Most people connected the Israel Forces to the characters in the sitcom. The people of the internet saw this post as an opportunity to raise sensitive issues of violence, genocide, and war crimes that happen in Israel. Few netizens got creative with episode names that are possible in their view if really there was a friend based on Israel forces. Netizens even pointed out several Human Rights violations in the country. Here are some of them.
