Over 2,000 Britons [and over 3,000 Germans] served for Israel amid Gaza genocide (Declassified UK, 2026-02-11)

———

>> The information was obtained … via a Freedom of Information request issued to the IDF by lawyer Elad Man from the NGO Hatzlacha.

>> The data outlines the number of people with dual and multiple nationalities who were IDF service members as of March 2025.

>> The largest cohorts come from the US, Russia, Ukraine, France, and Germany. [see attachment]

>> “The UK has clear duties to prevent genocide and avoid assisting unlawful military action.

>> “Where dual nationals have served in units implicated in atrocities, the authorities must investigate promptly and, where the evidence meets the threshold, pursue arrest and prosecution like any other serious crime”.

@adachika192 There's a number I've been waiting to see! Over a thousand people from fought for Israel.

Leave the country to fight for the Islamic State and you're not welcomed back. But leave to fight for the Jewish state... Shrugs. It shouldn't be treated differently.

Just got my mind slightly blown. Some stupid meme asking if anyone remembers windows on the right in a Soviet/Russian classroom. And it's true, all the classrooms I'd ever been in had windows on the left. Apparently, it's regulated that way so light falls from the left for righties' writing?

@kevinrothrock Hmm... On the right in grade 1, behind me in the new school from 2 to 6 (except on the left in grade 4), left at the next school for grades 7 and 8, put in portables for grade 9 with windows behind, a different school in grade 10 with windows behind, a different school for 11 and 12 with windows on left or behind. Can't ever recall a window on the right!
