Although violence should never be seen as a solution (it is, rather, half to generate more violence), sometimes legitimize violence as the only possible means of defense. This is the case when we justify a war or qualify as fair and we want (ironically) ending violence with violence.
The media often show other cultures as violent and based on that justify its military intervention and domination and exploitation of other areas, of other cultures.
Since we are small we are familiar with violence, we are educated in violence, thus, as adults we can not see violence as something negative. so perhaps ennoble us, we use and even we are capable of inventing new forms of violence, new and more powerful ways of doing harm.Violence, humiliation, torture, ... Many forms of attack, to exert violence against others. They are all so detestable that represent themselves, and they are based on the consideration of the other as an inferior, as a non-human.
dehumanize and violent, that's the strategy.

Yourgoal is not to tarnish the image of the armed forces, but "to force Israeli society to cope with a reality created from within."
tell soldiers as "routine" land invasions, violence in the check-points, the child abuse or submission to the orders of the settlers
