were it not for the fact that Israel had to run the daily gauntlet of media distortions and lies and antisemitic blood libels from the likes of you know who.

they gave food to the stranger and risked their lives doing so. may they be blessed by the eternal one.
5. #2 It's not bragging
Jerusalem   (12.22.14)
This is a mission statement, their wholehearted intentions are to serve and protect. This is the story beneath the story of incitement that covers the pages. They have big hearts.

Miron ,   USA   (12.22.14)
on peach once in a while... And he could feed them all, had he had the brains and heart to take a bit of humble hat and shake it with Vladimir Putin. By the way, Russia, unlike US, does feed her hungry children.

only a few years older than the children they gave food too. What we see here are children that were raised with social values. This is the result of good education!

There is a decent size Wikipedia article that answers this question.

Mary Wilson ,   United States   (12.22.14)
Well, isn't that touching! Having occupied their territory, reduced them to desperate poverty, colonized their land and confiscated their resources, all in violation of international law, Israeli soldiers give starving Palestinian children a bit of food! How very, very moral!

Inadvertently I recommended your talk back, so in order to clarify my understanding of the compassion shown by the soldiers and refute your absurd comment, which only advertises your typical WASP credentials. Furthermore, where are their parents, where are the PA when their so called people need them, absolutely nowhere but ensuring that their back pockets are filled. Generally soldiers the world over take pity on the children who are made to suffer for the actions of the adults. You perverting the actions of the IDF as being something dishonourable only indicates your sour mentality, so typical of a large number of your fellow citizens.

Why doesn't Israel have a food stamp program like we have here?

A ,   Belgium   (12.22.14)
reduced them to desperate poverty, colonized their land and confiscated their resources, American governments give humiliated Native Americans a bit of land called "reservations". There is no hypocrisy greater than American hypocrisy, especially when demonstrated by those as yourself.

Dear Mary, I'm afraid you have the facts wrong. The arabs in the land of Israel emigrated their from Saudi, Yemen, Syria, Egypt and so on, after the Jews began to return from whence they came and create a prosperous country. There were jobs so they came. Also many Jews never left the land. Way back before there was an Israel when somebody referred to a palestinian they were referring to, more then likely, a Jew. Mary please read history the land was baron, a waste land before the Jews began to return. I'm sorry to tell you bet the palestinian people were created for political reasons in order to keep pressure on the Jewish State. I would love to continue this discussion at your convenience.
17. #10 desperate poverty?

There is a limit how much you can lie. "Palestinians" are per capita, the most subsidized people on the face of the earth. Amongst Arabs, they have the greatest freedom, are the best educated, get the best health care, have the greatest security for their property and greatest access to justice. Compare the "desperate" "palestinians" to Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians or Libyans. See the percentage of Egyptian children stunted by malnourishment.
