'IDF troops more polite than PA police'

Strangely enough, that observation came from a Palestinian woman, whose house in the West Bank was raided by Palestinian policemen. "They behaved in a shameful way," she said. "When the Jews come, they ask for permission and cry out before they enter a house." She added that the police acted in a barbaric manner and left behind a lot of damage. The difference might not sound like much but it counts for a lot, just another small example of the morality of the IDF, that gets buried in the hundreds of accusations of war crimes. Here's another, in a letter written by an Israeli soldier to the Gaza Palestinian whose home he stayed in during Cast Lead.
