So this anecdote (one not large group of soldiers) proves somehow the majority of Israelis are sadists? That's not evidence, that's your opinion coupled with a nice story.

> Only 10% of Israelis did not support Cast Lead, in a poll by Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper). So, sadly, it appears the massacres have the support of the vast majority of the settler population in spite of general knowledge of civilian (including child) casualties before the poll. Some might consider this sadistic too.
