1. Israel - a loyal country
David ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.21.08)
Israel is a loyal country that releases child murderers like Kuntar and arrests its own soldiers for doing their job
2. Injured detainee
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.21.08)
Poor baby, I'll bet he cried when they put a Hannah Montana bandaid on his booboo. Israel is at WAR. How are they supposed to win a war if the enemy can get a police investigation every time a prisoner gets a hangnail? I am reminded of the video of the Al Qaeda at Gitmo crying like a little girl because U.S. interrogators YELLED at him. I personally know Israeli Jews, including IDF veterans, who were handcuffed, then kicked and beaten over the head with clubs at Amona and Gush Katif, far worse than this crybaby.
3. IL needs a Minister of Pali Movies and Kidnappings ASAP
Alan ,   SA   (07.21.08)
4. u know what?
Ivan ,   Haifa   (07.21.08)
just before two weeks a security man hit me with his gun in my eye. Two border policemen broke their wood pales in the foot of two comrades, one of them female, both them israelis. Another soldier broke the finger of a british friend. that's happened the same day, the total number of wounded protesters was 18. And yes, that's happens every week, but israeli media is never present, only international media. That's can explain why the international opinion is against israeli while israelis can't understand this fact. Because they see things u don't, even when you live here and they don't.
5. Respect Must be earned
Psalms83 ,   Selah   (07.21.08)
Whether IDF or Protester If this soldier did it he needs to be held accountable period ....if it is policy of his unit then the whole comand structure needs changing... protesters that are respectful usualy don't get hurt....throw stones and other things designed to injure...expect force enough to safely suppress it. and yes there may be some unwanted injuries which could have been avoided if the protestors had been respectful.
6. FOOTAGE???
MATTHEW ,   U.S.A.   (07.21.08)
WHERE'S ALL THE FOOTAGE, YNET???
7. Same old story
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (07.21.08)
Israel frees Arab terrorists so that they can kill more of us and Israel and IDF stops its soldiers from cleaning up the battle field from enemy targets. Why should I even be surprised any longer?
8. Jewish Terror
Sam ,   USA   (07.21.08)
Jewish terror caught on tape, pure and simple.
9. Once Again Until Caught Red Handed
Lev Bronstein ,   Moscow, Russia   (07.21.08)
Clearly the IDF commanders are giving their soldiers either a green light or direct orders to commit such crimes, as in this case the regiment commander was actually the one who held the victim as he was shot. There are no excuses for this crime, and it will be very interesting to see whether those involved get punished or promoted.
10. Kyle I hope you're from the Southpark cartoon.
Rob   (07.21.08)
"I am reminded of the video of the Al Qaeda at Gitmo crying like a little girl because U.S. interrogators YELLED at him." Seeing someone blindfolded, handcuffed, and shot at close range with a rubber bullet reminds you of "yelling?"
11. Oh boy - Kyle the macho blowhard from Colorado....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (07.21.08)
is back. No, Kyle, you IDF-veteran wannabe, regardless of what you think of the Gaza disengagement, which of course was a huge mistake, its not ok to shoot detainees with rubber bullets period. This isn't about a hangnail, Kyle. Now this could be one of those fake videos. But let the army investigate.
12. Horror of horrors --big toe boo boo.
AK   (07.21.08)
Israeli establishment is enraged over the injured toe of the Arab, but hides from the world in the black boxes the mutilated remains of the murdered Israeli captives.
13. Ivan, we saw a toe, frankly i get that much from tight shoes
AK   (07.21.08)
So those black boxes Ivan, your friends did it.
14. Why should we care?
Meir Weinstein ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.21.08)
The Arabs throw stones at Jews. They also set off bombs and give out sweets when Jews die. The peace now is doing us a favour by spreading the video. The Jewish People should be proud that some soldiers are prepared to face jail time inorder to explain to these Arabs that Jewish Blood is not cheap.
15. This is self defense, the israeli troop's life was in danger
Zak ,   USA   (07.21.08)
from this handcuffed and blindfolded Palestinain man.
