[Hebrew #Wikipedia article on IDF, translation]
[...] The #IDF has an official ethical code according to which its soldiers and officers are educated. The official ethical code emphasizes the importance of adherence to mission and purity of arms. The IDF works extensively to instill the official ethical code in soldiers through educational activities during basic training, commander courses, educational workshops, and more.
Jewish terrorism is just an extension of state terrorism. It's neither new nor surprising, it's carried out with impunity across every sector of Israeli society. The incident documented in this video is no worse than thousands of others that go unreported. It's being addressed now only because it's becoming too visible to deny or conceal.
Even the #Ynet (a site that frames everything through the lens of antisemitism) article frames it with mention of stone-throwing, as if that justifies the soldiers' conduct. Here are some user comments on #Ynet accompanying this report and video, demonstrating how all forms of violence have been normalized:

There's no such thing as disproportionate force against Palestinian terrorists. Better disproportionate force than "permitted for publication"

The child threw stones? In any normal regime he would have received a bullet to the head.

I didn't see anything excessive. That's how you arrest terrorists.

Two problems here. If right-wing bots are manipulating the comments section, Ynet moderators should block them, but the bigger issue is that this is incitement and hate speech. As someone who comments there regularly, I can confirm: any comment that challenges Israel or the IDF, or draws comparisons to Nazism, gets blocked and removed. They can and do moderate, albeit with a strong preference for incitement against Palestinians. This kind of content is allowed to stand, even when flagged for hate speech.
