"Of course [delete many] [insert] most Israeli soldiers do their best to behave as well as they can in the circumstances in which they find themselves."
A small group of disaffected soldiers, cynically manipulated by anti-Israel propagandists are encouraged to come up with skewered reports of what happens in the IDf - which is then proclaimed as "official" IDF policy. Instead of complaining through the proper channels where they know for a fact that every claim of malfeasance is investigated and if found proved dealt with rigorously even up to the very top of the chain of command they put it on tape to cause maximum damage this is because the propagandists know a lie is half way round the world before truth has got its boots on and the bigger the lie the more it is believed.
I would like to see these troops confront their commanding officers in an open forum with their stories and provide evidence for what they say. Sorry but I choose to believe what my son and his friends tell me what happens over some blogger who repeatedly puts up negative blogs about Israel and when confronted by the truth emits a yawn because he is obviously intellectually bankrupt and when confronted by the truth has nowhere to hide except in feigned boredom.
The numbers of these so-called testimonies are minuscule when compared to the number of soldiers serving in the army at any one time. So if you do want to know the truth then I suggest you go to
and show Otiose the door!
