The Israeli soldier is often accused of atrocities.

This brief slide show was created to show you the real face of the

IDF

They are our brothers, fathers and husbands...

our sisters, daughters and friends...

They are kind and gentle…

They are compassionate…even towards our would-be killers

They weep when their friends are killed

They stand in the shadow of tanks in order to protect the

lives of their children, wives,

parents and friends.

Our beautiful soldiers sacrifice their innocence, their personal safety and even their lives so that

others may live.

The one thing they refuse to sacrifice is their morality and their humanity.

Many refuse to believe the heights of morality and the breadth of compassion that the IDF constantly displays.

To this I say:

“An age is called dark not because the light fails to shine but because people refuse to see”
