31. Arabs Have No Sense of Humor
RickD ,   USA   (07.07.10)
Every conversation with an Arab will contain an explanation of how the actions of other humiliate them. It was a joke. Deal wid it.

34. Israeli Children
Noa   (07.07.10)
These soldiers are the typical Israeli children, and if you would only let them, they would be dancing instead of fighting. Make fun, not war!

And to the Palestinians - there are armies in the world which would march there and about and be dangerous... These soldiers could be your friends and business partners. Stop the hatred and incitement and make a better world for everybody, please!

Children love to dance. Adults when they feel pure, innocent and free also love to dance. Dancing is a form of stress release. Whether it is the structured forms of the waltz, dervish, swing or ballroom to the unstructured forms of techno and trance it is a divine blessing. Only the stiffest and most restrictive of cultures abhors dancing. It doesn't matter if this was a set up. It is refreshing to see. The IDF should not investigate them. The young soldiers were probably very aware of the surrounding dangers. It was only a minute out of their day. Some light must be injected into grave situations at times. Switching the dynamic acts as a catalyst to other potentialities. King David liked to dance didn't he ? Of course he knew there was a time to dance and a time to make war. I would like to see much more dancing in the Holy Land. I’m sure the Arabs like to boogie as well. P.S. The light must really be shining in the Holy Land at the moment for sunrise to be so early...
38. chill
arthur glatman ,   United States   (07.10.10)
These kids showed a human face. Isn't that what Brit and US troops are suppposed to do in iraq and afghanistan? Put away the microscope If you want something to complain about how about hamas pa etc marches calling for "death to the Jews"
39. DAMCING SOLDIERS
daliot rachel ,   Israel-PARDESS-hANNA   (07.10.10)
Those soldiers are still kids and I think that they were great dancing....i know that when they will have to react to danger they will be great. All my love goes to them and let them continue dancing and not having to shoot!!!
40. Dancing Soldiers -- Beautiful Young People
Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.10.10)
I am so proud of them! Brave, fun, humane! Whoever found this objectionable should discuss it with her psychiatrist.
41. I love this!
Claudia ,   Tampa FL, USA   (07.11.10)
And it reminded me of all the sweet, helpful Israeli soldiers, young men and women alike that I encountered in Israel recently. I saw them dancing at the Kotel too, and praying and defending their country. Bravo! This Christian loves them!
42. soldiers dance
Lauren ,   Israel   (07.11.10)
These are our sons. This is what , in other places, in " normal " places, young people do - enjoy the company of their friends, experience joy, are carefree. All of our soldiers deserve as many moments of happiness and normalcy as possible. I wish them and the residents of Hebron ,safety , music and peace. Whenever, wherever, it's possible,
43. 23. ur adorable and have our complete support :)
