If you want to go about stabbing people, be prepared to die.....

and released by Obama, have returned to terrorism and have killed many people. NEVER leave a terrorist alive. He will come back to kill you. If Allah is so wonderful, leave the neutralized terrorist on the ground where he fell and see if he survives. If he doesn't, it was Allah's will. Israel is making a big mistake going after this soldier. Have we all forgotten the two soldiers who accidentally drove into Ramallah and were butchered, then had their bodies dumped from a second floor window, then had their bodies tied to vehicles that drove around town? HAVE WE?? Did we really forget the Muslim 'heroes' who dipped their hands in the bloody chest cavities of those two soldiers? Of the one Arab who boasted of eating the soldier's liver?! DID WE?? A soldier put down a rabid terrorist. Slap his hand and tell him "next time, just take him into custody." Don't make being an Israeli soldier harder than it already is.

Congratulations to the company commander for not being afraid to speak the truth, no matter how many right wing fanatics and their settler allies disagree with the facts. I wonder how long it will be before the right wing crazies being posting comments accusing him of being a traitor. In the past several years they've called the former head of the Mossad a traitor because he said an attack against Iran was unwarranted. They've called former Prime Ministers Rabin, Peres, Olmert, and Barack traitors because they support a two State solution. They've called the former head of the Anti Defamation League, who is a Holocaust survivor, a traitor and an anti semite because he too supports a two State solution and they have done the same thing to former Foreign Minister Zipi Livni for the same reason. If Ben Gurion was alive today he too would be called a traitor because he believed in co-existence and not being an occupation army. Those of us from all around the world who love Israel are glad that there are still people like Major Na'aman's in Israel, people who believe in the rule of law and not the rule of the mob. Hopefully, more people like him will not be afraid to speak out, to speak up, and save Israel's democracy from the right wing and settlers who are doing everything they possibly can to destroy the fabric of Israel's democracy and make it a pariah around the world.

So the shoting Soldier was the only One that noticed the threat of a still living moving Terroris ? Arn.Sweden.

Absolutely agree. We live in depressing times when so many people believe that problems can be resolved through the shedding of more and more blood. In the UK a member of Parliament is gunned down not by an Islamic extremist but by a white man who apparently shouted 'Britain first'. I'm afraid that both actions help to put their countries last.

There are a lot of heroes in this country. Elon Azaria is not one of them. Maj. Tom Naaman is! And don't get me wrong -- I have no sympathy for terrorists. And I even think the country should adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorists and maybe implement death penalty as is the case for nazi criminals. Having said that, I do not feel comfortable with the idea that an 18/19 yo prototype of a man decides to use his gun as he pleases when there is OBVIOUSLY no need to do so. I'm not a fan of a lawless society. Thank you, Maj. Naaman for your dignity. You certainly give us Jews a good name!

your present President feel like, but let us defend our existence! Spare us your sanctimonious lectures about pseudo-morality in the face of unmitigated EVIL called ISLAM! There is one Allah, one Islam, one goal: my death/your death. You decide what you prefer...

it's the right response to the pals who murder Jews. It also ends the message that any pal attempting to murder or harm Jews is dead. Israel should have the death penalty for all violent pals. If Israel had the death penalty, it may help reduce the number of Israeli's the pals murder.

it isn't the right wing who's murdering Muslims, Christians, and other religious minorities, it's the MUSLIMS STUPID! No diversionary tactics can erase that truth so, deal with that and end Muslim genocide which Israel has nothing to do with. again, IT'S THE MUSLIMS STUPID !!!

and so are the majority of posts rightfully applauding this Israeli soldier who made sure one less pal teen with a knife heals and comes back to murder more Jews. Laws are made and broken even Moses took a break. Until the Israeli's initiate the death penalty for all violent pals, maybe you should as well? War is what this is and war is hell especially for the losers namely, the enemy, the pals. KEEP BUILDING !! foreign laws or not.

True. I do agree with you that free speech is a beautiful thing. I also agree with you that laws are made and broken all the time. The question is if that is what we want: if we want a society where everyone gets to decide on whim or at the moment of a tantrum what laws to keep and break. By the way, I'm not sure when Moshe Rabenu, of blessed memory, took a break (?) He laid down the Law and upheld each one of them at all times. And when he did do something G.od had not commanded him to (rock hitting episode), he was punished very heavily for it.
