1. Absolutely NO PROBLEM HERE
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.16.11)
After all Hamas posts photo's of Gilad Shalit, with Hamas' men standing behind him,holding their guns at the ready, which is far more intimidating than the girl sitting & smiling
2. Ben, the problem is people in Israel don't
Ali ,   Scotland   (06.16.11)
have a problem.If the IDF is the most moral army why do you draw comparisons against Hamas?A bunch of ragtag freedom fighters with nothing left to lose.
3. Mozel Tov How Did The Justice System Become So
Wondering   (06.16.11)
Enlightened? A Harmless Stunt ?? By A Shanna Punium? Just Wondering?
4. so idf should copy hamas actions? does not justify behaviour
charlotte ,   uk   (06.16.11)
5. They should both be punished!
Talula ,   Israel   (06.16.11)
It's not what the IDF is all about and these Idiots give the rest a bad name. It's humiliating for these prisoners - I don't like to see this kind of behaviour,
6. Stop bothering our soldiers.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (06.16.11)
The Political Correctness Brigade, what a bunch of morons, these people have allowed bizarre notions of political correctness to overwhelm common sense. Enough is enough with all this crazy BS. Just who the hell do these maniacs think they are, don't do this, don't do that, don't say this, don't say that. They want to put the world into a strait-jacket when in reality, they're the ones who belong in strait-jackets.
7. Help Me Out Here
babawawa ,   new york, usa   (06.16.11)
Is it against military law to pose with prisoners? If it is, then prosecute them. What's the moral issue? She's obviously not hurting anyone. We're not talking Abu Grav here. As for Ali, well, I think sum up my response to you in a word: Syria. Good luck. We're the least of your problems.
8. #2 Ali, first you must consider
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.16.11)
That he IDF allows prisoners to see the IRC, obtain lawyers, Hamas doesn't Ragtag "Freedom Fighters" that attack School buses, in a well organized manner Ditto for the rocket barrages, hardly ragtag "Freedom Fighters" attack Military targets not Civilian Nor does the IDF use their own men, women and children as Human Shields, as Hamas does, and then go about bragging of how they do it Listen to Fahti Hamad, your buddy, he'll explain it to you, the Video is on You tube The question is “Freedom from what”; you have no history of ever having owned the land. What was its Capital, Name a major Antiquity, who were the last three rulers, where can I see some coins? I have many more questions; I don’t believe you can answer any of them, least of these rather relatively easy ones Ali, should be here helping out your side, instead of being in remote and safe Scotland
9. #2 ali Can You Compare arabs
Wondering   (06.16.11)
with hoods/masks showing beheadings of u.s. citizens, and jewish civilians having their Heads removed from their bodies. Then you have a Young Israeli women with a smile showing arabs possibly terrorists with blindfolds on and their heads are still attached to their USELESS bodies. Whats Immoral about that? I'll Tell You Nothing !!! Yella
10. Strange women !
Martin ,   Uk   (06.16.11)
This mad soldier said"we provided palestinians with food and drinks. We'd share laughs. We didn't curse at them, spit on them or touch them." how stubid and bad that is, she considering not cursing or spit on on them a great thing, she must not be doing this in any circumestances any way, this shows how much the IDF members morals are?
11. To number 2 Ali because they are not freedom fighters
Levi ,   Karmiel   (06.17.11)
Good try Hamas is a terrorist group by all countries standards.
12. No one cares. She did nothing wrong. But he they did
Levi ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
Notice blind folds and cuffs? They are not sitting there because they were good boys. No one cares about a few pictures documenting life in the armed forces. I can show you some the Arab Pals have taken with dead bodies of Jews and an Italian recently. And many others including videos of Arabs beheading people while hands tied behind there backs with a pocket knife. And we care about these photos? I think not.
13. #2 Ali- most moral yes, find me one that
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
Morality just equate to being taken for a sucker "Freedom Fighters" don't go around firing at school buses or kindergartens Try your morality shtick someplace else Freedom from what, the land didn’t belong to them in the first place Name three of its Rulers Where was the Capital City Where can I see some genuine antiquities? I have more questions, just answer these, it should be easy enough You sort off sound like that you want to be a “Freedom Fighter", when are you leaving Scotland to do your part ?
14. #4 Charlotte
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
The IDF didn't pose with the prisoners, a single femal soldier did it, do them no physical harm in the process
15. #5 How about punishing those in Hamas
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
That posed with Gilad Shalit as if he was a war trophy, standing behind him, with rifles at port arms, in a threatening manner ? Or the other poses, where he holds a newspaper, so the headline can be read, so that all should know he was alive on the date of the papers publication Meanwhile these Bozo's get visitors, IRC & Lawyers, Shalit get's exactly nothing
16. #10 Martin UK
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
Gee whiz, you've already forgotten al how the brothers of these prisoners bombed your Subways She took a photo; your guys planted bombs and set them off Hardly a valid comparison I almost forgot, how British troops boarded vessels with Jewish refugees heading for Palestine, water hosed them into submission, then put them in new British Concentration Camps on Cyprus And you have the nerve to talk about a photo ?
17. Facebook just brings you grief, forget it.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.17.11)
18. The Israeli double-standard
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (06.17.11)
It's terrible when Hamas does it, but not a problem when the IDF does it. The ignorance is amazing.
19. to #18
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (06.17.11)
Posting the picture on facebook was a dumb idea. She didn't do any crimianl act, but an immoral one. You can't charge Ham Ass for doing similar every single day either. And they do much worse than this. We call it freeodm of speech. Something that ME countries mostly muslim just can't understand.
20. #18 LebanonBS preaches EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (06.17.11)
So LebanonBS says that, since the IDF decides it is OK for it soldier to POST PICTURES, hamas should be ALLOWED to do the same. In this case, I urge the IDF to fire a GUIDED MISSILE at a school bus ferrying pali kids. That should BALANCE the picture and TAKE CARE of the "ignorance" that LebanonBS is soooooo UPSET about.
21. #10 - you mean, not spitting on them..is bad?
William ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
Dummy - she was responding to the accusations of twits like yourself, who see this one picture and create their own context. She did nothing wrong and was photographed AT her job. She wasn't abusing them, she was humiliating them. I doubt highly the prisoners even knew what was going on. Besides feel like they're in world of shit if they are guilty, they don't seem to have any expression except boredom. Wonder if those taken prisoner by Hamas or Fatah are given the same courtesies?
22. I am with Talula... UNACCEPTABLE!
il ,   Israel/ LA   (06.17.11)
I am Israeli and very very zionist but this behavior is UNACCEPTABLE! She needs to be punished for what she did. We are not animals like Hamas or Hizbollah... we are a democratic state. This is no acceptable and the world should know we only have few few of these idiots in Israel!
23. il # 22 Get a life, she did nothing wrong.
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.17.11)
We have US soldiers who make her look like an angel. What sort of punishment did you have in mind? A bare bottomed cane beating? An honor killing? You must be an arab, no logical argument, no logic, no brains. We take pix of prisoners all the time with their captors. She did nothing wrong, maybe you just don't like women, any women?
24. How does her pix make her 'immoral'?
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.17.11)
please explain, your post makes no sense... Immoral for taking a picture of terrorists?
