this is so funny every new picture of this soldier the guy has on more and more bandages. give it a break buddy your guilty and its all on tape it doesnt matter the nationaly or what you were trying to do its what you did. i mean first theres nothing wrong with him in any of the pictures , all of a sudden his finger is broken probably because it got jammed on the m16 when he hit that activist the his whole hand is wrapped now hes wearing a sling i mean like common enough bulls***already be a man and face the music. then again everytime a jewish person does something illegal all of a sudden they are the victim they get all bandaged up and usually turn religious before the courts. you people are rediculous

Well Done Eisner - we need more like you - The anti - Semite needs to be dealt with severely and with a heavy hand...forget the cameras and the media...it cannot only be NEVER AGAIN....unless we upset the world...I am 100% behind the actions of Eisner!

Israel is full of people like him

He should be given a medal for restaint and be praised not vilified. Why does Israel castigate its soldiers? Why did Israel take the fall for the fiction of Al-Dura before any investigation? Just as Rabbis "accept" LOL that Jesus lived but he didn't stand up and fly away. Barak really can't believe what he says, it is just for media consumption, a ploy to smooth things out. Just as Arafat said something to the West in english and another in Arabic.

under same stressful situation, ita a tough place to live, and a krav mage magazine butt to the face is an alternate to a bullet. BTW in any other country these protesters would have been set upon by hundreds of angry violent police.

We all would have like to be there to confront those leftish who s only goal is to delegitimise Israel and the soldiers... Next time we should get cameras,go after the after Arabs and then film them...see how they like it...

Firstly, I cant see in the video what the article is claiming, and secondly see the clip below that shows what Danish police do to unarmed protestors. The Danish activist got a gentle kiss compared to what he would have got back home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpeiNso-Lqw

She came looking for trouble and she got it, so she started crying. Poor baby! Next time stay home with mama and your Che posters and your peace signs. In Israel she had her hair pulled...big deal. Wonder what the Egyptian police would have done to her if she had been protesting in Tahrir Square? Or maybe better not to know.

we need more eisners or the jewish people are done! if you ask me he showed remarkable restraint considering the circumstances. bibi and barak are the ones who should be out on their respective arses.

The video does NOT show Eisner attacking anyone. Despite the editing of the clip, it simply does not support either the claim of B'tselem, nor the headline. This is not great journalism -it's just Trial by YouTube - and Eisner was the victim not the perpetrator!

.....pandering to ynet posters to provide their kicks.

You are a fake christian hiding behind your Islamic taqiyya.

The time will come for all of Israels inner and outer enemies to pay....''He who curses Israel will be cursed!''

are not only occupiers, but also work under the authority of the sovereign Owners of the land. The land belongs to the State of Israel. The so-called palestinians (whether further described as muslim, christian, or aethiest) are non-existant. They are simply folks descended from those that were originally birthed in Syria, Jordan, Eqypt, Yemen, or other. The so-called palestinians are the "occupiers" and who don't pay any taxes (you should), and don't enrich society of the State of Israel.

1. "This soldier ...has on more and more bandages....theres nothing wrong with him in any of the pictures....all of a sudden his finger is broken...." Attempt to disparage the soldier. 2, "then again everytime a jewish person does something illegal all of a sudden they are the victim they get all bandaged up and usually turn religious before the courts" Attempt to disparage Jews in general. 3. "you people are rediculous" The person who wrote this apparently is very anti-Jew. It's interesting what one can glean from someone's writings and saysings; isn't it?

In the Daily Forward there is an 8 minute video showing the activists facing the IDF and then being given the signal to charge at them in order to break the road block. It was after the activists charged at the IDF with their bicycles that Eisner reacted. It also appears that his action brought the stand-off to an end. Villain or hero? Watch and decide. http://forward.com/articles/155090/new-video-shows-idf-officer-hitting-left-wing-acti/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Weekly%20%2B%20Daily&utm_campaign=Weekly_Newsletter_Friday%202012-04-21

burnt, then stay away from the fire...you came to my country to cause a disturbance, Ok, we didnt open with gunfirs...not even water cannons or pepper spray..you took that as us being a walkover...WRONG WE ARE NOT!!!! Lt Col Eisner, kudos to a defender of our homeland.

civilain police dealing with civilians and let them deal with these intruders, the way any other country would deal with this sort of situation. Our IDF is here to defend the country, not deal with a bunch of loonies who have nothing better to do with their time.

neighbors would continue bringing up all these videos etc...you are part of a media that will destroy our country, you are becoming worse than Haaretz. It depends but free press and democracy can take things out of context. You are Israeli media but we see so many anti things on this site... Too free can be destruction!!

REPLY TO NO.9 Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.dont judge Eisners actions from what u have read or been told so far away

The video doesn't evidence anything, except poor actors in a poor movie at the wrong place.

Col. Eisner is a pussycat in comparrisson to Danish Police. Check out on Youtube; "Chaos in Copenhagen" (demonstraters beaten by police) and see how it is done. Nobody talks about it, no Danish PM or President apologised and no policeman was fired. This tactic is used in ALL European countries, USA, Russia, Canada, Australia & other countries where protesters try to disrupt order or don't obey the law. Israel still has a lot to learn!

Of course it's wrong what Lt.-Col. Eisner did, but there is no outrage like this in the West when Arab terrorists kill children in cold blood.That's really sickening.

It's unfortunate the solders were not equipped with a water-cannon or stink bombs at least, as not to have to confront the deliberately provocative demonstrators directly. Hopefully, the commanding officers have learned something from the incident.
