The Picture of a Bikini-Clad Israeli with an M-16 Is Making the Rounds Again — Here are the Theories About It

An M-16 is not something you would expect to see on a public beach — let alone strapped onto a bikini-wearing woman. But a photo depicting just this on a crowded Tel Aviv shoreline has gone viral if for nothing else than its unusual combination.
The photo began circulating on the Web all the way back in May and still continues to make its rounds. Gizmodo, Redditt and Haaretz picked up on the image early on, while the New York Daily News, the Daily Mail, Israel Insider and YNet News are a few examples of how the story of the unknown, bikini-clad and weapon-wielding woman continues to draw attention.
You can view the photo here.
The New York Daily News reports the photo was viewed 650,000 times in only one day. Headlines have included “Hot Chick With Gun Occupies Internet,“ ”Bad*** Chicks In Israel Don’t Go To the Beach Without Their Assault Rifles,“ and ”They really are dangerous curves: Heavily armed and bikini-clad female Israeli soldiers ‘mingle’ with beachgoers”.
Haaretz reported first seeing the image on Facebook with the caption “Only in Israel.” At the time of Haaretz’s coverage of the story, the photo had more than 500 “shares” and more than 1,500 “likes” on the social media site. Now, the photo has been shared nearly 800 times and has nearly 2,000 likes.
Allison Kaplan Sommer, who wrote the blog post on Haaretz ,said she is fascinated by the stir the photo has caused on the Internet, but acknowledges in a way it actually makes practical sense. Here’s some of what she wrote:
I’ve been quite fascinated by the fascination. Bikini pictures aren’t uncommon, and neither are pictures of gun. But put them together and you’ve got everyone’s attention. The combination of exposed female body and deadly weaponry must tap into some deep-seated male fantasy world. Even when fully clad, there seems to be a major Internet fetish for Israeli female soldiers. A quick Google search will prove me right. There may be other countries with women in the military – including the United States, but the consequences of Israel’s universal military service is that, when the entire female population goes to the army at age 18, each cohort is going to include a certain percentage of really hot women.
But still, a bikini and a gun?
To an Israeli, the photo makes perfectly practical sense. When soldiers take their weapon off military premises, they must guard it closely and keep it on their person, at all times. Having one’s weapon stolen is harshly punished with time in military prison a given. I’ve heard male soldiers on leave refer to their gun as their ‘wife,’ so constant is the companionship. We’re used to seeing guns in all kinds of places – propped up next to the guy sitting next to us in a coffeeshop, or in a university classroom, and of course, slung over the shoulders of women soldiers, including women soldiers.
Of course, they usually tend to be wearing their uniforms at the time.
Sommers also calls to mind the potential that the gun could have been photoshopped onto the woman in this image.
YNet News points out the photo has been reported on across the globe, including on Indian, Italian and Spanish websites.

Report Post »lketchum
Posted on July 17, 2012 at 5:24pmFirst off, it’s an M4 Carbine – a member of the M-16 rifle family.
Second, a great many soldiers in various stages of training and duty types carry and store their assigned primary weapons. At various stages of training and alert, Israeli soldiers and citizens (they have all forms of well trained and organized rapid response units in communities all over the country) are required to keep their primary weapons and designated equipment with them at all times.
There is nothing unusual about this at all, and the citizens are all as they should be: well trained and armed and behaving most responsibly. This is exactly how America is designed as well, and all forms of open and concealed, or mixed carry should be supported, perfectly legal, and as common as this young lady is. In my companies and on my property and in all my homes, this is exactly how we live. We love the sport; love to hunt, fish and trap and we love the U.S. and the Bill of Rights. The only thing we love more is our family, friends and above all, God, our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ!

You are partially correct, sort of in that it was split into two kingdoms for much of the time Judah and Israel. But, make no mistake it was Jewish. And the only time it wasn’t jewish was before they took the land form the Canaanites and after the Romans ethnically cleansed them and dispersed them. But, I guess you’re ok with that eh?
And apparently there were no Gentiles fighting in the allied forces in North Africa? I guess Arabs don’t still live in Israel?

The people that you claim the Israelites are killing are Arabs. What does that mean? They do not belong in the land in the first place. It was never theirs no matter who laid claim to it, but who cares right? And this idea that Israel has not been around or called Israel since 752 bc. Is really a joke and intellectually dishonest. The land has been called many things by many people but ever since Abraham stepped foot in it there has always been Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews living in it, always. The truth is that these so called palatines are Arabs, and the real Palestine’s are the Jewish people. So the name game is a joke, it was and is a Jewish nation, that is under attack , by people like you that lie, cheat, steel, and make claims that are based in hateful ideas.

Did you even bother to read the article posted this morning about a Palestinian accused of selling land to Israelis (which is illegal under the PA) “fell” from a three story high window at a police station?

Every time a video shows up showing Arabs themselves saying they intend to wipe Israel out you, despite having no knowledge of Arabic, make baseless accusations arguing that the translators can’t be trusted.

This site has more than conservatives. It also purports to attracts libertarians. I’m a libertarian. I enjoy pictures of beautiful women bearing arms in bikinis. If you say I shouldn’t, then I’ll kindly tell you to mind your own business.

Report Post »May I gently point out a common error which you put forth;
it is certainly NOT the book of Revelations- it is purely Revelation-
a huge theological difference missed by most, and a careless detail which affects most other things as well. This small error may affect your judgement on this story as well.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 1:25pmI was a conservative when Glenneth was running around stoned with a bag of weed in his purse and a pony tail flapping around behin his empty skull. I resent the way Glenn has been using the conservative cause for the past 10 years to advance his career and fatten his bank account, and at the same time making conservatives look like messianc fear mongering nut jobs. That being said, he has toned down the end times nuttiness lately and has at least started talking about how crucial it is that Obama is defeated (and it is crucial.)
If some of you gullible goobers can’t handle any criticism of this bogus website and your messiah Glenneth, tough luck. You’ll never stop me. I’m all over the internet telling the truth about ALL of the liars that are destroying this once great nation, and my efforts are gaining steam every day. Join me or get the hell out of my way.

Report Post »Perhaps he has seen the light. I too was once young and for no identifiable reason somewhat liberal, however, if you ask anyone who has talked to me in past 30 years they would disavow that. People change and SOME come to the correct and logical mindset. It is not as if we should shun ANY one that arrives at our position, we should instead embrace them and cultivate MORE converts. You stand on your own as the “original conservative” good for you. Beck however, has a much larger audience has has brought more people over to the “light side” than you could every imagine. Be a hater, you are exactly the “conservative” that the liberals point to as “racist, xenophobic…. blah blah blah ad nauseam. You don’t have a patent.

Posted on July 17, 2012 at 1:45pmLook at the photo closer, the magazine is either taped or held on to the forearm with couple of rubber bands nor electrical tape. Using Google you will find many photos of young Israeli men and women carry rifles in such a manner. I have see one photo of 5 or 6 Israeli women posing together in flip flops wearing bathrobes with towels thrown over the shoulders holding their M16s with mags attached to the rifle forearm.

He said he would be sitting around with his buddies, and they would be talking about the handguns they had bought their wives for self-protection. They would say, “Yeah, my wife hit the target four times the other day, and reloaded all by herself.” Then Tim would say, “Yeah, well my wife can dismantle, clean, oil, and reassemble an M16 in the dark! Top that!”
