What is your explanation?
Please explain this promotion within the IDF of war crimes?
I bet if these were ant-zionist t-shirts I would see a different respons here. This is why israel was voted the most hated country three years running.

I cried when I saw the pictures of the T shirts.
My only consolation (small consolation) is that the shirts were not produced by the army. The independent company refuses to disclose who ordered and paid for the printing. There is a full investigation going on in the units that had these shirts. Those soldiers are in deep doodoo.

It means it is an artificially constructed state. They tend to have a shelf-life of under 75 years,for example the Soviet Union,Czechoslovakia and most recently Yugoslavia.

This is a clever play of words by someone who hates Israel and wishes to express that in his openion Israel is illegitimate. Here is the play: "Eretz Israel" is Hebrew fir the Land of Israel. Word "ersatz" means low quolity fake replication of a real object. Since "Erzats" sounds closely as "Eretz" the person replaced one for another. In any case that is definitely the expression of unconditional hate. It implies that no matter what Israel is willing to do for peace it is viewed by its enimies as illegitimate entity. We Israelies would do well to understand that our enimies hate us no mater what we do.

The asker, unashamedly, likes to express his desire that the Jews should be pushed from Israel into the sea, and so he uses the word "ersatz."
There is no excuse for this sort of behavior, and it would not be permitted anywhere but on Yahoo Answers.
What needs to be done to protect the State of Israel, is for the Jewish People to strengthen its hold in Judea and Samaria by expanding the existing communities there, creating new ones, thereby raising the number of 300,000 Jews already living there to one million Jews.
