IDF mulls code of ethics for Israeli troops

IDF boss Benny Gantz is issuing a "directive" in the hopes of avoiding a repeat of the recent incident wherein a few female conscripts posted their bare butts on Facebook.

Here's a couple more ideas for your code of ethics, Benny:

• stop hassling innocent civilians at the checkpoints if they're just folks who need to go to work or to school
• stop using live ammo on kids throwing stones at your patrols in the West Bank.

I know you don't want to be seen as weak, Benny, but showing a bit of goodwill is going to get you a lot further in the long run than playing the bully every minute.

Think about it.
