Based on the comment from Carthy at the end of the article, it's the compulsory service that makes them sensitive. Even though they're carrying out orders they could and should object to, they're still just carrying out orders, and apparently that should make them immune to criticism.

That tends to make people report for military service enthusiastically and take great personal offense at people who they see as cheerleading for the other side. There's a lot to be said for both sides of this conflict, but portraying it as Israel just up and decided to bomb a bunch of innocent people for no reason sounds more like propaganda for the Palestinians' side than a fair look at the issues.
