1. thin grey line
geroge   (02.17.16)
att:isencott ethical idf is good but there is a thin grey line between survival and death. the girl carrying scissor can maime a victim for the rest of their live. so killer her before she kills you is justified. what good is ethics if you are brain damaged the rest of your life??!! the russians would not have defeated the nazis if they had not behaved unethically. ethics would have seen hitler survive. of course the idf needs rules of engagement but in an all our terror war, israelis should be drawing their guns first as the knife is drawn before asking questions. otherwise israelis will continue to suffer maimings and killings. arabs have to know they will face gunshots if they try anything. behave morally yes but have idf draw guns first as they check suspects. that way they have a chance of avoiding injury. this whole conversation makes me nauteus. ethics from the haredi scholars who avoid idf service. what a bunch of cowardly bastards!
2. Decent words, Mr. General, one could almost say a "mensch"..
Dino ,   Switzerland   (02.17.16)
....as head of the Israeli army. Let's hope, your soldiers will take them a bit more seriously in the future.....
3. It takes two for Tango !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.17.16)
If the girls dont want to dance, they dont. Accept reality !. Arn.Sweden.
4.  LT .GENERAL EISENKOT
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (02.17.16)
The good General should zip it . He sita in an office and he is not on ther front line at risk of being stabbed each day.
5.  MORAL ,SHMORAL
CAPTAIN REALITY ,   SAFED HONESTY   (02.17.16)
There aint nothing moral in allowing some scissor -carrying young lady to kill you.
6. Like this is something new, general ,...
split ,...   (02.17.16)
They empty their magazines into the 13 years old Palestinian girls wielding nothing and getting away with it ,... Planting a knife next to killed by settler Palestinian teen that's another story ,...
7. You have a smart chief of stuff, but ...
Harri ,   EU   (02.17.16)
I don't understand why there is so many morons commenting in Israeli news sites. Worst way to fight terrorism is to spread terror. Those "one bullet will do the job" morons don't know anything about human nature or they just hope for more terrorism to full their empty life. Pictures of IDF soldiers shooting scissor-wielding girls is exactly what Jihad recruiters hope for. If IDF soldiers have never fought in a real war and can't handle little girls with scissors without assault rifle, they are in a big trouble when they face a war hardened Hezbollah.
8. What is wrong with the slogan ;
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.17.16)
when one comes to kill you,kill first? If fighting to win is unethical,,let foes have ethics.Judaism is not about when slapped on one cheek ,give in the other one. IDF go for complete victory , and sit back watching the scandalised media and useful idiots. With G.'s help.
9. IDF chief has the moral responsability
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.18.16)
to win the war and bring the soldiers back home in good health with G.'s help..
10. This babble about ethics caused Israel's defeat to Hezbz
ab   (02.17.16)
in Lebanon. Instead of shelling Leb villages,sources of rockets pummeling Israel ,the IDF chivariously looked for "worthy targets" an stopped as soon as Hezbz staged "civilian casualties", Eisencott hasn't learned anyting,he should be immediately replaced. In fact he was one of the Generals responsible for Israel's debacle then,wonder why he got such a high position
11. Eizenkot is Wrong
A Simple Jew ,   Beer Sheva   (02.17.16)
If attacked, kill the attacker. Follow US police rules: Empty the weapon into the perp's chest. I don't want to see a single dead Israeli or Israeli soldier because Eizenkot told him to hesitate. A scissors can maim or kill. Better that our enemies be afraid rather than us. This guys misplaced morality will get our brave boys killed.
12. Eisenkott values PR more than jewsih lives
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (02.18.16)
on his way to a well paid job at the labor party and getting nice eu funded invitations to slander jews who value their own lives more than that of the ones wanting to butcher us? A disgrace!
13. Speak for yourself
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (02.18.16)
any one carrying scissors for the purpose of killing or maiming any one should be fired upon. I know I would if threatened. KEEP BUILDING !!
14. How the hell do we manage such high percentage of Nobel-
(02.18.16)
Prize winners, with so many local, high ranking imbeciles holding public positions?! Already he's being quoted in the Jew-hating, European press.....
15. Delusional nonsense from a fool
Al   (02.18.16)
No small wonder Israel cant win anymore. The way its going and the way its being led will lead to its destruction. A gaggle of fools lead the country, and the people therein are too dumb and stupid to see the obvious.
16. I'd rather kill than be stabbed.
