and may it be G-d's will that the young men involved in this unfortunate incident be able to pull together their lives. As to the rest...the system works and the punishments have been handed down. Nothing else to say.
2. 60 killed , 900 injured, 0 dismissals, since start of talks

3. Israel, Jews are a "middleman minority" not "model minority"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.28.14)
"The two are different in the fact that Middleman minorities also often have high degrees of social and political power that can partially to moderately influence and shape the culture and society of the country they are in whereas Model minorities do not have such power. Middleman minorities are also different in the fact that they have disproportionate representation in all sectors of the societies ranging from business to politics whereas Model minorities usually are only over-represented in educational and economc success. Model minorities tend to be much more isolated and subordinate groups that have little to no participation in their countries preferring to focus more on individual educational and economic goals while Middleman minorties have high-degrees of participation in their societies and they prefer to pursue success in all aspects of their countries. Lastly, the major defining quality of Middleman minorities is that they have some degree of autonomy and aren't completely subordinate to the dominant group of their given society unlike all other ethnic groups."
4. How different from the US Navy I knew for a Commander to
Rivkah   (03.28.14)
take responsibility for an incident. In the US Navy, the Commanders who were in charge when disaster struck in the Medical Department of the US Navy were always quick to say, "So and So BETRAYED MY TRUST." It was ALWAYS someone else's fault. Pass the blame was the game. Here is a Commander who admits to error, Lieutenant Colonel Ali Gino. My hat is off to him. It was sad beyond words for someone in his command to die from friendly fire, but wow, what a commander to ADMIT to being at fault himself. Wow.
5. Well said Rivka, #4// Condolences to the family.

Angela Merkel with the nations to make economic engines of the USA and other nations with her wisdom. She surely is blessed.
