Arabs in Gaza behave like animals, and Israel made Gaza into a zoo: walled off, closed, punished, given food and water, and boiling inside. Worse than even the master’s syndrome, Israel’s behavior in Gaza recalls safari or free-shooting range.
The IDF shot two Arabs who violated the standing prohibition of their Jewish masters and approached the security fence at night. The Arabs posed no threat whatsoever. The IDF soldiers only needed to equip themselves with night-vision goggles or turn on the beacon light in order to confirm that the Arabs are harmless. Arabs routinely venture into the prohibited zone to search for some waste of value to them or something to eat. The murder unmistakably recalls the Nazis shooting the Jews who ventured outside of the ghetto in search of food.
Killing our Arab enemies, many of them, is one thing, but the cold-blooded murder is something entirely different.



Good-bye!
B”h I’msorry, but didyou just say what I thought you said? You compared the IDF to Nazia?
Jews in ghetto didn’t have missiles or trained squads of commandos, and approaching a security fence at night under curfew can be a commando raid to kidnap another Israeli soldier,
you know, very little time to conduct a psychotherapy session into motives and intentions of someone sneaking up on you at night,
especially in Gaza, where they kidnap journalists who report about arabs sufferings, not mentioning kidnapping IDF soldiers
yes, food is growing right next to the fence, besides it’s the only place to dump waste to be collected later … at night , or maybe they had bus tickets to Tel Aviv
B”H This is what I was getting at. Your sarcasm was too subtle here. Or it could just be me who thinks it’s too subtle.
The Arabs were hundreds of meters away from the troops. The Arabs were on their side of the fence, not even very close to it.
Ben-Yehudah: There’s no generalization here. The piece is not about the IDF in general, but about a particular ugly incident. Some IDF soldiers - rare - indeed treat Arabs as animals. Such behavior is wrong, and I believe we’re right to condemn it.
B”H I see. Certainly I will not shed any tears over the “incident.” I wold be interested in hear more of the details.
Al pi halachah, IMHU, the entire people is the enemy, not individuals, and certainly not only the leadership.
If you are suggesting that the “incident” was irresponsible and a sign of lack of coordination and training, then I don’t think I can argue with that, knowing what I know about the “incident.”.
And, of course, this”incident” could have been prevented by the government finishing the job, shall we say, instead of battle and retreat for the last…how many decades now?
You have an important point. It’s often more merciful to crash your enemy and let the life go on rather than keep kicking him for decades.
