Two things. Eisner did nothing wrong. His reaction was far more mild than anything Las would have experienced from police or army anywhere in the world for similar provocation. If there was a media trap, Netanyahu, Barak, Gantz and Alon should have made sure that specially trained Yassam riot police were present, not a regular army officer. The fact that they did not send Yassam means that they wanted Eisner to fall in the trap. The way they immediately condemned him, before investigation is suspicious. This story is not much different then when they abandoned Shayetet to the IHH terrorists on Mavi Marmara.

Or victims of apartheid anywhere in the Moslem world

I have been reading the world press and their talkbacks section - 95% of the people commenting on this incident - are applauding the officer - they all write that if you play with the big boys, be prepared to be hurt and he and all is fellow provacteurs should stay in their own countries.... this was a 10 second clip from an arab tv.. they didn't show the officer being hit (they broke his fingers) and banged with pieces of wood and planks. I say well done to the officer - if the protesters were in Syria they wouldn't be alive to tell their tale.

So lets see the whole tape that the IDF got on video in that case. This should show how this Nazi caused this to happen. This was a Police situation not an army one and where were the members of the government while this was going on.

(Israeli SWAT), should have been the ones to keep order. Soldiers are for defense not rioting loonies that come to make trouble. Gantz will have to do what Barak (super idiot) says who gets it from an even more super idiot!

Under such provocation,its amazing that Eisner took so long to hit the Jew-baiting scum.What are we suppose to do-just stand there and let them insult us.They are Jew-haters and thats how we should deal with them.Either way the world hates us, so lets stand up for ourselves. I'm proud of the IDF and Eisner.

Sudan has nothing to do with what Israel is doing to non-jews and non-Israelis. Apartheid is openly practiced in Israel and the West Bank, not in Muslim countries Peter. You should be ashamed to call yourself Australian. Why don't you make alliyah???/

IDF: ‘’do not be yourself ‘brutal” in front of a camera!

The result of all this protest crap is that our soldiers will have to give milk and cookies to all the foreign provocateurs. The agitator should get a deportation notice to go with the stitches in his lip and Eisner should get a medal. If the whole world thinks we are bastards then we should behave like bastards and prove them right. How many foreign demonstrators are there in Syria?

Instead, IDF should call on soldiers to act like humans and not to use force unless it is necessary. What Eisner did was unprovoked and uncalled for.

I watched that video several times. No flying teeth, no significant blood. Why all the apologetic bull-crap? IDF needs officers more than it needs Danish protesters. Promote Eisner but train him to hit harder.

You own it.

Bewildered Aussie - you really are bewildered - you obviously don't know the first thing about apartheid - wait you do - what you lot are doing to the aborigines ..... Not in the Muslim countries??? OMG you really are a joke - christians cant have their churches, not in any Muslim country, except Israel - 10,000 (if not more) Syrians are being salughtered by their own President and army, the coptic Christians are being slaughtered in Eygpt. The armenians were slaughtered by the Turkish - havfe you ever heard of Darfur??? Now the North Sudan has a beef with South Sudan - good heavens man, get your head out of the sand.....

and not a Jewish one ! viva Israel !

peter , If you see the video, there were an palestinan ambulance there, but the foreigners were aided in an IDF truck! Many questions I have; 1) the Danish is legally in Israel? He is with tourist visa or businessman? He lives were he declare to imigration/ How does he lives and pays his bills, he receive regular payments? how long he will be permited to be in Israel harashing IDF? I remmember that ISM members support palestinian use of force. I remmember that ISM support gaza flotilla wich received money from denamark. I remmember Rachel Corie, Tom, Vitorrio - foreigners that put theirselves in danger and reputation of IDF. They should be deported at the first time that they didnt behave like tourist or businessman. For their own protection and Israel reputation. Where is Interior Minister now?

"...what Israel is doing to non-Jews and non-Israelis?" Do you mean having them serve in the Knesset, or as judges, or professors or doctors? I'm sure that under the real apartheid system, there were a lot of black South Africans who would gladly have switched places with those non-Jews and non-Israelis living in Israel. In fact, it's not surprising you're bewildered since you're obviously swallowing all that Palestinian agitprop. And, frankly, the one who should be ashamed isn't your fellow Aussie, but you for spewing such absolute b.s. in a public forum.

Things are changing...

He should have knee capped him instead of using the butt, leaving him to crawl away rather than walk

that when the want to enter Israel, they shouldn't lie about their reasons for doing it He entered under false petenses In any country you visit, Immigration will always ask "What is the purpose of your visit" Your buddy lied, resisting Lawful Authority

When you visit a country, Immigration always asks about the reason for the visit, he LIED

...if you want to see 'strong' images.

Making a mountain out of nothing because it takes the focus off the genocidal mursers like Sudan's Omar el Bashir and Syria's Assad. How disgusting are Israel's pathetic media and leadership to make a big deal out of nothing. The Swedish meatball agitator should be happy all he received was a butt of an M-16. The cowardly anti-Israel crowd target the Jews because they are so wimpy,soft and fluffy and always apologizing for nothing. I salute Lt.Colonel Eisner and despise the unJewish leadership of appeasers and defeatists. Israel needs to dump their effeminate leaders and drop the extremist anti-Israel propagandist and protesters into Damascus by parachute in the middle of the night !

and it was the "Palestinians" who first created an ethnic divide when they choose to target Israeli Jews for terrorist actions and expulsion - for the past 92 years. Shame that you accept such racist actions but you claim Israel's rightful actions towards security to be "racist" because they target the very ethnic group fighting us. Your comment is as stupid as calling the British in WWII racist because they're only targeting Germans.

Are you serious?? Copts are forbidden from many things in Egypt and most laws favor Muslims. "Palestinians" are 3rd class citizens in Lebanon and cannot hold most jobs. In Syria, only Alawites can reach high offices in the govt and the military. In Saudi Arabia, Black Africans are still kept as slaves even though the official law forbids it. In the entire Arab Muslim world, the word of a non-Muslim is less than that of a Muslim woman, which is much less than a Muslim man. And "Palestinians" demand an ethnic cleansing of Jews from an future State - a complete Jew-free zone, just as it was in 1949 after the Jordanian ethnic cleansing of Jews. I could go on and on but there isn't enough space to write all of the examples that exist today, which you seem to ignore.

and not the heavily edited sound bite your ilk are trying to pass as fact. Even seasoned lawyers have said such edited video cannot be used to convict a person in court. But it will show how Leftist animals act. Always does when the full picture comes into view. Remember the Mavi Marmara?

Here are 60 protesters descending on a small group of soldiers, leaving their designated protest area and entering an active busy roadway. Eisner was clearly injured in the video clip and it was clear that one of the protesters shoved his bike at him. The Danish twit confronted Eisner and refused several orders to move back. I've seen worse, for less, at Occupy Oakland and WTO meetings. The unedited video will show much more of the provocation by ISM'ers. If you were indeed in the army, and I know you were, you'd know the provocations that ISM'ers are known for.

If IDF has a problem to be caught on camera, there is an easy way out - return to Israel, don't serve the illegal settlers on stolen land. Israel cries a victim but show me any other democratic country occupying other nation. US had the same problem in Iraq, now they face it in Afghanistan. The problem is not what sometimes appears on TV, but what is Israel doing for many years. No hasbara leaflets can change it. If I am wrong - let IDF publish all the footage of their operations in Palestinian villages. I am afraid that all the ISM-Palestinian videos are fairy tales next to it...
