1. Government functions or dosen't
Ray ,   San Diego USA   (07.01.09)
Why do we pay for the police and legislature when the court can handle all the functions of government ?
2. Compassion
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (07.01.09)
May G have compassion with the Israeli Supreme Court! They for sure have no "chesed", maybe they don't even know what it is! This case is shameful for Israel and it's legal system, terrorists are more important to them than soldiers who offer their lives for our country! How can you expect boys to go willing and proudly to the IDF with this judgments?
3. Excuse me Mr.Ricardo
Tip ,   Dubai   (07.01.09)
So yo don't find anything wrong with the IDF'S action in shooting that palestinian?
4. #2 Don't bring God into this
Aharon   (07.01.09)
This hasn't a thing to do with God. As an IDF veteran I fully support the Supreme Court's decision. It's unthinkable that we should essentially turn a blind eye to the gross misconduct of our soldiers which violates our most basic morals, and the army's purity of arms policy no less. This has nothing to do with favouring terrorists over soldiers. Soldiers who abide by the acceptable code of conduct and fulfill their duties within the law have nothing to fear. This is about criminals - and criminals, be they Palestinian terrorists or Israeli soldiers, deserve punishment befitting their crime. In this case, the crime is such a blatant and deliberate violation of Israeli and international law that there is no doubt that these boys deserve to be tried for much more serious charges.
5. And Who Holds Betzelem Accountable?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.01.09)
They are more than just an irritating group of activists. They, and others of their ilk, cause immeasurable harm to Israel. It would be poetic justice if someone brought them up on charges of racism (against Jews). That our High Court rules in their favor is not so much an indication of how "evil" our military is, but how insensitive these judges are to our country's security needs.
6. To # 3 and #4
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (07.01.09)
OK Tip, you want the truth? I don't find nothing wrong in IDF bringing fright to an enemy. not at all! As for Aharon, please remember that being a veteran (if you are) doesn't guarantee good judgment, we had too many cases of soldiers feeling outraged for our actions and finally be lying. And, most important, it has all to do with G, people who don't believe, like you, are the same who say we have no right to our land, remember that the arabs are your enemies and IDF who risk their lives to defend you, so, sorry to say, they are NOT equal.
7. to #3 nop, he still standing and much alive.

8. WHY I WOULD BELIEVE ISRAELI COURTS THAT ARE NOT POLITICS ?
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (07.01.09)
9. Jews indicted Naalin shooting;
observer   (07.01.09)
that means that the father of the girl who shot the video, recording the incident, has still been in jail since that time.
10. #6 RICARDO, I SUPPORT YOU 1001% ,IDF MUST SUPPORT ITS PEOPLE
.......DACON9   (07.01.09)
#6 RICARDO, I SUPPORT YOU 1001% , IDF MUST SUPPORT ITS PEOPLE... EVEN POLITICANS CAN LOSE THEIR MINDS AND ''DISENGAGE CITIZENS FROM GUSH KATIF'' OR E.JERUSALEM OR JUDEA /SAMEREA WHEN THAT HAPPENS.... IRAN TEACHES YOU WHAT MUST BE DONE... TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY TAKE BACK ISRAEL TO BE WITH ITS PEOPLE AND ITS PEOPLE TO BE WITH G'D AND MAYBE THEN HASHEM WILL HEAR OUR CRIES FOR ''HIDS'' HELP ALONE'' AND FULFIL ''HIS'' PROMISE TO REBUILD 'HIS' TEMPLE.

11. Purity of Arms?
Yonatan ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.01.09)
I laugh to think of the lunacy of the conceited leftists Israelis who think that they can assure the "purity of arms". Arms are not pure, they are meant to kill people, any belief to the contrary is inane, ideologically-basedm and uninformed. As for the case at hand, nothing should be done to these brave soldiers, except for maybe a reprimand for allowing the terrorist to live another day. Next time, head shots only please!
12. Compassion
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.01.09)
When somebody like this Ricardo person uses the word "Compassion", it sounds like a four-lettered word
13. Was the person hit by the rubber bullets, or not?
Michael ,   Canada   (07.02.09)
This article seems to be lacking the essential piece of information on whether the person was hit by the bullets, or not. It seems to be indicating that the only offense was firing off to the side of the person, in order to scare him and stop him from resisting.
14. Yonatan # 11 you support war crime
Yossi normal Israeli   (07.02.09)
This what 42 years of occupation did to many Israelis, they lost completely the judgment of what is right and what is wrong like Yonatan # 11. He support a war crime and he even don't understand that he support war crime.
