1. Don't go after the kids
David ,   On this planet   (08.04.13)
Go after anybody with a camera , bust their cameras and their head at the same time, that should teach them to stage anything in the future.
2. Spokesperson's Unit said the incident would be investigated
split ,   US   (08.04.13)
Yeah right, where did I hear this before ? ,...
3. The most videoed army in the world
nickisverige ,   Sweden   (08.04.13)
The IDF is the most videoed army in the world and quite frankly if this kind of fairly minor occasional incident is the worst the camers can record despite all of the endless attempts to provoke a reaction then I would say the IDF is certainly one of the most moral armies in the world. I don't want to defend wrong-doing by anyone and I'm sure the IDF will take appropriate action against the soldier involved but, honestly, if any police force in the western world had almost all of their actions filmed, you would regularly see far worse than this.
4. Missing context
Yosef Yitzchak ,   Boca Raton   (08.04.13)
What happened before and after the filming? Lucky was not a Jewish boy at the hands of PA Arabs, it would had been decapitated or stoned to death
5. idf kicking 12 year old
Jimmie Draper ,   ringold, oklahoma   (08.04.13)
How about posting the soldiers side, how many more children will be hospitalized be before these great soldiers are not only allowed to kick but shoot those rock throwing 12 year terriost, whos, side are you on, pick and quit fence jumping, (bennedick arnold).
6. MORALITY
Robert Levine ,   Las Terrenas,DR   (08.04.13)
The video will go viral and the world will condemn IDF for what is a minor infraction. BUT the slaughter in Syria? Nothing to see here folks.
7. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.04.13)
Perhaps when the Polish government promised to look into the looting, murder and devastation that the Polish army committed against the Jewish people? Is that when you heard it before?
8. one more time
anton ,   istanbul   (08.04.13)
most moral army in world :)
9. This was just a trifling incident!
Johannes ,   Norway   (08.04.13)
I would think the Arab boy asked for it! "News" like this is just a derailment!
10. use of kids
alsky ,   Toronto   (08.04.13)
pallywood never ends. These 'kids' are lucky they are not shot.
11. To: No.8, Tonton.
Uzziel   (08.04.13)
Why donĀ“t you take a look at this video and you shut up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4RwEsdUm7s Turkish armed forces one of the most genocidal armies in the world.
12. #2 What ? you're not on your floptilla to syria?
rachel ,   usa   (08.04.13)
13. IDF amd morality
alsky ,   toronto   (08.04.13)
IDF is-by far- the most moral army in the world-by far. They are, however not perfect !
14. #7 - When ??? ,...
split ,   US   (08.04.13)
15. So What....The kid threw a stone....
Koose E Mack ,   NY US   (08.04.13)
Would it have been ok if the rock the little bastard threw hurt a soldier? A kick is the minimal punishment that kid should get. If it was a Syrian Soldier, he would have been skewered on a bayonet or worse! Split...please commit suicide.
16. #1 On this planet... more exactly North Korea
(08.04.13)
17. Not nice. If it was Syria. The boy would be face shot
adi ,   Zurich   (08.04.13)
Not nice. If it was in Syria. The boy would be face shot
18. #8 chillul hashem
Avramele   (08.04.13)
My great uncle was murdered by Poles upon return to his shtetl. But what does the Shoah have to do with IDF soldiers acting like drunken Cossacks?
19. #16 Yes this is the Middle East
David ,   On this planet   (08.04.13)
Get off your high horse and go back to your lovely Europe where you came from Mr hypocrite smarty
20. The incident in Hebron
Edmond Silber ,   Montreal   (08.04.13)
They should go after the camera men, not after the soldier. The only thing I can blame to this soldier, is being letting him caught by the camera, he should know that his enemies expect that type of incident and they will just cause it knowing that their buddies stand by to shoot them with cameras provided by B'Tselem
21. so what ? ynet bother us with this lousy video pro-arab
(08.04.13)

30. What is the big deal about that soldier
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (08.05.13)
I would have done the same. The soldier side kicked the kid like a soccer pass. Believe you me if the soldier wanted to hurt the kid he would have. This was a get lost kid you are pestering me kick.
