Nikki Haley writes ‘Finish Them!’ on Israeli bomb bound for Gaza
I mean to be fair, there’s nothing you can write on a bomb that makes it better
“Hope this message finds you well”
“Tell your mother I said thank you for the birthday card”
“Save 10% at checkout when you enter the code FREEPALESTINE”
To Russia, With Love.
“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”
This old picture has the writing “Easter eggs for Hitler” on the bombs. I think the use case makes the biggest difference for whether writing a message is perceived as sinister. A bomb which is being sent to someone who has been confirmed to regularily attack civilian targets is not great.
That’s very funny.
I wonder what the earliest example is of someone writing messages on outbound projectile weapons, or if there are any examples of messages being received, in other words, like if a bomb with a message on it turn out to be a dud and landed in the general’s kitchen or something.
Probsbly some good material would come to you. You ever write jokes?
I don’t think people write on bombs to make it better, it’s to add insult to

Wasn’t she their rep in the UN Security Council?
I’m never going to be on the side of Hamas, but there’s no need to make a mockery of something that will surely involves civilian casualties. Shame on her.
Yeah, lots of people did similar things for Ukrainian bombs and shells. Even though they were much more likely to hit combatants, it still felt really weird to write memes on stuff that likely will kill someone (yes even a Russian war criminal). It just felt inhumane.
With bombs made possible by the US
Is this not clinical sociopathy?
We call it “Republicanism” these days.
How very turn the other cheek of her
That’s not what the Republican Jesus says
How very revealing. 😵💫
Notice how the manufacturer’s writing on the bomb is in Hebrew.
See, Israel has their own bombs to drop on Gaza. And when they do drop American bombs and Gaza, it’s the old shit that they already have, which they have to either use or decommission, before long.
The labeling on any kind of product doesn’t represent where it came from.
China makes all kinds of shtuff with English and a zillion other languages, and localizes them for export.
I’m sure American arms manufacturers do the same.
Okay? These particular shells are Israeli shells. They make tens of thousands of them in Israel.
I’ll leave that up to your expert opinion.
