More lies from Yediot.

This report is NOT what it represents. It is a biased report on behalf of those who seek to undermine the IDF and Israel. The report wants to indicate that this only takes place because of so called "occupation", they are not interested in any other agenda. When we begin to fathom that Judea and Samaria is OUR land and we "allow" other minorities to remain and their behaviour towards us and Law and Order we have to REACT. I dont like that kids are abused, however when they have a rock in their hand with hatred in their eyes for Jews then they are no longer a kid but an enemy that has to be dealt with. Period. Israel is by far the most humane army and most certainly in the whole middle east, no comparison.

This article is irresponsible journalism--unattributed, anonymous comments culled from an organization that has an obvious anti-IDF agenda. Find a better source for your articles.

'Why do you think they are throwing stones or rocks at you in the west bank?? Is it because your Jews?? NO! The answer is simple...OCCUPATION.' And why did they slaughter Jews in Hebron in 1936? Because they were OCCUPIERS?? Or because they were JEWS?

A brick thrown by a 12 year old can kill exactly as one thrown by an adult. no difference.. as a victim of these rock throwers, I KNOW. ITS UP TO THE FAMILIES AND ELDERS OF THEIR COMMIUNITIES TO CONTROL THEM,not use themfor their own means. kol hakavod to the IDF

And the Left pukes again. Gee, what about all of the slaughter by arabs against Christian Blacks in Africa? Or arab against arab? These so-called teens kill...they're raised on a diet of pure Jew-hatred. Just recall the bloody 2000 Ramallah lynching.

The Arab attempt to murder all the Jews became an attempt by the Jews to steal Arab land. It's always the Jews' fault, isn't it? How could we ever "occupy" anything if the Arabs hadn't started a war against us? And what is the alternative to the occupation? Should we let them attack us again and again until they win? Maybe you would like that. When a Jew buys land, it is said he steals it. When he defends himself, he is attacking, and when even children believe they can throw stones at him, it's the Jew who is mistreating children. The stories are not even new.

To put things into context, the children raised in PLO terrorist camps are the modern day equivalent of the Hitler Youth. This does not excuse the actions of some IDF soldiers, but let us be just and at least be clear that these children are trained killers.

Killing, targeting and hating Jews is wrong and ugly thing to do but it is live and well in all the middle eastern society. Also occupying and oppressing Palestinians and treat them like animals is live and well from what I read here and always the same. I guess most of us lost the fine side of being humans.

Breaking the Silence? You're really presenting their so-called "report" as "news" and without any indication that it might be suspect? BtS has been exposed time and time again, from their anonymous and unsubstantiated "testimonies" to their funding by anti-Israel European sources. And the photo captions? The thrown brick smashing the windshield is plain to see. But where's the headbutt? Where's the kick? Where's the even remotely objective reporting on this latest transparent attempt to undermine Israeli morale, offer aid and comfort to her moral enemies and turn her friends against her? Are there bad actors in the IDF? Of course. Are they the "true face" of the IDF? Of course not. Are there soldiers and former soldiers with axes to grind? You betcha.

If these little punk kids weren't out causing trouble, this wouldn't happen. They deserve what they get--period!!!

I don't know how these incidents of rock-throwing should be handled; but I do know that violent reactions like these towards children only increases their hatred which has initially been planted by their parents and their education system. The children are victims of abuse by their parents and the society which encourages them to go out and throw stones....even when they know - perhaps because they know - that they will be dealt with very harshly. Perhaps it's a 'badge of honor' for them. But we should not be a part of this abuse. Again...I don't know how it should be handled, though.

I watched the entire footage of this event took place in Hebron. In the video, first ten minutes Israeli soldiers showed incredible patience to a group of Arab youth who kept on humiliating and harassing them. Soldiers warned them that they could be detained for harassing soldiers at a check point. Only after this, which took more than ten minutes, soldiers decided to detain only ONE of the harassers (who is in the picture here), and he made the soldier follow him couple of minutes and kept on laughing at him.. The picture is a conscientiously selected screenshot of the ONLY use of power by the soldiers in an event lasted more than 20 mins. This is simply an inside anti-Israel propaganda, and I hate this as much as they hate Israel.

sigh..... My guys were in the IDF, and they have a few amazing stories to tell of just how HUMANE the IDF and it's soldiers are. There are always two sides to an issue. I think this information should be published, but along side details of IDF humanity too.

