There's one small problem - the photo is a fake.
The uniform is not an IDF uniform, the boots aren't IDF boots and the weapon is a Russian issue AK-47 - the IDF uses American-made M-16's.
But why let facts get in the way?

Pro-'Palestinian' websites post fake photos to incite against Israel
This photograph has unfortunately become common on pro-'Palestinian' websites (see this, for example). It is being promoted as a picture of an IDF soldier trampling on a 'Palestinian' child.

Could you show what the Israeli army wears and show the different rifles so we can see for ourselves?
ReplyDeleteCertainly, Classical Liberal. Here's an example of both.

Couldn't find a picture of the shoes or coat (the Israeli issue coat is thicker. Also, for some reason, IDF soldiers are only allowed to wear fingerless gloves while handling a rifle. I remember a long argument with my commander who would not allow me to use shooting gloves (where only the trigger finger is exposed).
