Israeli soldiers enjoy Ramadan Iftar, mocks starving Palestinians

Israeli soldiers were seen sitting in an Arabic-style room with cushioned ground seating and a couple of Mediterranean dishes such as stuffed grape leaves, rice, and more. Additionally, one soldier wished Muslims around the world a "Ramadan Kareem" as she referred to them as "Friends". This was all said in Arabic but doesn't come as a surprise as many Israelis learn Arabic. 

Moreover, one of the soldiers was seen pouring coffee for his colleagues in what seemed to be an Arabic-inspired jug. 

She then added, "May God bless your souls, from your blind hate for my country, Israel" as she pointed towards the Israeli flag on her military uniform. The soldiers were seen in their uniforms as they held their weapons.

The video caused quite a stir online as users took to the comment section to convert their feelings about the matter, here's what they had to say: 

"Look, they even steal our culture and food".

"Disgusting". 

"The worst people in the world." 

"Is she having children's blood for Iftar?"

"This is just disgraceful. Gluttony is one of the cardinal sins of mankind," and many more which can be found in the comments section of the post embedded above.
