Angry IDF veterans and other Israelis protest jailing of soldier
Jewish Press ^ | 26/3/16

Demonstrators waving posters, honking horns and yelling slogans gathered in Be’er Sheva Saturday night to protest against the arrest and jailing of an IDF soldier who shot and killed a terrorist who was apparently “neutralized” in Hebron last week.

The protesters stood across from Prison No. 4 on Saturday night, where the soldier is incarcerated, according to Israeli radio.

One of the protesters spoke with Channel 1 as other bystanders shot video with their cellphones, saying that he had served as a member of the Border Guard Police, and as a father of two combat soldiers,...

Israel has always prided itself on holding the higher moral ground against the savage (well documented) Arab peoples.

The Israel Defense Forces has a creed called “Purity of Arms” which means that even in the heat of battle, it is the IDF Combat's soldier's duty to remain as moral as possible at all times This is a Jewish value regarding the sanctity of life for Israelis and Arabs alike.

The Arab peoples are known for their cruelty and savagery. Even in 1916 T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia and a well known Arab lover) was quoted in the 1962 film as saying:

“So long as the Arabs fight tribe against tribe, so long will they be a little people, a silly people - greedy, barbarous, and cruel, as you are”.

Since Lawrence uttered that line (to Omar Sharif in the film) hundreds of thousands of Arab Muslims have died at the hands of their fellow Muhammadans, far more than in all their wars with the Israelis.

All across the planet, everyday, soldiers and policemen sometimes kill innocent people. Sometimes they do it intentionally, sometimes not. The world couldn't;’t give a flying turd about the many thousands slaughtered and tortured to death in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Turkey. North Korea, Iran, the Caucuses and in many other locations.

Yet a single Israeli soldier shot a terrorist after he was down. Israel has had to deal with terror in all it's forms since she was established while the world looked away or didn't care as long as these horrific acts were not committed on their territory. The world's double standard concerning Israel is beyond shameful and dishonest.

For the last 6 months or so, the average Israeli citizen, policeman or soldier has been subject to a mini- Paleostinian Intifada. The Arabs have stabbed, slashed, shot, run over and generally tried (and succeeded) to kill a Jew, any Jew, from an infant to the elderly.
No sane, modern, Democratic society has had to face these challenges like the Israelis. When any Jew is attacked, it is their right and duty to kill the bastard who tried to kill them. Everybody knows this and agrees with this statement. Last week a soldier seems to have “finished off” a seriously wounded terrorist. Technically, a moral IDF and state of Israel condemned it. Never, have the Arabs or Muslims condemned a terrorist attack, never. Instead, they pass out sweets!
They do, however, ALWAYS justify the act. It is difficult to pass moral judgment on the soldier because hundreds of times, Israelis spare these scum's lives only to see them resurface later and kill more Jews. Indeed, we look at how Belgium and France have reacted with swift acts bordering on human rights violations. Imagine France or Belgium having to go through similar terror attacks on a weekly basis. I can assure you that Europeans and Americans (who already do this) will shoot first and ask questions later. So let's stop the moral platitudes and defend the lives of your innocents. The soldier was preventing future terror attacks and sending a clear message - the Israeli public has had it up to their necks (where they are stabbed). While Israeli politicians do not have to board public transportation and risk death.

“Lawrence uttered that line (to Omar Sharif in the film)”

And what did Peter O’Toole do while Lawrence was taking over his part?

Lawrence himself was part of a massive fraud. There was no Arab uprising against the Turks except on paper. Peter, however, recreates the uprising that never was.
