It’s not ā€œmilitary iconography,ā€ it’s a ā€œbring them homeā€ necklace worn in solidarity with the hostages. They are very commonly worn in Jewish communities throughout the world. Weird that you are posting on this subreddit and don’t recognize this necklace.

It’s something a ton of people wore for the hostages. It’s not ā€œmilitary iconography.ā€ The shirt is a little cringe but the bring them home necklace is fine and tons of people were wearing them after Oct 7.

I’m surprised that so many people aren’t familiar with the ā€œBring them Homeā€ necklaces.

As the others said, it's a necklace for the hostages. But what's wrong with military iconography? Jewish military strength is one of the blessings of our generation. We all know what happened to Jews during the centuries when they were not so blessed.

Having an army makes all the difference for Jews.

A dog tag makes you that uncomfortable? Wow, we've gotten soft.

That person hides their post history. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re not Jewish.

The Israeli military is the reason half of the Jews are alive today.
