Everywhere you look, Israeli soldiers are being painted as heartless, cruel and oppressive occupiers whose sole desire seems to be the increase of pain and suffering among poor, innocent Palestinian Arabs.

It’s to be expected from the Palestinian Authority, a terror group-turned-political entity that has a clearly-stated agenda of delegitimizing and defeating the Jewish state.

But you often hear the same blood libels repeated by some local Israeli Jews and Arabs, even Christians among them, who should know better.

Fortunately, in the age of the smartphone and social media, it’s increasingly easy to put the lie to this destructive narrative.

Is every single Israeli soldier a good and decent person? Certainly not. No group of people can make such a claim. Are there Israeli soldiers who abuse their power? Undoubtedly. 

But to assert that the IDF as a whole seeks only to put down and do harm to the Palestinian Arabs is a falsehood that only serves to perpetuate the conflict.

Fortunately, there are a great many Israeli soldiers like the two seen in the video below who most assuredly do not hate the Palestinians, and are even willing, without hesitation, to share their food with hungry Arab children.

And, one must wonder, if Israeli soldiers are “child-killers” like the Palestinian Authority so often claims them to be, then why were these two young Palestinian children not afraid to approach them, even to hug them?
