A disgusting display of power.
What would have happened if the parent refused to wake up the children? What would have happened if the parent asked why their pictures were being taken? What would have happened if the parent told them to come back in the morning?

Why at night and at 1:30 AM..What’s the message?

Using the Arabs as an excuse to act like barbarians, certainly makes Arabs look better and better.

I get the message and it’s, there are no redeeming qualities to any of the IDF, and/or Israel.

@Poltergeist & David Goldman Esq..You’ve got to be kidding. Don’t use lame excuses and blame Israeli behavior on Arabs.
‘Two wrongs don’t make a right’ no matter how you look at it.
But then you all seem to know Arabs better then Arabs do. You’re all so expert on just about everything …
I guess Jews can’t rise above being Arabs.

Yo, Clueless

Here’s a newsflash. I wasn’t critisizing the boy on the floor. If you get a moment, check this out;

Israel has had to employ levels of violence that are commonplace in the Arab Word (see syria, egypt, black september, hama massacres, sunni-shiite violence, Darfur)…. rape, murder, pillage
is par for the course.
Now go on any call me a racist (tried and true method of shutting debate)

So in order for Israel to secure some semblance of normalcy they are forced to use the same iron first policies that Arabs take for granted. If anything, Israel is WAY too restrained in its use of force.

To the person who wrote “See the kid on the floor in his pajamas? Take a good look at him. You’ll be seeing him again. Except next time, he’ll be a teenager with a rock in his hand, or a kalachnikov, or wearing a suicide belt.”

There are no Palestinian “kids” because Israel has robbed them all of their precious childhoods using their “efficieny.” As long as the world chooses to remain indifferent as the Palestinian people are collectively brutalized and stripped of all their rights, they are certainly not the ones to be demonized. They are the Davids against the mighty Goliath, and you dare to complain?

RE: “A Palestinian is never safe – not even in his own home. He can never know what’s coming…” ~ Noam Sheizaf

ARTICLE: “Permanent Temporariness”, by Alastair Crooke, ‘London Review of Books’, 03/03/11
(excerpts)…It was [Ariel] Sharon who pioneered the philosophy of ‘maintained uncertainty’ that repeatedly extended and then limited the space in which Palestinians could operate by means of an unpredictable combination of changing and selectively enforced regulations, and the dissection of space by settlements, roads Palestinians were not allowed to use and continually shifting borders. All of this was intended to induce in the Palestinians a sense of permanent temporariness…
…It suits Israel to have a ‘state’ without borders so that it can keep negotiating about borders, and count on the resulting uncertainty to maintain acquiescence…

FROM WIKIPEDIA: Learned helplessness
Learned helplessness, as a technical term in animal psychology and related human psychology, means a condition of a human person or an animal in which it has learned to behave helplessly, even when the opportunity is restored for it to help itself by avoiding an unpleasant or harmful circumstance to which it has been subjected. Learned helplessness theory is the view that clinical depression and related mental illnesses may result from a perceived absence of control over the outcome of a situation.[1]…
…In the learned helplessness experiment an animal is repeatedly hurt by an adverse stimulus which it cannot escape.
Eventually the animal will stop trying to avoid the pain and behave as if it is utterly helpless to change the situation.
Finally, when opportunities to escape are presented, this learned helplessness prevents any action. The only coping mechanism the animal uses is to be stoical and put up with the discomfort, not expending energy getting worked up about the adverse stimulus…

BERL,
I am afraid you’re the one who missed the point. What is happening in the Arab world is utterly depraved and NOTHING of that nature has ever been done by the Jews. The reason the army has to conduct searches and raids like this is because they have to defend their population against the kind of violence that exists in the Arab world.
The point, however, is that foreign-sponsored “human rights” organizations have to go out of their way to find anything embarrassing about the Jews to please their European masters. Of course, they will systematically fail to put things in the proper context.

Oren shani — if one illuminates a subject with a flash attached to your camera, the shadows will not show in the image. Think for a second — the subject will hide the shadows from the camera’s sensor. This picture was clearly shot with a relatively weak flash.

POLTERGEIST,
you missed the point. What is happening in Syria&co. is really shameful, but is not a daily routine since 40 years.
Moreover, if something bad is happening somewhere doesn’t mean that we should ignore this.

Nice Photoshop work. This picture is fake. Fore one, the soldiers would never stand like this, pose to the camera, and the kid would not smile at the camera, signing a V like that, while the barrels of two guns pointed at him.

But the definite proof is this: You can see that the camera’s flash or some other light source is illuminating the wall behind the soldiers, so how come you don’t see their shadows?
