Why mainstream media embraces Jewish Americans who enlist in the IDF as "heroes?"

The mainstream media and US public officials embrace US-born Jews who enlist in the IDF as "heroes" and "lone soldiers," .

Whereas their Muslim counterparts who plan on and/or join Hezbollah or Hamas to defend their native countries against the Israeli invading army are labeled as "terrorists" or charged with "providing material support to a designated terrorist organization." A charge that carries a prison sentence of up to 20 years.

A lone soldier is someone who does not have support in Israel, either because they do not have immediate family in Israel or are estranged from their families because they enlisted in the IDF against their wishes. I should add that Americans who went to Ukraine to fight the Russian invading army are treated the same by the mainstream media (MSM), who usually portray them as heroes. Make this make sense!

The four people mentioned below were all US-born Jewish Americans who chose to enlist in the IDF instead of the US armed forces.

1. Mike Levin was killed in Lebanon during the 2006 Israeli war in Lebanon.
2. Max Steinberg was killed in 2014 during the Israeli war in Gaza.
3. Elan Ganeles was killed in February 2023 near the city of Jericho in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
4. Edan Alexander, a former Israeli-American POW, was captured on October 7, 2023. He was armed and in uniform.

"Lone Soldier" is a sugarcoated term for mercenaries. I should add here that the families of those killed soldiers have managed to sue the Palestinian Authority and Iran and were able to collect hefty compensation for the loss of their loved ones from the frozen Iranian assets in US banks.

Spread their shame!
