...the monsters who sent out two retarded women to kill 100 women and children.... I'm sure representative Tibi never heard of that Abu Ghraib outrage!

Did they only object to the buttocks or also to the peace symbol that the soldier flashed? Then again he might have been flipping the bird, British style

This goes beyond stupid. The soldiers were just screwing around as young people are wont to do. I thought I will never see something like that on Israeli site, however it is good anvertisment for gays in the military

Thank goodness that this is the worst thing that can be said (on the whole) about our brave lads. No rape, no murders, no pillaging, no looting. Just kids messing around. This ynet article may do good for gays in Israeli and American military

Untill the issue Israel/palis exists,foreign "volunters" wanting to come to Israel should be allowed to stick ONLY in the main and turistic cities.Any other city ,where their presence can be understood or have any political aim,should be forbiden. I think there is something to do with day rights in Israel. Those Europeans filmed it for a reason

This is Top News at the moment... I hope Winograd will feel jalous, and write a juicy report. Bsssss.... let's go back beeing serious, and let those soldiers work quietly, and not under leftists' pressure..

Nannette, it is good to see that there are smart people like you who do not succumb to such falisified, malice-filled propaganda like this. Keep up the good work. As for those who do believe in this garbage, I seriously pity you.

If we are going to equate killing civilians and doing damage to property to insultingly showing ones butt, we have a problem. I realize that in the current context this is terrible behavior but it is only nudity. People, take a step back.

ALL "Arabs saw heads off... " but by your argument only "FEW Israelis indulge in mooning i.e. exposing their naked butts etc. Not because YOU revel in a cesspool of naked fornicating bodies, blood and murder and mayhem mean that decent people who still believe in modesty, and morality should not be offended by the naked backsides of the IOF. I think the settlers who harasses these people mercilessly should also be incarcerated.

I THINK IT'S FUNNY AS HE11 ALL THEY DID IS TELL THE ARABS WHAT THEY CAN DO.!!!!!!!!

THAT'S THE SPIRIT !!! WE'RE WAITING YOU !!!!!!!! AND CONGRATULATIONS YNET FOR THIS SPLENDID JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!

Ok let moon at the Pals :)))))))))))))))) I join in : -))))))))))))))) see my butt :)))))))))))))))))) LOL

With the cold weather we've been having lately, it took a lot of courage for these young soldiers to drop their pants. They should get medals. I hope they had a few laughs about this. They deserve it for putting their lives on the line. Get real folks, what's mooning, for God's sake? Silly fun.

Soldiers are called monsters because they mooned and made the victory sign?????

hmm..maybe the IDF hasn't got better weapons than the old-fashioned Gas Tank loool..Well...now I know why got your butts kicked in Lebanon haha (hint hint)...If this is the behaviour of the IDF then for sure something's gone wrong. Have they lost faith already? Or is it coz they prefer using their butts instead of their guns...ooh wait wait...Wat do u call Israeli Demonstrations? Asscapades! haha...idiots

That was pretty unprofessional of the soldiers and they deserved to be punished. Still, it would be nice if this whole conflict could be reduced from a so-called "cycle of violence" to a cycle of sunburned butts.

.... to show bottoms, especially if they are female bottoms; unfortunately these are male ones; but they are bottoms all right. Every one has it, but if one gets to see those of others; it is more exciting. Sick media... creating sick community

The IDF has gone mad,is the ISM running the IDF,it seems like it. Soldiers who sacrifice their lives to keep this country safe get 21 days for mooning.Anyway they will be safer in Jail.Then where they were.

Arab MK's get away with sedition,and Israeli soldiers go to jail for a frivolous, light hearted joke.These are dedicated soldiers and are being treated with utmost disrespect If they weren't serious they would not have enlisted.And would be lying now on a beach somewhere.

Nothing new here: that was the side of the IDF soldiers seen most of the time by Hizballa in the recent round of unpleasantness on the northern border.

I would much rather have somebody MOON me than blow me up in a pet market.

This was called a "vile act"? Astonishing that soldiers were disciplined for this. Who cares if they showed their butts? Anyone remember wallace in Braveheart?

I congratulate those soldiers!! You people act as though they committed murder! At least they know who the enemy is. Their superiors need to recheck themselves.

Or does anyone else think these people (arabs/activists) are the biggest bunch of creeps ever?

The Christian Peacemaker Teams are part of the ISM. They encourage Arabs to trespass on Israeli property in the West Bank and provoke outbursts that they try and film then twist for propaganda purposes. This story is already circulating that the IDF soldiers were given three weeks in the birg. If you examine the footage, what you see if the soldiers hands are centered in the front of their bodies. The two soldiers were urinating in an open field, not mooning the Arabs or CPT. The soldier on the right did not even drop his underwear. The soldiers were no doubt unaware they wre being filmed from behind or ignoring the ISM creep who shot this and should not even be allowed in Judea and Samaria. CPT wants Isrel destroyed and no lie is to great in the media to achieve this end. Visit www.StoptheISM.com .

Hamas & al-aksa shoots at soldiers. So the arabs were mooned, so what?

This is great I think all Isaeli's should do a lot of nooning to thier enemies. These soilders should get a medal. And a medal for bravey. They should have nooned the peace activist also. These people are a pain in the back side.

By George, moonless night battle !
