I relly do not care if some muslime terrorist CLAIMS that they were not treated with respect. IF the IDF is feared, there will be more peace. To investigate CLAIMED abuse of islimes is total BS and a sign of a weak army. If you want more RESPECT from islamic savages? Have them FEAR YOU, and THROW ALL OF THEM OUT OF ISRAEL. Bring the DEATH PENALTY to Israel, AND USE IT!!

You realize your suggestions amount to genocide and holocaust, right? What sort of Death Pealty would you use for mass populations??? Let's hear it Hymie "Himmler" Zoltveis! Unfortunately it is racists and fascists like you who give Jewish people a bad name....

It isn't about the "muslimes." It's about us. You probably didn't notice, in your hate, that two of the three admitted to the charges. We are supposed to be the best, to set the standard according to our belief in the values of Torah. We also need to set the standard in addressing behavior that is not acceptable according to our Jewish ethos, regardless of the alleged victim. If you don't see this, you're a very evil Jew and a sad role model for those around you.

The brave solders should be promoted not shamed....

How the hell do lesser beings like number 1 get published? I wont bother directing my talkback at that piece of slime, but at the "moral" administrators

you jews are so ackountable for your akshuns and choices. Impressive. We do not have that problem since we are not and have neber been a cuntry.

Force and intimidations are the only thing these savages understand. This weak leftist ideology that we must treat our enemies with respect is preposterous! Let the IDF do their great work and stop sympathizing with th enemy!

lynch people, kill innocent, pray for death, hate everybody including them selves... and you accuse idf soldiers of "abusing"?!! ynet please... where is justice here?

they bring false money to our land, use our food and medical supplies and that is their thank you. soldiers have done nothing from... even my family and friends say the filistins must learn to behave before they can make wishes!

enough is enough!!!

DONT LISTEN TO THE MEDIA!!!! DOWN WITH IRAN, DOWN WITH PALS, DOWN WITH EVERYBODY WHO MESSES WITH YOU!!!

I DO CARE, AND I CARE A BOUT YOU WHEN YOU WILL BE ASKED, YOU DID NOT HAVE A HEART TO FEEL WITH OTHERS. BUT MAYBE YOU LOST THAT HUMAN TOUCH OF FEELINGS, OR MAYBE YOU HAVE NO HEART. A DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU NEED THAT MOSLEM TO HELP YOU AND OTHERS. SALAM ,SHALOOM, GOOBYE.. .....FRIEND

I'm sure you have no problem when some Islamist makes a hateful talkback on this site, and surely not when on naharnet.com

If IDF soldiers have badly treated Palestinians it is indeed deplorable, but good to see that Israel airs its dirty linen in public. I have yet to hear of Fatah or HAMAS doing that.

Stories like this make me sick. We should be praising our soldiers. The liberals and sicko pacifists are making this world a sick & pathetic place.

Deal harshly with the enemy. Show strength. Abusing handcuffed prisoners even if slime is not courageous. The moral high ground is where the Israelis and Jews get their strength. We don't want to sink to their level.

I hate people mistreating others for no reason. Soldiers are trained to kill in order to protect families. I'd rather have abused palis then shot palis, don't you Amnesty and others? Nr.12 , there are brutal soldiers, but blowing up people in Dimona because of parent's divorce is justified? How can this be condemned and the suicide bombers treated as heroes and martyrs?

Israel is sinking with all its institutions into corruption, including the government, the IDF, military and civilian courts, and its society too. These soldiers are a part of this society. Israel is sinking deep into this corruption closing its mind and ignoring that they themselves cause this corruption, not the Palestinians or not Iran, or not the anti-Semites from all over the world. Whoever occupies, abuses his power, acts like this and whoever praises these acts cannot be considered moral. Israel's occupation transforms Israeli institutions and society into an immoral and a corrupt one.

SHAME ON YOU....FUYYYYYY!!!!

There is a dangerous trend here that whatever idiotic pathetic misconduct some soldiers get "distinguished" with (hitting blindfolded prisoner, provoking palestinian farmers with naked butts, stealing confiscated stuff, and now mistreating palestinian youths, all in a matter of couple of weeks), they get so much support here in talkbacks. Brave soldiers? does any of these actions strike you as courageous, heroic or in any way useful? How about the other soldiers that don't do this kind of moronic stuff and keep the high work ethics under stress and bad conditions? Shouldn't those ones rather be supported and celebrated? Shouldn't they be our sourse of pride, us that call ourselves a civilized morally advanced country? Or you are comfortable with being seen as a bunch of infantile spineless primitive savages? Would you like if your son comes home and says: mom, i am having so much fun, I beat defensless people, steal, and show my naked ass! I have a feeling I am on the right way to become that admirable mature person you can be proud of! In conclusion, you think that you are being patriotic defending this behaviour while in fact you are doing more damage to your country than you can imagine. Why don't you instead praise our army for exposing and punishing such a lowly behaviour among themselves, and trying to keep the standards high!

there are always regrettable incidents like this, if it is true, and israel, unlike the arabs and pals (with few exceptions) will try and punish them accordingly. The punishment will fit the crime. That same sort of justice cannot be found amongst the pals and in the arab world. Finally, at least there are many israelis who would apologize for wrongdoing. Cant say the same for the pals or arabs

All you people - #s 1, 4, 7, 8, 15, 22 - make me sick. Don't applaud IDF misconduct! It's against our military code of honor. The IDF should stay a moral army in the face of imorality, not stoop down to the level of the terrorists. What these rogue soldiers did was torture, no question about it. Beating someone when they're tied up with their eyes covered is inhumane and not fit for the Jewish army, especially after we were treated the same way just over 60 years ago. The Jewish nation has the power to fight its battles on the high ground without compromising its moral standards.

- unlike that stupid mooning story. We need to separate completely from each other.

any mention of disciplinary action against the officers in charge. In all three incidents, the only mention is of those commiting the acts. What kind of leadership does this battalion have and why doesn't Ashkenazi address it? That's where the problem of lack of discipline starts!

Eric-- If you would care MORE about Jews, Torah and a STRONG Israel, you would put aside your stupid, leftist Chairman Mao playbook. The muslimes have ALWAYS wanted to kill us---me and YOU. Liberalism is NOT a substitute for Judaism. I wish the muslimes NO HARM---just get out of Israel, and leave us alone. Hashem is quite clear: Try to make peace, BUT if peace cannot be made, DESTROY the enemy. Don't argue with me. Argue with Hashem and Torah. BTW, do you believe in Hashem (G-d) or Torah, or just Chairman Mao's Red Book?
