2. I.D.F. VALUES
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.13.17)
Where have these wonderful and vaunted ' I.D.F. VALUES" got Israel? Boycotts? condemnation ? sanctions and calls for isolation? This soldier deserves a medal ,after all he is doing his duty which is confronting the enemy ,and Betselem is the enemy.
3. " SOLDIERS' PROVOCATIONS?"
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.13.17)
And this B'TSELEM woman was as innocent as the driven snow ? give me a break....
4. CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (07.13.17)
These B'tselem troublemakers should travel to North Korea or, Iran ,and confront their soldiers and see what happens .
5. A GOOD MOVE:
GENERAL NUISANCE ,   SAFED MILITARY   (07.13.17)
Send young soldiers do the states' dirty work and risk their lives and then punish them . WAY TO GO.
6. THE I.D.F. 2017
MAJOR PAIN ,   SAFED MILITARY   (07.13.17)
The I.D.F. is merely a poor shadow of its former self , in other words it aint like it used to be. The I.D.F. was once tough ,daring and did not suffer fools gladly ,todays' I.D.F. has been neutered ,emasculated by ill-meaning lawyers and soldiers do not dare to defend themselves for fear of prosecution. Pray for peace because todays' I.D.F is not fit for purpose and would be defeated easily in any battle.
7. CONFUCIUS SAYS :
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (07.13.17)
" It is better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six ."
8. ISRAEL DEFENCE FORCES
STIGMUND FREUD ,   SAFED PSYCHIATRIC   (07.13.17)
Is the I.D.F. an efficient tough fighting machine ,or is it a politically correct social club for sensitive souls ?
9. I.D.F.
DR .PEPPER ,   SAFED MEDICAL   (07.13.17)
Israelis ,and particularly the I.D.F. , suffer from AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE ,in which the organism destroys itself by constantly attacking itself.
10. IDF SPOKESMANS' OFFICE
MOSHE DIANE ,   SAFED MILITARY   (07.13.17)
The IDF ' spokesPERSON " ( they dare not say spokesMAN for fear of being labelled sexist ) should have stuck up for this soldier ,should have defended him . By the way , israelis call each other ' Sharmuta' all the time ,it is no big deal. And any soldier in Hebron is at risk of being attacked and killed every second ,which causes stress.
11. Fine the soldier one dollar and give him his medal.

12. WHIPS AND CHAINS
MR KINKY ,   SAFED S&M   (07.13.17)
Prepare Whips .Chains and Leather for this soldier to be disciplined .
13. IDF SPOKESPERSON:A RAP
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (07.13.17)
Yo ,The I.D.F. spokesperson , she don't like no cursin' , this is for real ,no rehearsin' ,no you cannot shoot her ,nor call her Sharmuta ,which means hija de puta , a terrorist or a looter? cause we have had enough ,just make sure the soldiers punishment is tough , this lady aint no liar , betray and don't defend your soldier when he is under fire, the discipline must be firms ,for using abusive terms, IDF must be constantly alert ,cause words can really hurt .
14. ISRAELI SOLDIERS
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (07.13.17)
Israelis can serve in the I.D.F. confident in the knowledge that if they are not killed or wounded in action ,they can be sure of being disciplined by the I.D.F. should do wonders for the morale of the soldiers.
15. WHAT ONE MUST DO
JESUS ,   SAFED   (07.13.17)
Turn the other cheek.....
16. HOW TO TREAT THEM?
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED STREET WISE   (07.13.17)
Treat 'em the same way they treat you.
17. BALANCED OPINION:
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (07.13.17)
It is of course not nice for IDF soldiers ,in fact for anyone ,to use such vulgar language towards any woman ,that is a given . To call a woman a slut is not a nice thing to do. It is also not nice to film a person without said persons' agreement or permission ,that is a violation of their personal space ,and people are prone to react angrily to that . Realistically ,soldiers from every country swear ,use vulgar language ,that is to be expected. If I were to suddenly thrust a camera into a strangers' face and to start filming , I may expect an angry or negative reaction . This can also be viewed as threatening and provocative. B'tselem does not like the I.D.F. and I guess the feeling is mutual.
18. How dare he talk to betselem like that?
Yosef ,   USA   (07.13.17)
Of course he needs to be reprimanded.
The idf can only threaten and arrest without cause religious Jews. The more religious the more they are allowed to threaten them. Specially if they are hilltop teens. And all the more so if the are front Yitzhar. What chutzpah this guy has.
19. B'Tselem
C   (07.13.17)
b'tselem is an organization that routinely sides with the arabs against
israel and the idf.

unfortunately, the idf has become politicised by left wing activists.
calling an enemy civilian names is much less than an enemy
civilian stabbing, shooting, car ramming an idf soldier or
murdering israeli civilians, including children.
the arab palestinians use all methods of murder against
israelis.
they know that they cannot win, but they want to murder just
for the sake of murdering jews.
20. Interference during coarse of duty
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (07.14.17)
How can Israel allow its security officers to be interfered with during their performance of security duty?
This is an unprecedented attack on its sovereignty by individuals with malicious intent
We are no longer in the Obama era where Israelis need to bear their throats for cutting in order to please the intolerant president
If betselem where an unbiased humanitarian organization I might be inclined to agree with the need for restraint - but it is not and has a distinct agenda of trying to prove that Israel is a problem through provocations
