Former Israeli soldiers break the silence on military violations

[sandinista! 1,816]

does anyone care to address the damn video? these former israeli soldiers are doing a big, important thing up there, in an attempt to own up to their misdeeds. but so far 98% of the posts are blubbering bbbbut what about hamas? like johann hari says, there can be more than one bad thing in the world. breaking the silence is doing some very important work, and i commend them for it. and call bs on the twerpy jingoists.

"If the Arabs lay down their weapons, there will be no more war. If Israel lays down her weapons, there will be no more Israel."

Would that be such a bad thing? Perhaps the remnants of Judea could move to better neighborhood.

They could eminent domain your property in NorCal to make room for the new refugees from the ME.

Too cold and wet. I was thinking Palm Springs, Sherman Oaks, or give them all of Florida. They would be among friends and relatives.

ETA: But a big fat ED check would be nice about now.

I think its good to expose soldiers when they dont live up to the expectations of the uniform but I fear that these soldiers stories of injustice wont be put into perspective and used as a divisive tool. Hamas will have a field day with this, so is it really good to bring this to the public or should this have been handled internally. Off the bat I would go with the latter because I dont see the Israeli military as being corrupt.

Also I would like to learn more about the "neighbour procedure". How could this of ever been acceptable.

You don't trust the current American government, but you trust the Israeli's?

I tend to think that all large organizations are corrupt.

Well for the most part I do trust our military. I was all for military trails regarding Guantanamo.

You don't think this could of been handled internally?

You mean, keep it all a big secret so that the wogs don't find out?

I was in our military, and I don't trust them, well, except the guy to my left and right not to get me killed.

I have no idea. I was just responding to your point about corruption.

How do you want the prisoners at Guantanamo brought to justice?
