1. This is one tough dude
Potash Katiftof ,   Safed, Israel   (04.23.12)
This guy was stabbed in the neck and kept focused and doing his job. So impressive. And the fact that he brushed it off like a scratch and got back to work a week later is seriously bad-ass. Nice work Mr. Weingarten
2. 100 cheers for Weingarten

And an example to all of us, and our children!! I would have done the same, if I had the misfortune to be in that situation. A very good man.

rahm ,   miami   (04.23.12)
bravo kol hakavod
7. Brave soldier, needless injury
Ari ,   Kfar Saba   (04.23.12)
He was cognizant of the fact that there was a problem before the Arab attack commenced. Had he shot them after they failed to obey his orders to desist from approaching, he would not have been injured. However, fear of being imprisoned prohibits IDF soldiers from adequately protecting themselves in legitimate acts of self defense. Our soldiers are not permitted to act preemptively despite correct intuitive feelings and have to wait for the attack to actually commence. Brave soldier but a needless injury.
8. what not charged?
Yisraeli   (04.23.12)
in todays world he might have been brought up on charges for murder and attempted murder because he shot at them whilst fleeing the crime-scene......Thank God the suicidal liberals found something else to play with. WTG chayal, thats how it should be only pity is you didnt shoot them dead as they were approaching you after you ordered them to stop. You would have been in your right to do so imho. But then with the courts in Israel today a victim may have to wait to be murdered before he can "react"......
9. Not Representative of the IDF's Moral Code
Benny G.   (04.23.12)
The actions of this IDF soldier are "troublesome" and are not representative of the IDF's moral code.

Benny G: "The actions of this IDF soldier are "troublesome" and are not representative of the IDF's moral code. " what are you referring 2? did you even serve in the IDF? what is troublesome is your post
14. # 9
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.23.12)
Would you prefer the soldier to have been killed than to have defended himself against his attackers?? What you know about IDF moral codes is dangerously wrong.
15. Listen Benny boy, we prefer living heroes,
