Last week 2,000 Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv in support of the 19-year-old soldier, Sergeant Elor Azaria, who shot in the head an immobile 21-year-old Palestinian stabber, Abdul Fatah al-Sharif. Gilad Halpern (host of The Tel Aviv Review), Naomi Zeveloff (Middle East Correspondent for the Forward), and Noah discuss what exactly they were supporting.
How glibly you dismissed the danger posed by a terrorist by claiming he was “neutralized”!
Were you there to witness the terrorist’s complete inability to act further, to try to kill AGAIN,
perhaps to detonate an IED explosive which requires little dexterity?
The act for which the terrorist was killed HAD already been committed and witnessed.
You delegated ensuring your safety to the soldier. If you now abandon him, Go try to remain alive in Ramallah (or elsewhere among the Palestinians) without his protection.
