Israeli Soldier Lip Syncs ‘Kill Everyone’ as Wartime Shitposting Surges

The discourse around the most recent round of fighting between Israel and Hamas was already toxic. Then, while Gaza was burning, an IDF soldier posted a video last week on TikTok lip syncing the quote: “What’s that? I should kill everyone and escape?”

The soldier, who has been featured on the IDF’s Tiktok page, was sharing a quote from Harley Quinn, the unhinged supervillianness from the 2016 film Suicide Squad, based on the DC comics. “Sorry, it’s the voices,” the quote continues, “Ahaha, I'm kidding! That's not what they really said.”  

Yael Deri, the TikToker in question, has posted other videos that drew backlash on social media. Earlier this month, she uploaded a now-deleted clip dancing and smiling to a patriotic Palestinian song, plastered with emojis of the Israeli flag.

“Now I’m not going to get into the fact that this song is obviously not meant for you,” one TikTok user said in a post responding to the clip. “But the fact that you’re smiling and dancing to this song right now when your people are killing kids, innocent kids, innocent mothers, fathers, and you have a smile on your face?”

An IDF spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast asking for confirmation about Deri’s position with the Israeli military. But a video on the IDF’s official TikTok account describes her in the caption as “a fighter from the crossing battalion ‘Ta’oz’ of the military police.”
