1. So... asking to anihilate terrorists...
Jeremy ,   TLV   (07.03.14)
is a bad thing...?? Soon enough asking Israel to defend its citizens will be punishable by law!
2. We Want Our Soldiers Fired Up
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (07.03.14)
Fearless and ready to hunt down our enemies. This is the Jewish way
3. So what?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.03.14)
The prime minister works for the Israeli people. Netanyahu had better start listening. Or else the government will come down and the Israeli people will elect a prime minister who will listen. All you're seeing is about seven decades of pent-up rage and frustration at "palestinian" violence and terror. They've started and lost six wars. If they refuse to acknowledge the fact that they are a vanquished people, we need to drive home the point a little vigorously.
4. Have the guts to show your faces
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (07.03.14)
These cowards don't have the courage of their convictions. I don't rate them much better than the lynch mob stalking the streets of Jerusalem calling for "Death to Arabs" and hunting for young Palestinians to beat up and worse.
5. Art Tsonis on Facebook
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.03.14)
These days the real garbage is coming out of the California Institute Of Technology. Your posts are always a good example of that fact.
6. israeli army is becoming weaker every day
Ahmad ,   Ramallah- Palestine   (07.04.14)
israel is a country of threatning without actions bla bla bla bla, Palestinians are used now.
7. IDF Falls Further And Further Away From Being A Jewish Army
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (07.03.14)
8. The restraint of David
Galut ia ,   Selah   (07.03.14)
There will come a time for action ...let it be G-ds timing
9. Nahal Haredi = Religious Zionists. Real Haredim
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.03.14)
should thank G-d they're not part of and never will be part of this corrupt IDF army who care more for innocent terrorists being killed than for the lives of their soldiers and for the citizens of Israel.
10. #1 Don't laugh
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.03.14)
but it's already punishable by law. Several Nahal soldiers are already sitting in jail, believe it or not!!!!
11. criminal
David   (07.04.14)
To be ashamed of such conduct on the grounds that the "revenge" that the soldiers called for is somehow an embarrassment, is an embarrassment beyond description. The transparent attempt to kneel before international demands for inaction, is a failure not only to fulfill the most basic obligations of the state to defend its citizens-- but is a failure to defend the justice of Israel's cause, and will only embolden the hatred from which it stems. That said, the army is justified in policing attempts by individual soldiers to communicate with the broader public about its various activities and missions-- but to implicitly or explicitly communicate that these particular communications are problematic is to erode the army's standing.
12. 'Let us' is a question Yes/No is answer
Roland ,   london England   (07.04.14)
Point clarification should not warrant disciplinary jail sentences.It is because nobody in the German Army in World War 11 was able to raise a voice that 6 Million of us were destroyed in Concentration Camps.'Ve haf to obey orders !' was an unacceptable line of defence.So it should be today.A terrorist is a military man without a uniform,and should therefore be shot as one does a spy.Reinstate these young men,and do not make them 'martyrs to a cause'that is held within the hearts of many in Israel today
13. Prosecution for IDF incitement
Phillip ,   Sydney Australia   (07.04.14)
If Abbas were to do the same on his side, he would be the first casualty.
14. Ben Alofs #4
Robert Haymond ,   Teko'a, Israel   (07.04.14)
But you have nothing to say when Arabs hide behind their scarves and hoods. How come? Oh well, we know, you're a professional Jew Hater. By the way, why did you used to call yourself a doctor when you've never been more than a nurse from the Netherlands practicing in a clinic under a physician's command? So you're a professional liar as well... inGreat Britain?
15. One ignorant government!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (07.04.14)
Arresting these brave soldiers will only bring the moral of the Army down. A Coup d'état by the military should be in order. If the governmental leaders' refuse to protect the people, it then becomes the responsibility of the military. With such blatant cowardice, as displayed by Netanyahu, shown towards an enemy bent on Israel's destruction, there's no excuse for his actions (they are traitorous)! He has got to be stopped! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
16. #4 You prefer sock puppets from Hamas
Benji ,   US   (07.04.14)
Kidnappers and assassins of Israeli teens. Or maybe it's the masked sock puppets who fire rockets, then hide behind Palestinian women and children. Frankly Ben, we don't give a rats ass how you rate these brave defenders of Israel.
17. #2 Jewish way?
(07.04.14)
A US Marine who did not ask to annihilate a terrorist would be thrown out. Only in Israel are combat soldiers expected to understand and feel for murderers. Netanyahu is sick
18. haredim being jailed
chaim ,   jerusalem   (07.04.14)
jailing four haredi soldiers will certainly "encourage" more haredim to join the army.. I guess if they ever gave a Noble Prize for stupidity.. our military leaders would certainly win one
