The IDF are no angels, and there are many, many incidents like this not captured on film from the occupation. It's sad that young men are brutalised to this extent by the ongoing occupation and the necessity of imposing draconian rules to maintain it.

But if the Palestinian terrorists stopped killing Israeli citizens with gay abandon and embraced a non-violent resistance to occupation, the moral outrage felt at such breaches might actually have some merit.
My view--given the early history of Israel (Irgun, stern gang, deir yassin massacre etc) is that if the israelis were weak and the palastinians strong the situation would be reversed today, and you would now be calling the israelis terrorists.