16. other criminals
abu-shadi ,   ramallah   (07.21.08)
whah about other soldiers and officers witness the shooting and said nothing. when are they going to be arrested?? shame on you i srael IDF, INFERIOR DETERIORATED FAILURES = IDF punch of thugs .
17. And 1000000 other go on without tape
Salameh ,   Gaza, Palestine   (07.21.08)
But wait a minute the Just Occupier just stated that "commander will undergo questioning in the near future" what else can we wish for?? and the clawn blood-thirsy monster from Southpark CO thinks it is OK to shows a blindfolded guy because he is not one of his ilk!!!! Sooner or later Justice will prevail, and then .... you will get what you deserve in kind.
18. Risk
Edu ,   herzlia   (07.21.08)
Protestors: you are in front of an army who is in war. Believe me you don't know nothing about x's, and I'm not talking about music!!!!
19. Yesterday I got my finger caught in a door
(07.21.08)
But when I sent photos and videos to the AFP, they were not interested. W H Y ??? HELP Can anyone explain me plzzzz?!
20. soldier
sas ,   israel   (07.21.08)
the one that shot him belongs behind bars. the others around him that saw what was done need serious punishment.
21. Justice well done
Faraz ,   Meldreth, UK   (07.21.08)
I am utterly disgusted by the number of people on this board who condone this repugnant form of violance against an individual. Yell "crybaby" by all means, once you have your own toes burned off, you repulsive individuals. Protecting your country should not mean you sink to this utterly disgusting level. SHAME on you!
22. Ivan, #4
israeli ,   israel   (07.21.08)
don't you think that you can turn international opinion around by demonstrating with a bunch of loonies against you own state (if indeed you are Israeli). Besides, those who don't like Israel can taken their opinion and shove it where the sun don't shine. They never like us, never will. Except when we are dead. Then they feel sorry for us.
23. ive seen israeli soldiers throw bound bombs at babies prams
bob ,   london   (07.21.08)
this sort of thing happens all the time, its occupation people. Just like the americans and british in iraq, if you send a bunch of angry scared young men into police your occupation, and give them carte blanche to do what they like (the only reason the soldier here has been arrested is because of the video), some of them are going to act in a brutal manner.
24. # 4 You Know Else?
Bill ,   US   (07.21.08)
You can go back to Russia and protest how your government treats Chechnyans. Your British friends can go home and protest the war crimes their country has committed against the Iraqi people. People can think about the problems the rest of the world has and see that Israel isn't so bad.
25. When U use Army for police actions, both suffer
shneerhere ,   Chicago   (07.21.08)
When you use the military for police work, the military forgets how to fight, and the police victims are brutalized. Let cops do cop work, and save the army for aggressive action against the enemy. This is why you almost never see US Marines deployed for riot control (one exception, Rodney King LA riots... and a mistake)
26. Better to shoot rubber bullets
Marcelo ,   World   (07.21.08)
Amazing that this movie doesn't show palestinians hiting and killing to death israeli soldiers as they did with their bare hands . Avrahami and Novesche were beaten, stabbed countless times, their eyes were gourged from their sockets and literally disemboweled and dismembered with the palestinian attackers' bare hands. http://www.masada2000.org/ramallah.html These pals explode themselves, instead of using rubber bullets. Would you be gentle with guys like these who are actively trying to kill israelis as their life dream to reach heaven and virgins? Bless you, IDF, you are doing the right thing, protecting ourselves.
27. Take it easy..
Chanalua Tova   (07.21.08)
Give soldier a promotion; expell trespassers from Jewish land
28. They are too soft on the terrorist protesters!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (07.21.08)
Use live ammo and shoot to kill.
29. To Bill #24
Ivan ,   Haifa   (07.21.08)
Im not rom russia, im from Argentina, and why don't u say the same to dozens of immigrants who yesterday attacked a palestinian man in Carmiel in order to kill him because he was arab?
30. arrest him
jp   (07.21.08)
He makes us look bad and the military needs to send a message that despite how annoying and arrogant some palestinians are after they are arrested, we must mind our behavior after they have been subdued.
