A little Yiddish translation help please

[1srelluc]

I acquired a Israeli Civil Guard M1 Carbine and was wondering what was written on the spare mag pouch.

 

[rightwinger]

It says “US”

That is short for United States

I believe it's a reference to this verse:

"Then those who revered G‑d spoke with one another, and G‑d hearkened and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who revered the G‑d and who esteemed His name." (Avot 3:2)

It says "**** with the Hebrew, you get the Hammer 23 times."

It seems when I looked up Avot 3:2 most rabbis say it has to do with respecting the government and laws.

We're going to have to start printing stuff like that on our military equipment.

That would make sense coming from a civil defense soldier, yes?

In Yiddish it translates to: Trump is a Feygele

I guess but the civil guard took on many forms, from tour guides to teachers escorting children on field trips.

It's Hebrew you ******* anti-semitic dipshit. Yiddish is written with the English alphabet.

Actually, no. Yiddish is written using the Hebrew alphabet.

I thought that was the case but I know so little in that regard I let it go.....It's a bit confusing....Hell, it's very confusing.

Yiddish is written with the English alphabet.

In fact, Yiddish is most commonly written using a modified version of the Hebrew Alphabet.

Non-Jews are most familiar with English transliterations of Yiddish.

Not confusing ... Yiddish is a separate language from Hebrew.

The guy's name was "Yaniv", a popular boy's name whose meaning is "he will prosper", etc. Not sure about the "2.3."; It could also be a letter "ts" which might be the first initial of his last name. The M-1 carbine was toted around by high-schoolers with a police escort on reserve duty in most Israeli cities through the 1980s or so.
