He should be charged for murder and found guilty. All this other BS of excuses and "Hamas and the PA are worse" is nothing more than deflections from the injustice the Israeli government imposes on the people they have caged up outside their front door.
Always the same "apologists" come to their defense for their calloused crimes. Are they paid shills on these threads? Have to wonder.

Israeli army charges soldier for killing wounded Palestinian [View all] WhiteTara Apr 2016 OP

The video is pretty damning....... Capt.Rocky300 Apr 2016 #1

Yeah, his lawyer said he was in combat mode. nt WhiteTara Apr 2016 #2

That's just it........ Capt.Rocky300 Apr 2016 #5

Ambulances were picking up the wounded.... Spitfire of ATJ Apr 2016 #8

it's only happening because it was caught on tape. watch the reactions of the other people Viva_La_Revolution Apr 2016 #3

Well, he was "just" a Palestinian! WhiteTara Apr 2016 #4

Israel doesn't surprise me anymore. Hulk Apr 2016 #6

What do you think the chances are that the Palestinian Authority would charge a PA soldier Akicita Apr 2016 #7

...and he'll get off scott free Hulk Apr 2016 #9

We'll see. Not sure many even among those who think he should not be punished would regard him as a Akicita Apr 2016 #12

Works both ways Hulk Apr 2016 #29

So because you imagine Palestinians woudl do worse, this is good enough. Scootaloo Apr 2016 #10

Good point. Hulk Apr 2016 #11

No. I am glad he was arrested and I hope justice is served. Akicita Apr 2016 #14

That's not the argument you actually made, though... Scootaloo Apr 2016 #16

Sure it is: "At least this jerk is being charged". Akicita Apr 2016 #17

Contrated with an imaginary "well the PA would be worse" scenario Scootaloo Apr 2016 #18

Didn't lower the bar on my expectation at all. I hope justice is served. I was just adding some Akicita Apr 2016 #19

What more do you want? joshcryer Apr 2016 #26

I want a logically consistent argument. Scootaloo Apr 2016 #27

It's consistent to say "I want both to do better." joshcryer Apr 2016 #28

Except one scenario is completely imaginary and untethered from the subject at hand Scootaloo Apr 2016 #31

I didn't say it was relevant. joshcryer Apr 2016 #32

the Israelis would kill him and his family WhiteTara Apr 2016 #13

Probably not his family and Iran would rebuild his house like they do for the suicde bombers. Akicita Apr 2016 #15

And then the PA would name a street or square for him as they do for the suicide bombers. R Merm Apr 2016 #20

looks like bernie is right after all restorefreedom Apr 2016 #21

That will still change nothing until the Palestinians and other nations are willing to do the Akicita Apr 2016 #22

There will be no peace in the middle east with Likud, Hamas and Erdoğan in charge. Crowman1979 Apr 2016 #24
