by shills and racists so stop listening to whoever told you this shit
You can watch their own video where they say everything criticized in this one. The sourcing is not the mystery you’re treating it as. Go become informed. No investigation, no right to speak.
Yes I’m paid by Soros, China, and your dad (but only on weekends)
Yes she should have fought against being conscripted. The proper response to a draft letter from the IDF is defecting to Hezbollah.

fuck Israel and fuck your favorite internet podcast dopes. I do not care.

Nobody was forcing her to join the genocide force, but even then, it was purely her initiative to join at least one raid that I’m aware of.
She is a very enthusiastic perpetrator of a genocide.
Ethan and Hila have been super supportive of the plight of Palestinians and constantly speak out against isreal…
Yeah, they are very supportive of continuing and worsening said plight.
you could only get this severely misinformed by shills and racists
Notably, you are shilling for racists, at least one of whom has personally and enthusiastically taken part in a genocide.
You can watch Ethan and Hila’s video directly without the commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytOl5hbTrCY
In her own words, she wasn’t merely a disinterested conscript. She took the initiative to directly involve herself with the occupation and oppression of the West Bank.

I mean yes that would have been preferable to what she actually did, but this is such dishonest framing since she could have literally just not done it. No bridges needed.

IDK what you said since it’s not in the modlog for some reason so I’m gonna assume it was one of two things
1
how dare you say fascist soldiers would be better off dead
easily
2
but she had no choice!
The IDF is not going around shoving guns in people’s faces and saying “get in the van, we’re going to do genocide” it’s a very mundane process and you can just say no. You’ll spend some time in jail (time which as far as I’m aware is measured in months, not years) and then you’re good to go. And that’s if you can’t come up with a legit excuse or fabricate some reason that the IDF will accept that you can’t join the military
Furthermore, in her own words as others have pointed out, she had options to get out. She planned to get out if the randomly assigned job she requested to be moved to wasn’t more exciting than the desk job she started with.
Fortunately for her, the job she requested was in fact more exciting, and she got to spend time literally occupying what she called a “terrorist city” and working directly for the top officer in charge of the military base there. But even that wasn’t exciting enough for her, so she broke the rules at least once to go attend a raid on this “terrorist city” and personally participate in breaking into random people’s homes, brutalizing them, stealing their belongings, and kidnapping them. All straight from her own mouth. She did this voluntarily against the orders given to her by the IDF I will remind you. Brutalizing Palestinians was a fun and exciting extralegal activity for her. According to her herself.
She forfeited any right to sympathy when she joined the IDF and she forfeited any right to being viewed as a human through her actions thereafter. It is a shame that no one shot her in the head while she was raiding innocent people’s homes FOR FUN
I hope those who resist the nazis you cape for get to put you on pikes, you settler fuck.

I love how that’s the bit you take offense at; what a self-report
Zionism is a settler-colonial ideology. If you live in the west, there is a more-than-50% chance you live in a nation that espouses settler-colonial ideology; and a 100% chance you live somewhere that has materially benefited from settler-colonialism. As for the streamers you’re running defense for, Hila served an ideology of genocidal settlerdom, and Ethan is a good little collaborator at her jackboots.
Ergo.
EDIT: This peckerwood is really in my DMs right now whatabout-ing his little cracker-assed heart out tryna do anything to scrub the stink of being a settler off 'em-- eve to the point of trying to scapegoat China of all people. Really had the nerve to “yeah but watabout China??? What they did to Tibet was settling, wasn’t it!!!” Langley’s not sending their best, ladies and gentlemen.

slander /slăn′dər/
noun
-
Oral communication of false and malicious statements that damage the reputation of another.
-
A false and malicious statement or report about someone.
-
A false tale or report maliciously uttered, tending to injure the reputation of another; the malicious utterance of defamatory reports; the dissemination of malicious tales or suggestions to the injury of another.
If you’re Amerikan, then you live in the bowels of the single most brutal settler-colonial entity to exist in the modern era. “Settling” is not a once-and-done action; it is a constant state as long as you are on settled land. Explain to me how you think that’s slander.
Better yet, https://readsettlers.org and get out of my inbox lmao

You can literally just watch the video “Hila From H3H3 Discusses Her Time In the Israeli Military” on the H3 Podcast Highlights channel. The video linked above is a reaction to it. Hila literally says in the video that she could’ve gotten out of the military.
Link to the original video: https://youtu.be/ytOl5hbTrCY
2:15 — Hila says, “And if I don’t like the second one [referring to changing her job in the IDF], then I’ll just find a way to get out of the army.” (emphasis mine)
You can watch the video yourself to confirm that this is what she says, and that this is on the verified, official H3 Podcast Highlights channel.
So this is straight from the horse’s mouth, as it were: she wouldn’t need to jump off a bridge, she in fact knew at the time that she could’ve found a way out of military service if she wanted to, she knew this was an opportunity but she simply did not take it. She just says this outright in the video, on the official channel, publicly for all the world to see for nearly seven years now since that video was published.
Now speaking as someone from a country that also practices conscription, I hold people to the same standards regardless of whether they’re from Scandinavia or the Levant: if you cannot find a way out of mandatory military service, and you risk imprisonment for refusing service, then do your time. Having moral principles means being willing to make sacrifices.
