2. "indecent act" LOL!
john   (05.31.11)
coming from secular israelis who have no clue what morality means.
3. line between sexual joking and harassment is very fine
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (05.31.11)
And in true Israeli brash style, most men dont get the difference even when they are clearly told. The report is not clear as to whether there were complaints after his first punishment. If so, he should be dismissed. If there was only one set of complaints, it's going to be a close call.
4. More PC feminist BS.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.31.11)
They won't be happy until all the men are neutered or have sex change operations. I'm surprised they don't campaign for castration. Guess what? Men talk about sex, men think about sex, men joke about sex. Especially in the army. Enough is enough, really.
5. Question to Terry #4
R ,   Israel   (05.31.11)
So you'd have no objection if a female officer commented on how small your apparatus was?
6. may the female soldier is lying
roi ,   isrel   (05.31.11)
Unfortunately there are many false allegations made against innocent people. Perhaps this anonymous female soldier is lying. Let's not forget the Duke lacrosse team and the false rape at Hofstra University.
7. #4 It has nothing to do with 'feminism'
Chaya ,   Tel Aviv   (05.31.11)
This is not the way for anyone to behave! It is unprofessional and boorish!!
8. "Conduct unbecoming an Officer'
Bless Israel ,   United States   (05.31.11)
perhaps he should have attended a lecture on good manners? Some men abuse power, some have no business being in charge of anything but animals. This 'officer' appears to be one of them. Real men don't make snide remarks concerning anyone's body parts. Makes you wonder if he's insecure about his own manhood?
9. #4 and eventually men do sex ! :-])
Yossef   (05.31.11)
10. #5 R. Israel. Answer to your question.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.31.11)
I have a sense of humour, I can easily laugh at myself, I have enough self-esteem not to be so touchy. or over-sensitive. Do you honestly think that men do not notice women's breast size or the shape of their buttocks? Wouldn't it be somewhat unnatural not to notice?
11. Somebody please think about the children!
Daniel ,   UK   (05.31.11)
Doing it it it!!
12. #7 Chaya, Tel Aviv.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.31.11)
Yes, it's a boorish remark. So, are we to punish everyone for tasteless & boorish remarks? Should we have a Though Police to enforce politically correct thinking? And just who would establish the ''correct'' thinking? Self-appointed fanatics, humourless neurotics conforming to some ideological agenda, like Boshevik agents or the Saudi morality police? At some point, this becomes a totalitarian desire to control every aspect of life.
13. #4 Oh really?
Golda ,   Israel   (05.31.11)
How would you feel if you were a woman and someone told you your breasts had gotten smaller? We all know men talk about sex, and that's fine - pinching bottoms and being vulgar to another officer, is just wrong. Do you really hate women that much?
14. Insensetivity and crassness
Gideon Reader ,   United States   (05.31.11)
is not Seual Harrassment. Stupid yes. PC nonsense is ruining most entities. Sounds like an "indecent act" is caused by the insertion of feet into mouths. MP's have better things (I think) to do than screw around with make work for lawyers and shy souls.
15. Terry # 10
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.31.11)
If your a profesional or even just a decent person you will notice but you will also keep your mouth shut.
16. Problem can be resolved by...
Rabbit ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.31.11)
introducing separation of gender in the army.
17. to all talkbacks ref post 1
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (06.01.11)
Post no 1 is not mine-sounds more like Salma or Nour. I never use "lol"
