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?
