"ultimately" be cruel? They are already -on the religious and on haredim.
2. gaza
Ahmed ,   Karachi, Pakistan   (07.13.14)
We are miles away from Gaza here in Pakistan but we are with Palestinian. victory is not far away from Muslims. Stop Genocide of Palestinian.
3. Social workers or an Army ? Berlin would still been under Na

-zis had Allies showed this Kumbaya attitude.
4. Why is this IAF pilot different
C   (07.13.14)
than those who refuse to carry out orders from their supervisors because they found them illegal/immoral and were sent to military jail or dismissed because of it? Is it only those who refuse orders against Jews who should be punished?
5. human shields
jenifer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.13.14)
this is war! the parents of these children gave permission for their children to act as human shields for the terrorists-allowing them to be in combative areas and to be possibly killed! The arabs feel this is their Kidush Ha Shem-L-havdil-in contrast to how Jews value lives-esp. those of innocent children and people! The arabs are laughing at us!
6. Vive la difference!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.13.14)
Therein, ladies and gentlemen, the difference. An Israeli calls off an air strike because there are children nearby. Never mind the fact that those children were in all likelihood deliberately sent there by their parents. Cannon fodder, that's what children mean to the "palestinians." We already know that they sell their children to be suicide bombers. This is just another form of "palestinian" depravity. Just when you thought the definition of depravity could not possibly get any worse. Makes you want to throw up, doesn't it?
7. War is not pretty or polite
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (07.13.14)
It's one thing to be cautious, but this is crazy! Who do IDF/IAF think is "evacuating" hidden among the children: HAMAS!! Israel is playing nice guy way too far - - - I fear that their fair and gentle warfare will come back to haunt Am Yisrael with terrifying consequences.

Say it in English, honey, that we might all reap the benefit of your wisdom.
9. #2 Paki News Blast
Benji ,   US   (07.13.14)
Muslims are killing each other off. The boys from IS have Pakistan on their list. Hamas started this conflict and has told Gazans to remain in their homes so they can get killed. Hamas is your ticket to oblivion.
10. Pilot refuses to hit target
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.13.14)
Well, now, that's damn white of him! And it does, admittedly, make a Zionist propaganda point or two, But no one is fooled. And in much of the US, among the grassroots, the boycott of "Israel" is beginning in earnest.
11. No doubt of it
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (07.13.14)
It does, Sarah B.
12. hope it is only PR
david cohen   (07.13.14)
i hope that it is only a Public Relation video. if it is true that u called off a mission to save kids used as a shield by the arabs then... yes.. you are naive and maybe even stupid. nothing should be your worry except eliminating the danger to the children of the Israelis!
13. Bragging about not killing children...
TaylorT ,   Earth   (07.13.14)
...is probably a sign that your morals are a little whacked. Seriously, it's time you people snapped out of your stupor. Rejoin the human race. Forever war is, ultimately, not winnable. And smaller belligerent nations go quicker to their doom than larger ones...
14. Not even USA stopped airstrikes because of children.
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.14.14)
And when does the opposite side take in injured enemy and give them medical treatment as we do? You know what, I pity the Palestinians.
15. #13 taylor
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.14.14)
Tell that to Hamas, Hezbollah and the PA. They don't want Jews in the area and want to kill them all. What you are seeing now is Jewish self-defense, and it doesn't matter if you like it or not.
16. To the sensitive pilot - you need to relieved from your
m r ,   israel   (07.14.14)
duties !
17. #10 "in much of the US, among the grassroots,"
A ,   Belgium   (07.14.14)
meaning the illiterate, beer guzzling, nose picking trailor park white trash as yourself.
18. Too late for this propaganda...
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (07.14.14)
Seventy years of massacres and ethnic cleansing has taught the world what hides behind the Israeli (or shall we say "Jewish") mask of benevolent victimhood. This video can be easily faked with a tape recorder. The white phosphorus, depleted uranium and the killed families-are palpably real. If Israel wants to show everyone its humanity...how about starting by amending the Talmud?
19. PR stunt! Not normal procedure.
James   (07.14.14)
20. #18 avi - correct
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.15.14)
Except you speak of Muslims who are killing each other and anyone else who is not a Muslim. And add on a few thousand years to your "70".
21. Guarantees?!
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.15.14)
Like the "guarantee" Israel received that Hezbollah would not be able to rearm?
