SOLDIER TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE IDF'S MORALITY

In their own words:

Let's say that this isn't true. Let's say that it's all propaganda put out to excuse the imagined crimes of a military occupation (albeit one that Israeli leaders have repeatedly tried to get out of...) But let's imagine that all of these quotes are lies.

There is still. a difference between the IDF and the enemies that it fights. Specifically, these are the values of Israel and the IDF. Maybe they don't live up to them - but this is their ideal, what they would like the world to think they're living up to. Can you imagine Hezbollah putting out a video where its soldiers emphasized their humanity - and the humanity of their enemies - over and over again? What about Syria, which has repeatedly gone out of its way to desecrate wounded and dead Jews?

    I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing but I sometimes wonder if people fighting against those radical followers of the Pedophile Prophet should remember that old saying, "No good deed goes unpunished'...

    The classic problem when ethical countries fight unethical forces: what's worse, to lose your humanity or lose your survival?

    Answer: they're both worse.
