Not only Antisemitism. When I read “worked to get Israeli soldiers prosecuted for so-called ‘war crimes.”” I recalled another thread from today...”Yet my grandfathers were at least treated as heroes. Less than ten — seven to be exact — of all the Americans who fought in the WWII, Korean and Vietnam Wars were ever tried and convicted of a “crime during combat” according to United American Patriots. Alas, for veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, there has been a 2,943% increase in U.S. veterans who have been convicted of war crimes.”

from True Stories of Soldiers Left Behind (www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3265986/posts).

I think whoever is trying to take down Israel, has many years taking down America. At least 6 years that I am sure of. I also had to re-read that percentage, two-thousand nine hundred forty three. My blood is boiling. These are convictions.

When it comes to soldier conduct during combat....normal rules simply cannot apply IMO.

These brave lads are operating in an arena where insanity is the norm. We ask then to protect us by entering into this maelstrom and then we seek to prosecute them!? WTF

War is largely outside the norms of polite society...different rules apply...war is hell.

In Israel, combat soldiers joke about needing a special combat military liaison of lawyers as they move out on a mission...
This is a joke. Israel is not under the world's microscope but rather electron-microscope. No other Army goes out of it's way to avoid civilian casualties and despite this they are vilified in the worst possible way, every time.
