Just cause she looks like an innocent minor
She must face the music for the crimes she has committed
How many people signed the petition for Russia to stop carpet bombing civilians in Syria?

she is a weapon of the active measures.

the real common enemy is the kremlin.

palestinians and israelis could compromise without the radicalization of such girls.

His Part 2 Article should be written and published, about extricating Israel from its politician's petrified and hysterical mistakes in this case.

Israel has Corporal Quartermaster. The US has Cadet Bone Spurs. Both tend to petrified and hysterical mistakes.

Why is that so hard? With all due respect to Yoram Yovell for his service and insight, why should an Israeli soldier endure that on a policing assignment that in the US, would get the aggressor face planted on the ground in 2.2 seconds? IDF needs to change its tactics big time.

Nor would she have done this against a 1950's or 60's tza'hal. Time to toughen up.

Although where I come from it's called killing them with kindness.

'Nuf said, 'nuff written.
Someone claiming "hate can only be defeated with love" (and in relation to the Religion of Peace& its practitioners) can be called all the names and be sure: they'll stick!

I count myself among the most fervent supporters of Israel. Of course, the author is right. Release her, and focus on people who injure and kill. This is nothing more than the most basic common sense. Grow up people! Learn how to integrate emotions and logic!

pugnacity, bellicosity and arrogance of power.We all know after all that a million Tamimis don't pose a real threat to the mighty Israeli army. Your problem is the same problem that faced the Wehrmacht, the Gestapo and the SS. Your fascist militarism, coupled with your condescending view of you victims will eventually bring down your state.

So is an appeasing professor & grandson of Prof. Leibowitz.

Together with this brainwashed girl, her parents should be detained for child abuse.

such an exercise would be totally futile.

the arab palestinians are indoctrinated from an early age to hate.
the tamimi girl is just an example of this indoctrination.

she broke the law, and therefore she must pay the consequences.
we are not dealing here with psychology or philosophy, but
with the criminal justice system
we cannot allow people to kick and slap soldiers who are trying
to keep order, which is their responsibility, without the legal
punishment for the act.

voicing your reasonable opinion.

I need a piece of cake and a nice cup of tea with some tender loving care. Am off to find a soldier or policeman to slap.

""Because an IDF officer doesn’t just have to be an officer, dear politicians; he has to be a gentleman too""..She should be taken without any delay to the home of the parents of the officer she slapped and should be seated on the sofa in the living room. His mother should offer her coffee and cake""

The above excerpts taken from the article indicate quite clearly that the writer is an inherent sexist and an idiot to boot.
If a male Arab had done the same thing to the soldier he would probably have been severley manhandled and even shot.
The fact that it was a very stupid attention seeking female is irrelevant.
The abuse both verbal and physical should be applied without deference to the sex of the perpetrator.
Israelis wonder why they have this constant low level attacks which then lead to the death of its citizens is because of its overt over arching humanity to those who do not deserve it.
The writer says that he was often responsible as reserve officer in similar situations thereby indicating a very rapid need to examine his past actions of a total inadequate nature for the safety of those under his sqeamish command.
Pathetic individual without an ounce of common sense.

In Complete disagreement with you!Maybe you should invite her to your home and have your mother or sister host her!If you had a son experiencing this, I hope your son will act on your idea. Completely ridiculous even if hate doesn’t help! We give them enough already! Bet this family received Government assistance and this is the reward to us feeding him!

According to the text of the law there is enough evidence to arrest much of their family. They encourage terrorism, stabbing, riots while explaining how to carry them out and often being involved.
From the Sabarro bombing to being the child face of Palestinians antisemitism, incitement and violence. Their whole family should be condemned not victimized.

Shame on the new Political Correctness which leads to appeasement like this.

That being said her parents should have been arrested long ago for incitement and child abuse.

If you accuse innocent people against whom you have no indicting evidence, they have the right to accuse you of murder and terror even though they have no evidence against you!

There is no greater power than forgiveness and Leo Tolstoy is very eloquent about it. This is an excellent commentary by the Professor, spoken with a powerful mind and from personal experience. I wish there was much more about love and forgiveness in the Tanah to convince the repulsive hot headers posting here.

are the new ones. He is not just anyone. He is the son of Holocaust survivors, Historian and winner of Israel;s most prestigious prize!

50 years!

Why dom't you ask the Jews to forgive the Naziz? Forgiveness takes place after the stolen goods are returned to rightful proprietor! Never before!

You can't make this stuff up. Professor Yovell, (heaven help his students) calls Israel's government "cowardly" for not degrading our nation over a petition! It is obvious Yovell is the coward. Try to imagine any other sovereign state allowing its soldiers to be disrespected because they fear a petition.

Israel needs to do the exact oppose of what fools like Yovell recommend. We need to deal with "Palestinian" poseurs as a strong self respecting sovereign nation deals with defeated mortal foes.

After decades and more of trying to murder Jews, your accusations are meaningless, worthless, fall on deaf ears. The only source of hate comes out of Arab's mouths, textbooks, charters, family $ payments, terrorist organizations. The Arabs wrote the book on hate. Your day has passed. You are a destructive ignorant society. Go live somewhere else, or live in peace. But decide and shut up. Israel won. Israel rules. Israeli laws.

others wrong. Besides, I don't really write to convince idiots and fools. I write for honest people, Jews and non-Jews alike.

thousands of female kids at Median!!!!!! A Prophet and rapist!!! I don't believe it!

I am surprised that there are people who think like this writer.What a pity. No wonder there is so much war all over the world. There are people like this writer who think its right and proper for someone to walk free after slapping a soldier. Its not about the strength of Israel. Its about serving justice. A pretty girl slapped a riffle carrying soldier and so all of us should shut up?. Let the law take its course. No one should be justifying violence in any shape or form and because a girl is not armed does not give them the power to slap and humiliate a soldier. This is like humiliating a whole country. Let the woman face the law. Period.

She slaps and kicks not a gentleman but an israeli soldier who first of all represents Israel.Therfore it is just like she offended israel .That's exactly she wanted to,she doesn't care about the soldier himself.Not acceptable. To be punished accordin the law
