2. This is terrorism
reuven ,   Netany   (02.12.14)
plain and simple, if he was an arab he would be branded as a terrorist.
3. Six months??? Where is justice?
Cowboy Joe ,   Calgary, Canada   (02.12.14)
4. Why the delicacy?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.12.14)
Release his name, just the way the IDF would were the culprit Jewish.
5. Lives of pilots endangered
A Jerusalemite ,   j   (02.12.14)
This is or could have been attempted murder. Six months is not enough!
6. #4, How do you know the culprit isn't Jewish?
Jake   (02.12.14)
7. 6 months, how much off for good behavior?
Michael ,   Kokhav Yair   (02.12.14)
He would have received at least 10 years at hard labor in the States.
8. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.12.14)
His name was not released. What does that tell you about his ethnicity?
9. Anybody surprised
(02.12.14)
Zionists should thank G-d that it doesn't occur daily. These G-dless soldiers are up to anything. If there's no Torah, ther's corruption and lawlessness. If there's no fear from Heaven there's no fear from humans.
10. Doesn't like his work load?
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.12.14)
Poor boy, he should spend a few years making small rocks out of big rocks or else no food and water.
11. What is with the IDF?
Cameron ,   USA   (02.12.14)
Regular reports of serious abuse in the ranks, rape, formations just up & going AWOL, internal sabotage.......? ?
12. Critical
ik ,   USA   (02.12.14)
I'm certain that the defect would be easily determined from normal pre-delivery inspection procedures. But, as far as the perpetrator's sentence goes, his treason actions should be met with sufficient punishment that at least would include expulsion from the IDF and also Israel.
13. @2 and @4, you should get together some time.
blog2038 ,   USA   (02.12.14)
14. @1&2, hold your horses guys!
Doives ,   Israel   (02.13.14)
Firstly, the accepted definition of terrorism is the deliberate targeting of civilians, causing fear and chaos, in order to attain political goals. So let's say he did mean to harm the state, this still wouldn't be considered terrorism. Secondly, stop simplifying and generalizing. You have to look at individual cases, the world is not black and white. There are enough stupid young kids in the IDF who don't understand the consequences of their actions.
15. what kind of punishment is that?
m a kohll ,   zur yitzhak israel   (02.13.14)
and all he gets is 6 months??????????????????????????????????
16. The IDF is still......
Robert ,   Australia   (02.13.14)
.....the most moral army in Israel.
17. Justice Israel's style
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (02.13.14)
18. soldier frustrated
yoel ,   Israel   (02.13.14)
Why did he not complain of his work overload in the proper way- being frustrated does not give him the right to damage aircraft parts, and endangrer the lives of pilots- six months for this crime? why did you not pin a medal on him. The defence establishment should show cause.
19. #8 Sarah B
Avi ,   Israel   (02.14.14)
That he is Jewish?
