Israel,s most moral army.

Big brave warriors beating children.

Making friends and influencing people.

And Your god commands you to carry out such actions.

And still you ask, “Why do they hate us”.

You are hillarious Annie.
Assault, we conveniently do not see on tape just the “aftermath”.

What is the context of this?

It is clear that they were embarrassed. At 0:18, the front soldier tells them other soldiers to stop when a camera approaches.

However, , even though the torture is wrong, was the boy innocent? Was he throwing stones?

This does not look good for the IDF.

But a full report carries the context.

It’s amazing that you will publish something as patently bogus as this and then have the unmitigated nerve to reflexively cry “hasbara” in response to every story from an Israeli source.

Where is the footage from when the kid was “abused”? The person with the camera was obviously there in hopes of capturing video that showed the soldiers in a negative light? Why is everything before the child clutching his (uninjured) ear deleted?

I’m unable to view the video here at work, but I’m curious: Do the tough, brave, child-beating soldiers look like – or think they look like – this guy?
