What’s with the white outfits? Are they trying to appear pure and virginal, while disguising themselves?
Reminiscent of the white sheets and pointy hats of the KKK….
The IOF soldier looks pleased– almost deferential.

White dress shirts and dark pants (occasionally white pants) are the uniform Sabbath attire for settlers and other Modern Orthodox. The exposed tzitzit fringes are the hallmark of the ritually devout.
The headgear with eyeslits is an added touch.
I think “deferential” is right. Border Police are often Russians of uncertain Jewish origin and non-Jewish Druze. The overbearing condescension settlers show the military is amplified when dealing with the non-Jewish Border Police.
this drives me crazy. more evidence of settler/soldier cooperation .
