re: #14 Charles

The anti-Israel leftists are lining up their talking points on the Reuters photos now — they’re claiming the knife in the first photo is an Israeli commando knife, which is supposed to prove … something, I’m not sure what.

But the Israeli commando knife has a very pronounced hilt.

And the knife in that first photo has no hilt at all.

I have found no pictures of serrated IDF commando knives; and I have looked.
Further, the use of serrated bayonets by the Nazis was a matter of some controversy in WWII, so I doubt the IDF would have serrations on their commando weapons. But serrations are good for divers’ knives.
