    Ehud Barak, a former Defence Minister of Israel, while in office, coined the phrase "Israel Defence Forces (IDF) is the most moral army in the world."

    Since than, this phrase has been invoked countless of times by many around the world in order to counter claims that IDF is anything but moral....

    Let us have a closer look and see if IDF is really the most moral army in the world.

    First, here is what Ehud Barak himself has said:

    "Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in a statement that he "stands behind the operational norms that guide the IDF in warfare." "We have one army that is the most moral in the world, from the chief of General Staff until the last soldier...."

    ...And here are just a few of very many, who often utter that phrase:

    ....And here is just one video footage of many out there, that proves otherwise.

    April 1993, video showing Israeli soldiers beating up two Palestinians with rocks and other instruments. This was following an official infamous order from Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin to “break their hands and legs” and troops were issued wooden clubs. As cases of cruel beatings, and in some cases many death occurred, the order was withdrawn officially.
