Netanyahu blasted by Right Wingers and Haaretz alike. For Netanyahu, it's all about Public Opinion Polls and Political considerations. We agree with Haaretz on that point.

In the News Coverage and Analysis of Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the Soldier that Neutralized the Terrorist. by Raanan Isseroff

It's not that often that we see eye to eye with Haaretz but I think they were on the mark when they sized up Netanyahu's remarks to the family of the soldier as self serving meant for public consumption to appease those who agreed with the Soldierl.  According to Haaretz, the "examination" clearly concluded the soldier acted in a criminal fashion but in light of public outrage probably will be charged with manslaughter because of Netanyahu's intervention.  It has nothing to do with a fair and objective court hearing.  Whoever applies pressure on  Netanyahu the most wins and assures his position WINS!    We seem to agree that this is his major consideration?  Robin

Thank you Raanan Isseroff for sending....

At first this was the PM's decision: (6 days ago)
At first, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu harshly condemned the soldier, saying "What happened ... in Hebron does not represent the values of the IDF. The IDF expects its soldiers to behave level-headedly and in accordance with the rules of engagement."
But Netanyahu partially walked back his criticism soon afterward. Thursday, Netanyahu spoke with the soldier's father and said, "I heard the things you said, and as the father of a soldier, I understand your distress. I am convinced (the investigation) will be professional and fair with your son."

The judge reviewed the evidence for a long time, four hours, and wrote in a well-grounded decision his perception of the evidence, including his perception of the issues in the area, including the atmosphere in the area... and the prosecution should stop... causing injustice" to their treatment of the soldier. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with soldier's father by phone on Thursday and assured him that his son will be treated fairly.
According to a statement put out by the Prime Minister's Office, Netanyahu's said he understands the distress of the family, but that they should think that the IDF will conduct "the most objective and fair investigation of your son." The call, according to the PMO, came at the request of the soldier's family.
"I heard your words and as the father of a soldier, I understand your distress," said Netanyahu, whose son Avner is currently in the IDF.
"In recent months our soldiers have bravely and resolutely stood up in the face of terrorist attacks and murderers who set out to kill them. The soldiers are forced to make decisions in the field, in real time, under stress and conditions of uncertainty," he said. "This is not a simple reality and I'm sure that the investigation is taking the entirety of these circumstances into account. I am convinced that the investigation will be professional and fair towards your son."
Netanyahu urged the father to trust the IDF, the chief of staff and the investigation. "The people of Israel must remain united around the army because we have just one army and we have many great challenges ahead of us," he added.
Regarding new evidence which the IDF prosecution presented to back up the expected manslaughter charge, Rigler on Thursday officially confirmed leaked accounts that the shooter, when asked immediately after by his commander about why he shot the Palestinian, had responded "the terrorist needed to die."

Look at this: (4 days ago)
"I trust the IDF, the chief of staff and the investigation 100 percent, and I think that you as well should trust the commanders and the examination.
"The Israeli people must remain united around its army because we have only one army and many great challenges ahead," the prime minister added.
"I wanted to tell you heart to heart that all that you have to say,  say so within the framework of the examination – it is real, professional and fair. I ask you to understand this, not to think for a moment that your son will not get the fairest and most objective examination. I ask that you relay this to the whole family."
Earlier, an IDF a military tribunal ruled the soldier would face manslaughter charges.


And this: (yesterday) (Robin's comment. Please Note:  Haaretz calls the terrorist a "Palestinian man who assaulted other soldiers".  That whitewashes the fact that he was a terrorist!  Haaretz subscribes to the IDF's avowed "values" . We on the right consider  misplaced compassion on terrorists not completely neutralized dangerous to those on the scene of the terror attack and at high risk of attacking again given the chance!) 
Benjamin Netanyahu excels at identifying undercurrents that jeopardize his rule. When he does so, he is prepared to bend moral principles that lie at the foundations of the state. The prime minister provided an infuriating example of this faulty conduct on Thursday night, when he phoned the father of the Israel Defense Forces soldier who is suspected of killing a Palestinian man who assaulted other soldiers.

The story is playing out on three levels. There is an operational investigation, or field inquiry, whose negative conclusions for both the soldier and his direct commanders are clear. On the legal level, the defense and the prosecution are facing off in military court, over the Military Police investigation. And on the political level, there are rallies and expressions of support for the soldier from Knesset members and cabinet members, alongside assessments of the affect of public opinion polls on the popularity of figures in Likud and Habayit Hayehudi.

Netanyahu's first response to the incident in Hebron was to agree, if limply, with the position of the IDF Spokesman's Office, the chief of staff and the defense minister, according to which the soldier deviated sharply from the army's avowed (if not always applied) values. But as the right's attack on the IDF mounted, Netanyahu retreated and began to appease his voters. The method chosen was a phone call to the father of the soldier, a soldier who faces manslaughter charges.

As is his wont, Netanyahu hid behind his personal status — "as the father of a soldier" — to tell the father of the homicide suspect that he "understand[s your] distress." Netanyahu is not a private citizen acting as a parent, and the mention of his son Avner, who serves in an administrative position in the home-front base of a combat unit, is gratuitous, unfortunate and will focus the spotlight that the Netanyahu family generally avoids.

