A Perfect Picture of the Occupation
The video clearly shows, once again, the truth about a great deal of the IDF’s operational activities: chasing children. And an army that fights children and chases them as they flee is an army that has lost its conscience.

But like a thousand witnesses, the pictures show that the soldier’s life was not in danger for a single second. In many previous cases the soldiers’ lives were not endangered, yet they still fired at stone-throwers. The power of the camera is stronger here than anything else.
The soldier should be commended for not firing, and his commander did well to tell him to leave the boy alone – that should have been obvious, but it has not been for a long time.
The video clearly shows, once again, the truth about a great deal of the IDF’s operational activities: chasing children. What should the soldier have done?
The images show him having no idea what to do. His commanders probably didn’t have an answer for the situation in which he found himself, and it’s doubtful if the senior IDF brass would know what the soldier should have done.
It’s hard to blame him. An army that fights children and chases them as they flee is an army that has lost its conscience. The only way to change the situation is to change the reality. There is no other way.
