ALBAWABA - A video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) showed an Israeli soldier hitting on a Palestinian girl who happens to be 15 years old angering pro-Palestine and human rights activists.
The soldier kept on saying in the video "What a babe" despite the girl telling him that she was only 15 years old and adding in Hebrew:
"You're used to saying I'm a minor so they won't ask for an ID card" and kept on denying the fact that she's 15 by telling her "You're 17 or 19, don't lie", as he smiled to the camera.

The video was shared by an X user called Censored Men, they added to the caption "There's a reason why Israel is known as the "Safe Haven for Pedophiles".
Where did the video come from?
A user commented on the post and stated that the video came from a documentary taken in 2003 called "Checkpoint" which tells the story of Palestinian travelers who face frustration and humiliation on a routine basis as they encounter the imposing checkpoints manned by Israeli soldiers.

The 2003 documentary was made by Israeli filmmaker Yoav Shamir.
Several users had a lot to say about the matter:
"Disgusting".
"They're not men, you can't raise your hand to a woman".
"Israeli media calls Israel the Promised Land of Pedophiles." as they shared screenshots from several Israeli media outlets.
"It makes sense!" as they showed Jeffrey Epstein with a sign that said "I stand with Israel" referencing his private island controversy that is still witnessing pedophilia and sexual assault allegations even after his death.
