Israeli soldiers have always been pranksters, even going back to the 1960's when my father was in the tsava. He did his fair share of mooning in those days. It simply underscores the fact that Israeli soldiers are not malicious or inherently violent, as ISM would have you believe. As for Palestinians dropping their pants, where' the video? The only modes of expression I have seen from Palestinians are waving fists in the air, throwing rocks, shooting kalachnikovs, and firing kassams. Where's the progress?
