      Asked by CNN about the videos, the Israel Defense Forces did not dispute their veracity, location or that IDF soldiers were involved. It condemned the soldiers’ behavior, which it said does not align with its rules, adding that the perpetrators will be punished.

      It’s against their rules and they’re going to be punished for it, so it’s unclear to me why you cited this. This is clearly not IDF policy.

      It seems like you’re trying really hard to establish false equivalency. It’s clear to me that although it has its faults, IDF is nothing like Hamas.

      It’s amazing how you will condemn the IDF for actions that most other militaries in the world would also do if in their position.

        Has the IDF ever done anything wrong?

        But you’re right, I would condemn any military that killed 7000 children in a few weeks.

          Most definitely! They tried to cover up the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh and once their lies were revealed, they refused to punish the soldier responsible. I consider that to be pretty abhorrent.
