I (and most Israeli's I know) want Youtube and Google to keep any video that shows improper behavior by soldiers towards Palestinians. It keeps us honest and lets us prosecute criminals, even if they are wearing uniforms. This happens once in a while yet much less often than you would think and not at the scale of atrocities done by the US, French, British and Russian forces in Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq. And Israel does a pretty good job of bringing these people to justice.
These are not the videos that are discussed here. As I'm sure you all know, there is an ongoing wave of "terror" in Israel in the past month (Call it any way you want - the facts are that civilians, kids, women and the elderly are daily being stabbed in the street and purposely being run-over in bus stops). Many of the Arab attackers are kids. Boys and girls aged 11 and up, leave school, pick up a kitchen knife and go hunting for Jews to kill.
These kids are sometimes called to action using illegal (per the Youtube and Facebook terms of service) videos in the Arabic language. These are the videos in question. They are copying the ISIS video recruitment strategy and it is working out pretty good for them.
There are ~2 attacks per day. Many of the attackers are Arab Israelis with full civilian rights and a Israeli passport.
Imagine sending your kids to school in this climate.
