We don't know what took place,the boy was being scolded from the looks of things.hope he learned a lesson from it.

This was is light kick to the tussy (ass) and did no damage. Wow, how I despise B'Tselem and its ilk. They are famous for nothing but betraying their country. If anyone knows something else that a member of B'Tselem did then please post info.

Is this a staged movie or what?! Who would make a movie like this? The camera is obviously waiting for this to happen... to keep on filming during and after the 'incident' very quietly.... Not an Oscar winner...

Obviously damned tired of abuse and rocks hurled at them by the Pali kids on a daily basis. TS for you, lil Yusuf.

it seems to me, that the israeli media is working very hard to undermine the state. i have not seen a picture, or a big write up on the jeruslem man attacked by those four savages, almost killing him. what is the matter with you people?

Recording starts several minutes before the actual "incident" and is pointed to one area, like waiting for a rehearsed scene.

I felt bad for the boy who was used as a guinipig to throw stones at the soldiers. OH YEAH! They didn't show that! Did they? These soldiers have more heart than the Arabs. If it was the other way around, they would have killed our boy. I KNOW our soldiers!

BG is a bunch of losers who have an IQ average less than 70, and would have no future if it wasn't for magav. The kids in my highschool who were bullies and had serious violence issues ended up in Magav.

Let's get real here. This was a mild little kick. Sure, you don't kick children, but kids must realise that throwing rocks can lead to terrible injuries and even death. There are various forms of child abuse, i.e. emotional, physical and sexual. This incident does not constitute child abuse. Perspective and discernment is required.

I dont believe it. all too fishy.

We just should get the hell out of Hevron, so all this wouldnt happened.

A misbehaving child who won't get lost receives a harmless kick in the butt. Judging from what happened afterwards (he runs away), it looks to me like this worked perfectly. I'm sure Israel's detractors have preferred a truncheon to the head -- or worse -- for the PR value.

OK so you shouldn't kick kids, but talk about scraping the barrell to desperately find some incident to report Israel in a bad light. If that's the worst violent incident that B'Tselem found this week, we're being pretty well behaved overall. Keep it up IDF.

Reading some of the posted comments is interesting. People dismissing this as no big deal. If the situation had been reversed (Jewish child, Arab police) they would have been screaming for blood.

SO SAD THAT OUR SOLDIERS ARE TURNED INTO POLICING DUTIES, IF ISRAEL NEEDED POLICE IN THE W.B THEY SHOULD PUT POLICE MEN AND NOT DEFAME THE IDF

We don't know the whole story yet. My question is.....who was filming this, why were they filming this, etc.

B'Tselem is a treacherous organization that is run by palestinians and jews that hate Israel,why does this news paper give them the time of day.This sick organization should be banned.As all these incidents are, this one too was stage managed by B'Tselem.

A child kicked by soldiers because he dare to cross Jewish-only road. Hmm. I agree with Bishop Tutu, Mandela, Alice Walker, Carter, etc.

IDF soldiers and border policemen do not randomly kick children. Any IDF commander or military lawyer will tell you that It violates the IDF code of ethics. It violates international law. It violates human decency and human values. It is wrong. Period. End of Story. The officer involved should be investigated and brought to trial.The talkbacks which justify this behavior lack a basic moral consciousness.

GANTZ,EXPELL THEM. IS CLEARLY THAT THE CHILD DONT DO NOTHING. THESE STUPID SOLDIERS ARE MAKING BAD TO IDF. THEY SHOULD BE PATROLING TERRORISTS,NOT CHILDRENS.

That boy was sent on purpose to play to the trap that that camera was waiting. That was a lurking camera. Shame on B'Tselem!Shame on them!

(1)Kudos to the addled Jewish Israelis (aka B'tselem) for STALKING the IDF. If the target had been a woman instead of an Israeli soldier, criminal charges would have been filed but to target Tzahal, No Problem! (2) Kudos to YNet for the "signal boost." Too shameful!

These sick Palestinian parents & Leftists sent the kid out there to make trouble; it appears the kid grabbed the hat off one of the soldiers. They knew that the kid would likely get smacked for it, as many police officers might have done, yet they did not care about the kid! Proof the idiot with the camera was waiting around for a few minutes in hiding. How did he know that there would be an incident?

You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Do you have any idea how many Israeli children have been attacked by Arabs and those incidents get less attention than one Arab kid getting kicked in the ass by a Border Guard.
