I prefer the olde "wrap in pig skin and piss on the corpse" routine, but whatever rocks your boat, I guess.
If you thought that humans are friendly, peaceful creatures, you were sadly mistaken. In a conflict like the Israeli-Palestinian one, the enemy is dehumanized to make it easier to kill them (note: every modern army does the same during their target practice!). It is little wonder that Israeli soldiers act in this way; soldiers have done this for centuries. They've done it in WW1, they did it in WW2, they did it during the Korean and Vietnam wars, and they're doing it today. I'd say we keep our civilian morality and ethics out of a war, because it has no place there; they have their own rules and regulations, and even these may be too restrictive. After all, the object of a war is ultimately to defeat the enemy any way you can, and that includes killing, maiming and destroying in the name of your cause.
(And no, I wasn't kidding about the pig skin and pissing routine. Suicide bombers and other terrorists deserve it.)
