Video: The World’s Most Moral Army
Is the Israeli military a paragon of morality and wartime ethics? Or is it an oppressive force that targets innocent Palestinian civilians and commits war crimes as a matter of policy? Colonel Richard Kemp, who was the commander of British Forces in Afghanistan, was in Israel during its war against Hamas in 2014, and analyzes whether Israel’s military is ethical, evil, or somewhere in between.
what is the point
This all sounds good but to have so much compassion on one’s enemies and risk Jiewish lives is certainly not morality. It is simply being afraid of what the world will say. and that in itself is wrong. May Hashem inspire the IDF to become again a strong army that will invoke fear in our enemies and may we merit to have Moshiach and not need to go to war anymore.

I can’t stand these “we are better people” garbage.
It does more harm than good.
It’s…
(1) Telling the world, we care what you think. It really does matter what you think.
This is why, they tell us what to do….we allow them to, we invite them to tell us.
Come to think about it, it’s kind of embarrassing.
(2) It’s telling the enemy, we will play by your rules. This is a losing strategy.
(3) This invites more terror.
The truth is, we are much better then them.
They need to know, that whatever they do to us, we will do BETTER to them!
This is how true peace will come. Only peace through strength.

political correctness is a mind disease that must be destroyed before it destroys us
p.s. Our leaders in Washington will not call mass murdering terrorists jihadadist and racial Moslem terrorists because of political correctness in spite of reality

That is absurd. War is, by definition, an immoral, vile, criminal enterprise. Whatever “morals”, laws, halachos, etc. we observe when prosecuting warfare are solely for our benefit, not for the enemy who would just as soon kill and torture in the most cruel manner possible. And surely not for the benefit of third-party think tanks, NGOs that fashion themselves “criminal courts” or governments not party to the conflict.
