the hell does "May their memories forever be blessings" mean?
the dead don't have memories.
is this a language thing or like an idiot trying to sound poetic thing?
By “memories” they mean “cum”
It's a Jewish thing that's said instead of rest in peace.

I'm surprised people didn't know this already, my impression was that this is a pretty well-known phrase.
what I don't know could just about squeeze into the Grand Canyon.
Probably supposed to mean 'may the memories their families have of them be cherished as blessings'
But nahhhhhhhhhhhh
The memory of a bunch of fascists having been denazified is a blessing indeed.
It’s a translation from a traditional Jewish (Hebrew) saying that is the most common thing to say when referring to someone who is deceased. You might also refer to a deceased person as “of blessed memory.”
Basically means that their families cherish the memories they have of the dead.
BTW I get the desire to dismiss the value IDF members have or ever had, but non-Zionist Jews also use this phrase, so it's worth understanding what it means.
It's a common honorific for the dead in Judaism (translated from "zichrona livricha"). I don't know Hebrew grammar but I'm assuming it's an objective genitive, more "may our the memory of them be a blessing." In which case it certainly doesn't apply here.
