16 votes less for Bibi


The photo is taken near the Gaza border, the text created by the 16 (my count, could be wrong) reservists says (in Hebrew): "Bibi loser".

And six of them paratroopers, if my old eyes don't deceive.

I believe you are right at that. Six.

The second word looks like "luzer" lamed-vov-zayin-reish Isn't that English? Or is it English-derived Modern Hebrew slang? My Hebrew vocabulary is all from learning Mishnayos and things like that.

Loser, pronounced like "loozer" is part of Yiddish slang for lots of years, certainly before I was born. Modern Hebrew adopted it, I believe, quite some time ago. I am not sure (but it definitely could be) that it comes from English initially, but anyway it happened long time ago...
