I'm not so sure I believe this. As much as I believe the IDF and Zionist influences to mistreat and/or terrorize the Palestinians, I'm finding it hard to believe that they are molesting children, not to mention that there is no proof. In fact, it's baseless accusations like this, that make the Palestinian plight all the more desperate, as it hurts their genuine complaints.
I think some things are being exaggerated here. I have no dount that Palestinian children are being stripped searched at both check-points and detainment camps and accusations like that can quickly be turned into sexual molestation charges.

I understand what's happening in the region, but what do those videos have to do with children being molested by IDF soldiers?

Looks like in that first video those soldiers was doing their best to get that dog off of her and after words escorted her towards some help. The one soldier even put her arm around her.
Now since the video doesn't show what happened before that (like so many do), we can't really determine if the dog was set on her or went after her on its own. To me the dog doesn't look that well trained since the handlers couldn't get their own dog (if it was their dog) to stop attacking. One soldier even tried to kick the dog in the head.
The other video I'm not sure what to make of. A woman was accidently injured and was taken to the hospital by ambulance who was called by the soldiers. They apparently was looking for something, whether they found it or not wasn't determined and a hole was put in their wall.
Other then the woman being unintentionally injured I don't see anything that would keep this from trying to be suppressed. I don't know how true that claim is.

I would believe it for the simple fact that this stuff happens.
Reminds me of the Canadian Airborne, and the unsubstantiated claims of turture, which became substantiated, and ultimately led to the disbanding of the regiment. Shameful, but happens.
The unfortunate truth is, an army consists of a great number of people and you will get the same percentage of sickos as you would in the general population. Therefore, it is just a matter of time until something like this happens.
I'm certain that if this does become substantiated, the IDF will deal with it, and I would not be suprised if the punishments are harsh.

OH they SAW the camera, I wonder why the clip didn't show that part.
Since you saw the clip showing that part can you post it here so that the rest of us can see it?

Are you serious?
Have you ever tried to get something away from a dog that doesn't want to let go? You want to talk about selective seeing, then lets talk about those soldiers doing everything other then shooting the animal to get it off. Its a good thing they didn't shoot the animal too. God forbid they did shoot it and the bullet kills the dog, goes through and kills the woman also.
You would be complaining about the woman being killed rather then having her hand bit.
I'm still waiting for the clip showing that they saw the camera as you claimed.

Hmmmm ok..
You do understand the origional intent of your post was to bring to light accusations of IDF membersa raping a child. You do understand that aside from the IDF, which has proesecuted their members for these types of incidents, Hamas, as well as other groups in the middle east are jsut as guilty of this insane stupidity?
Running an uncorroberated news piece is irrespnsible journalism and does nothing to help resolve the problem in the Middle East.
We can spend from now until eternity playing point counter point with posts, blogs, photos, first hand accounts, eyewitness accounts, vitim statements, court trnscripts etc etc.
The practice is Barbaric, on both sides. What makes it even worse, especially for the victims, is when the incident is used for political purposes that in the end, does nothing but continue to incite hatred and anger towards each other, which perpetuates the revenge missions, and keeps the cycle going.
The purpose of most of the media is not to bring these stories to light, but to keep the fight going so they have something to report on.
Who wants to talk about peace... Who wants to talk about Israeli soldiers helping Palestinian children by taking them to the Hospital to get them help because the parents were to afraid to take them. Who wants to talk about Palestinians assisting wounded Israeli soldiers, protecting them from angry mobs?
Peace does not get good ratings, or increase circulation.
Both sides are wrong, and any attempt to say otherwise is misinformed at best.
