"Stipends" from the New Israel Fund who recruited and funded many, if not all, the "witnesses" for Goldstone.
32. 45 days? Might as well gave that soldier a medal.
ThatOne ,   Ottawa   (08.12.12)
That soldier was judged by a ridiculous Jewish system that does not even deserve to have the work justice in it. The psychotic Jewish solder will get judged again by God and over rule the lack of judgment from that excuse of a Jewish judge. How can they call them self the chosen ones when they don't even know right from wrong and half the population is psychotic?

There is a difference between the necessity of targeting an enemy that is embedded in a civilian population and targeting a group of civilians with white flags, 250 - 300 meters away.
34. #28-#33 The credibility issue
Tom W ,   USA   (08.13.12)
Many people who are following the events in Israel has noticed long time ago the leftist manipulations of the news. The newest trend is the selective editing of web videos- in order to besmirch the IDF and stoke up hate against Israel abroad. It would be redundant to evoke specific cases because there are plenty of anti-Israeli propaganda pieces made by the radical left to harm the IDF. The gist of the matter is that NOTHING is credible anymore, nothing can be taken at face value because of the hidden agenda of the left. Photoshop, video-editing, paid fake "testimonials" "sob-stories", "Pallywood staging dramas", victims at "wedding parties or funerals", no terrorists, only "children, women and old men".....do you recognize the list paid by foreign leftists? The sad fact that they are winning the propaganda wars. Terrorists blood on their hand are released, patriotic soldiers punished.
35. To: No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.13.12)
Let's see -- ignoring a very clear command to halt, and ignoring it repeatedly. Might there have been terrorists dressed as women, urging the group onward? Is it worth the risk? No. Not in wartime. Sorry. You, on the other hand, are welcome to take the risk any time you like, and go home in a body bag. No one will miss you; you're way too stupid to live, anyway.
36. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.13.12)
"Psychotic?" How would you characterize people who strap dynamite or C-4 to themselves and detonate in crowded places? How would you characterize people who cache weapons in schools, hospitals and mosques, thus turning them into legitimate military targets? How would you characterize people who slit the throats of a sleeping family of five? And how would you characterize people who rejoiced wildly and passed out sweets in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001? Do you think that those people know the difference between right and wrong? Do you think that those people are anything but craven terrorists, bent on the murder of innocent Jews? Do you think that Jews have the right to defend themselves against terrorist monsters? If not -- why not?
37. Is he kill cat or dog or less???
Yasin ,   Turkey   (08.13.12)

Many differences; let me start with these four: 1. The Jews were forced into the ghetto by their enemise. The arabs were forced into gaza by their 'brother arabs'. 2. The Warsaw ghetto was surrounded by the Jews' enemies. Gaza is blocked by a 'brother arab' country (Egypt) as well as Israel. 3. The Jews in the Warsaw ghetto were attacked because they were Jews. Gaza was attacked because they continually attack Israel. Hamas has sworn to kill all the Jews. (To you, a minor detail I'm sure.) 4. The Jews starved in the Warsaw Ghetto; they were forced to live there in ever increasing numbers. The arabs in Gaza are not starving. Their cities may be crowded, but there is plenty of land to build. 5. Et cetera... Are you playing stupid, or are you really stupid?

If this soldier has done nothing wrong? Why did he go for a plea bargain, and get 45 days in a hotel somewhere? Total denial is a symptom of Psychosis

He plea-bargained because he DID fire without orders from a superior officer. He could have thus been charged with something more serious than firing without authorization.