Netanyahu's words, ostensibly supporting the military and its "examination" — an odd name for a criminal investigation — are lip service. The phone conversation's content is less important than its having happened, which is a signal to the military prosecutors and judges, to the chief of staff and the defense minister. It is obscene political interference in a judicial process. In a panicked effort to avoid losing votes, Netanyahu is tripping up the chief of staff and using force to affect the charge sheet and the court's verdict. The prime minister, who regularly takes umbrage at being judged by the public and the media, has himself become a judge on behalf of the street.

Israel's citizens and soldiers have a right to expect Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon to stand up publicly for the military legal process and against Netanyahu's conduct. From the prime minister himself, nothing can be expected as long as political survival is his chief concern.

Mr. Netanyanu's predictable game plan by Raanan Isseroff Chabad4Israel

bs"d



Back the Jew verbally, and let the system back the Arab.
The Prime Minister is so predictable, that we can apply how he typically reacts to this scenario: 
Mr. Netanyahu's classic stance is ALWAYS, verbally back the settlers or soldiers, saying "lets let the courts decide". This is done to avoid having people protest.

The soldier or settlers are encouraged to let the matter go to court where of course they lose. (Oh Gosh- "Boo Hoo"...)
Then, Mr. Prime Minister is first there to say: "Oh well, I guess we have to go along with what the courts say..."

You see, letting it "go to court" makes it appear "fair". "Justice was served".
This allays protest efforts and demonstrations-

Meanwhile, there's a big media buildup where Mr. Netanyahu appears in the press and on TV begging the courts to act fairly let the soldier (or settler) win.
Defenders of the soldier or settler appear in the press begging the court to back the Prime Minister-

Perhaps the PM cries some tears...
As if- He, the mighty Prime Minister of Israel is powerless. He has no say in the matter. 
(Just as he does when there are peace talks)
When the reality is that he could put his foot down and exercise executive powers to see to it that the person is let off, or the settler is allowed to keep the house he bought from an Arab.

But you see Mr. Netanyahu never does.

Like when you go bowling? 
The ball is thrown, and everyone cheers on the ball as it rolls towards the pins.
There is what the PM is doing. 
He is the cheer leader- creating a cheering section to make it appear, that he's the leader in their cause! 
The chief of who is for the soldier or settler. 
As if to intimate, that really, this person has a fair chance in court.

Meanwhile behind the scenes, its really a stacked case.
The court predictably, announces its decision which is not a quick one, allowing the media to absorb any bad feelings of discontent or unfairness.

And there one sees that the PM changes roles. 
He goes from pretending to be for the righteousness of the act that this heroic Jew did to the cold bureaucrat who pontificates the victory of bureaucratic and political need. 
Nay! The victory of Democracy no-less...

After such a long waiting period nobody cares anymore. The decision comes out against the Jew and in favor of the poor Arab terrorist.
Nobody remembers what happened, nor what the soldiers name is. 
For in the interim, so many other of the same cases happen and other acts of terror which up-stage the issue. People are overwhelmed.
And so boys and girls, the matter is forgotten. Mr. Soldier gets jail and Israel gets another humiliation, while the Arabs gloat in glee, waiting for the next opportunity to help the Jews destroy themselves.

The problem of course here, is unique in that Israel itself has bought into the other sides idea that these are not acts of terror against Jews, but instead acts of legitimate resistance.  
As a  study by Penn State University  suggests that is unique about Middle East Terror:  "there are highly subjective views about what constitutes terrorism as opposed to ''legitimate resistance.''

Since Israel itself is highly sympathetic towards the theme of the terrorists, its made it doubly hard to counter terror.
For how does one counter terror if you yourself believe they are not terror but legitimate acts to gain statehood?

The problem is that terror in Israel against Jews is not like terror in other countries. 
In those countries, the two populations are basically similar and its a question of a balance of political power being sought.

Here, the terror goals are genocidal.
The Arab terrorists don't seek a balance of political power, but rather a total eradication of Jews from Israel (and Jews in other parts of the world too).
This crucial point seems to be lost on Israeli leaders who are so headily steeped in the death cult of peace.

So giving Arab terrorists a political bone doesn't solve the problem as it does in Ireland or South Africa.
Plus, since the issue has been turned from an illegitimate one of stealing Jewish land into a religious one, a political bone won't satisfy to end terror.
As well, as another study pointed out, the Arab terrorists are well funded and because of the above two points continue their war with outside help and have the capability to continue like this without stopping.

But Israel doesn't seem to recognize these points acting as if terror in Israel against Jews is the same as political terror in Ireland, Sri Lanka or South Africa where solutions for stopping terror have been to give the other side political power. As you can see, Israel awards terrorists Geneva convention rights, although they are out of uniform, not representing a recognized country and attacking civilians.
This sends a strong message about Israel's wishy washy position and sets the stage for more acts of terror.

We see that the US State Dept considers these very Palestinian organizations to be terrorists although Israel does not, and is trying to make peace with them!
  • Palestine Islamic Jihad – Shaqaqi Faction (PIJ)
  • Palestine Liberation Front – Abu Abbas Faction (PLF)
  • Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)
  • Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC)

Also thanks to Israel's confused position, Kahane Chai is also on that list- Israel shooting itself in the foot again.
