Something Wrong With The IDF
Check this story and tell me what the f**k is going on with the Israeli Defense Force these days?!
Quotes:
If not, and I assume it isn’t, then to read of an officer “pumping” bullets into a 13-year-old girl makes me want to puke. Or worse.
And forcing some guy to play his violin, though not totally evil, is, nonetheless, an indication of a very dangerous arrogance. I seem to remember another group of bastards ordering people to play their instruments while being detained by military forces.
And yes, I really did say that.
How distressingly unprofessional and uncivilized. Somebody needs to get a grip on these guys. The single most important and relevant advantage that the Israelis have had on their side is the moral high ground. Are they now abandoning that?
Like with our own recent Iraqi prison scandal, the response of the people of Israel will be the most telling aspect of this. What will they do? How will they punish these people?

Quotes:
Of all the revelations that have rocked the Israeli army over the past week, perhaps none disturbed the public so much as the video footage of soldiers forcing a Palestinian man to play his violin.And...
The incident was not as shocking as the recording of an Israeli officer pumping the body of a 13-year-old girl full of bullets and then saying he would have shot her even if she had been three years old.And...
Nor was it as nauseating as the pictures in an Israeli newspaper of ultra-orthodox soldiers mocking Palestinian corpses by impaling a man's head on a pole and sticking a cigarette in his mouth.WHAT IS THIS?!!! I’ve been a long-time sympathizer with the struggle being faced by the IDF, and, though occasionally critical, have been generally supportive of them. Is this story a misrepresentation?