This was at the height of the second Intifada While the IDF were knocking a few heads together , these kids elder brothers were blowing up buses , restaurants , discos , shopping malls etc Sympathy ? None .

No land was stolen from Arabs, the Jews have always maintained a presence in Israel for thousands of years, Palistine is a fantacy made up by jelous Arabs. They hate Jews because they only know how to hate. Israel needs to be tough or it will cease to exist, something Switzerland will soon be when the muslims take over.

That as a society the jewish people would reflect on their own actions, and feel remorse and guilt for how they react and behave in what are obviously horribly trying situations. That we woulld create an entire organization to try and educate our own children prior to their millitary srvice about these painful realities as an attempt to mitigate against it. I dont think the "children" throwing "stones" have parents who feel quite so burdened. I also would prefer it if ignorant Swiss would continue to maintain their more typical position of neutrality, you know the same neutrality that laundered the wealth of Europe as it was stolen by their facist neighbors to the north not too long ago. These lands were not stolen, these ideas are nonsense. A people returned to their historic home, and have been forced to fight for it constantly to rebuild it anew. You may feel guilty for the fact that the western world has carved out a small piece for itself in the middle east, and that jews have a sliver of land in this world to call their own but I never will. One day europe will be all but engulfed in flames again, and I fear the centuries old xenophobia will this time rage against the muslims now building there pseudo soceities in your midst...

to find a cause for being alive so as to try to en-noble their souls and gain a reason to be alive. shutting off the self hate for feeling worthless They often live in a state of denial to create that cause celebre. Why does ynet serve the left's cause? Those aware of, and some of us who have lived through the history in Sir Martin Gilbert's In Ishamel's House, know that the reality is that we were chosen to suffer successive tyrants of exemplary cruelty : Ashur, Babylon, Rome, Crusaders, and Islam, the latter relentless since Kaibar and on Never again, now we're home, and not willing to go like a lamb to the slaughter If we repeat Samson's Mantra, so be it No Arab Gas Oven for me ,Thanks

for the brave defenders of Israel.

@someone, you stated "Idf solders showes incredible patience to a Arab youth who kept on harassing them. Soldiers warned them that theycouldbe detained for harassing soldiers at a check point. Only after this, which took more than ten minutes, soldiers decided to detain only ONE of the harassers (who is in the picture here), and he made the soldier follow him couple of minutes and kept on laughing at him.. " Perhaps they should just follow the example of the syrian army? Then instead of harassing the soldiers...the arabs would be running for their lives.

at palestinian schoolbooks. You presume jewish children are educated with prejudice, but turn a blind eye to the genocidal indoctrination of arab kids. Before accusing Israel of stealing arab land (the land of milk and honey turned into a moonlike desert by their goats and costly bought back with hard currency), when are you going to give me back the golden teeth and wedding rings of my grandparents which were transferred from Auschwitz to be hoarded in a Zurich banksafe?

I am disgusted by this article and by Oded Shalom who wrote it. I also resent the lies written under the pictures which do not correspond to what is depicted. There is no head-butt nor any kicking in the pictures. This article is just anti-Israeli propaganda because the article overlooks and forget all the hatred, murders and stone throwing by palestinist "children". With your vile bias you do a lot of damage to Israel's image. Shame on you Oded Shalom, Breaking the Silence and YNet! I don't believe one word you wrote!

Too silly for words. This a war-zone. Its not an "occupation" either. That was a dead give away that this pile of rubbish was concocted by some NGO pushing the barrow again. Sorry, not interested.

Do you really expect intelligent people to believe this? Israeli soldiers are the most compassionate in the world. You should be exposed for the lies you spread. I will no longer accept news from ynet.

Firsthand accounts by IDF members cannot be easily dismissed. The IDF must follow through and investigate these complaints. We don't want the IDF to accept such abuse.
