Watch: Azariya sentenced to 18 months in prison Sgt. Azariya sentenced to 18 months in jail over death of Arab terrorist. Contact Editor Arutz Sheva Staff, 21/02/17 12:04 Share
IDF sergeant Elor Azariya was sentenced to 18 months in prison Tuesday afternoon, after being convicted of manslaughter in January.
The head of the judicial panel, Maya Heller, said that "the act of punishment is difficult and complex. We will do what is appropriate for the accused. The most severe punishment of 20 years teaches us the stringency of the crime of manslaughter. The facts are as they were determined during the course of the adjudication. We will detail the various acts and decide the appropriate punishment for the accused."

Liberal fascists are now jailing patriots all over the world.
It soon will be time to put white feathers on our caps?
We must overcome them even if they jail our leaders.
More of the Israeli national suicide pact ...
Sad. But remember after late November the anti Israel Islamists’ controlled UN denounced Israel - orchestrated by Obama, “not for long,” Trump said/promised.
I think this was the high-water-mark for anti-Israel sentiment within the Israeli government.
The trial of Sgt. (now Private) Elor Azariya evoked strong sympathy for him personally and outrage against the fact that the trial was happening at all. I think that it led to the resignation of the Defense Minister, Moshe Ya’alon.
The right-wing Israeli public has been empowered by the election of President Trump in dramatic and far-reaching ways. This trial is the sad legacy of the old regime.
Lincoln Green, after the ultimate anti-establishment guy.

I don’t dismiss the emotion of this verdict, and if this was happening in the US, I’m not sure which side of the decision I would be on.
But, Azariyah arrived on the scene 11 minutes after the stabbing, well after the attacker was wounded and subdued on the ground after inflicting non-life threatening wounds on another Israeli soldier.
This does not sound like Azariyah acted in the “heat of battle” or felt his own life was threatened.
Am I missing something?
You are missing something. The attacker was moving, and he was wearing a coat. Many Israelis have been killed when a terrorist who is hiding a suicide vest underneath his coat presses a button that blows up the explosives and kills all of those people standing nearby. If the terrorist had been wearing a suicide vest he could have killed or wounded all of the soldiers who were there.
Good info. Thanks
That is what all the liberal peacenik fools ignore or refuse to understand! The guy could not be assumed to be harmless just bc he was wounded or on the ground — how many times have these terrorists blown up with suicide vests??? Many, very many times.
In the US, people may not understand this. But I am at a loss as to the failure of the Israeli army and the prosecutors to consider this. This is precisely why the case has aroused so much passion in Israel. Azariya is seen as everyone’s son here.
No, you are sane. Some conservatives feel the need to make super extreme pro-violence statements anonymously online. I guess it makes them feel tough or like they are doing something.
So you are both comfortable keyboard 2nd-guessers who think an IDF sergeant who sees an activist terrorist with a coat on (quite possibly concealing a suicide bomb as has happened many many times before), moving on the ground, who could be about to blow up a suicide vest killing all around him..... you think you know better than that IDF sergeant whether or not to allow the risk that the terrorist has a suicide vest and is about to kill everyone?
I happen to think the IDF sergeant deserves ALLLLL benefit of the doubt, that if he judges the situation to be dangerous he is right to “shoot first and ask questions later.” He may have only a split-second to decide in such a case, and to be wrong is to be dead.... and soldiers around him will be dead, too.
The fault lies entirely with that terrorist and those who incited him, encouraged him, enabled him, and allowed him and his ilk to commit terrorism. The IDF soldiers must make life-saving and life-changing decisions in an instant (sometimes), and should be accorded maximum benefit of any doubts about how they judge terrorist situations. You were not there!
Yeah I do. The man wasn’t moving other than breathing, none of the other soldiers standing around saw any threat. Apparently, the Israeli government agrees with me.
This was obviously a revenge killing motivated by anger, not a response to a threat.
Oh, relax ... I asked for any missing information and I received it— not from you, of course -— from you I received nothing but hyperbole and drama. (The other Freeper was, gratefully, very helpful.)
