Operation Protective Edge gets meme treatment

Benji Lovitt, Times of Israel blogger and comedian, ribs the IDF’s choice of English name for its Gaza operation.

The op’s original Hebrew name is Tzuk Eitan, which can literally be translated as “firm cliff,” but the army went with a non-literal translation, opting for “Protective Edge” for its English name.

Because you can't overvalue safety.
