McDonald’s Israel announced in October that it would be donating thousands of meals to members of the Israeli army and state security forces.
Now a photo posted by an Israeli soldier has emerged showing the fast food chain’s products in an Israeli tank in Gaza.
In the picture, a soldier is leaning over a McDonald’s bag with a rifle lying right next to it. Shells are stacked up around it.
“McDonald’s in the heart of al-Rimal, and oh, I hope the anti-Semites won’t see,” wrote Hanania Ben Shimon, the 23-year-old Israeli reservist who posted the photo on Facebook in December.
Al-Rimal, once an elegant and bustling neighborhood of Gaza City, has been reduced to ruins by Ben Shimon and his comrades.
Another picture Ben Shimon posted the month prior appears to show the same setting. This time the face of the soldier leaning over the McDonald’s bag is visible.
Ben Shimon captioned that picture, “And thanks to McDonald’s branch of Issa Hospital for fast delivery to Gaza, the courier deserves a raise in salary.”
It is unclear if this is meant to be a joke. There is no hospital of that name in Gaza or Israel, and fast food delivery would obviously not be possible to Gaza, unless it was part of an organized effort to pamper the soldiers as they carry out their gruesome task of destroying Gaza and murdering its inhabitants.
Ben Shimon, who lives in a colonial settlement in the occupied West Bank, returned from his deployment in Gaza several weeks ago. Last week he was injured when three Palestinians opened fire on cars near his home settlement of Maaleh Adumim, east of Jerusalem.
Ben Shimon is being treated as a hero for leaping out of his car and killing one of the Palestinians. Another was also killed, while the third was injured and taken captive by Israeli occupation forces.
October 27th 2020, Azerbaijan McDonalds pushing war propaganda during their war against Armenia (ripped from my IG story):
Employees “You have to not say anything about your politics or else you’ll lose your job”
Franchisees “Glory to the state, all hail death and destruction and swing by for a BigMac TM”
I don’t think cheeseburgers are kosher.
They probably get away with it because it isn’t really “cheese” as most people define it.
When I started typing, I thought that was a joke, but now I’m genuinely curious.
McDonald’s changes their menu for the region, so even if it was a cheeseburger the cheese would be kosher
Yeah, but to eat Kosher you can’t serve meat and cheese together. If you go to a Kosher deli in New York, for example, if you want cheese on your sandwich they’ll serve you the cheese on a separate plate. You have to put the cheese on yourself.
So, what’s on the burgers isn’t considered “cheese”, or it IS cheese, but served on the side, or McDonald’s just said “fuck it” and serves cheeseburgers that aren’t Kosher. My guess is #1. It isn’t technically “cheese”, but some sort of “processed cheese food” crap. They already do that with their milkshakes, which don’t actually contain any milk.
Is it all cheese & meat? I thought I just can’t come from the same animal, so you’d be able to eat beef with goat’s milk cheese, or any other cheese that doesn’t come from cows.
McDonald’s feeding fascist genocidal murderers for free while Palestinians starve.
