Fwd: Elor Azaria IDF soldier who killed subdued terrorist in Hebron convicted of manslaughter. My comments

Bsd

Not surprised.

It was obvious the IDF  convicted him before any evidence was presented but the military courts had to go through the motions.  Any decision to exonerate Elor Azaria would have been a slap in the face of commanding officers who already convicted him before any investigation. 

A soldier can not deliberate. He must make split second decisions at the moment. Many soldiers and civilians  would have acted precisely as did Elor Azaria. Many have come to his defense precisely because they can empathize and put themselves in his place. This conviction is political and the source is in order to weaken and demoralize the idf whose soldiers will hesitate now instead of acting without hesitation.  This conviction has now put a nagging question mark as per whether the IDF has their back.  It is a dangerous conviction since soldiers (and their mothers for that matter) will lose their trust in the IDF and those who make decision regarding their lives.

The public must call for the resignation of those officers in the IDF who pushed for manslaughter verdict They should be relieved of their duties since it is obvious that their military decisions is tainted by political considerations rather than security of their soldiers and the people.  

Will it take a tragedy of soldiers and civilians due to failure to effectively respond to reverse this conviction?

The Azaria trial impacts the chief of staff's tenure and the army he is trying to mold, and provides the supposedly obvious answer to the question of where the army's core authority lies.
Dror Eydar | It's all on Azaria's shoulders
Elor Azaria may not be a hero, but he should not be made bear responsibility for the IDF's Code of Ethics, Israel's foreign relations, and the increasingly politicized public discourse.

Dr. Gabi Avital | The 20-year campaign against Netanyahu

BOMBSHELL Kerry Audio on rise of ISIS: 'We Watched It Happen-We Thought We Could Probably Manage' It Jeff Dunetz

Bsd

Knowing the atrocities the Yezidis endured not to mention the subsequent  upheaval and threat of ISIS to the world, as a result of the fecklessness of the Obama Administration is sickening. 

It only serves to better appreciate the miracle of Trump's victory.  

We dare not forget that the heart of Kings is in the hand of G-d. May we be deserving of G-d's continued  salvation and may the Trump Administration be governed by G-d fearing people! 

Let us praise Hashem for having saved us from more of this evil and let us rejoice for the coming of age where knowledge of G-d will fill the world!

כי מציון תצא תורה ודבר ה׳ מירושלים!
Because from Zion will come forth Torah and the Word of G-d from Yerushalyim!

We dare not forget what we could have elected and not take it for granted that we were miraculously spared!

Fwd: 135 Police killed a 10% increase... Mike Huckabee Newsletter Jan 3 2017

The message you have just received was delivered by Mike Huckabee and includes a message from Huck PAC, his political action committee. 

Robin,

Pundits and statisticians are still combing over 2016 for countless listicles, but here's a sobering fact that shouldn't get lost in the crowd: last year in the United States, 135 police officers were killed in the line of duty. That's a 10% increase from 2015, and the highest number of police fatalities in five years. While many were accidental, the leading cause of officer casualties was being shot to death.

Those who are advancing themselves by fomenting hatred and violence against the police may try to deny any blame, but it's not just the blood of the officers that's on their hands. In emboldening those who would attack police officers and making their job even more dangerous, they've forced some police departments to reduce their presence in heavily minority neighborhoods. That's led to more crimes committed against the residents. Was that really the goal or just a horrific unintended side effect of an ill-conceived movement?

Sincerely,

Mike Huckabee

The Hits Keep Coming

By Mike Huckabee

And President Obama's executive orders just keep coming. In his latest flurry of last-minute actions, Obama designated several vast areas of land in the West as national monuments to put them off-limits to energy development (this also could cause legal problems for campers, ranchers and other local residents.)

The most controversial is in southwest Utah, where he declared a staggering 1.35 million acres of land to be "Bears Ears National Monument." The state is already planning a lawsuit, and Utah Sen. Mike Lee calls it an outrageous federal land grab and vows to lead the fight to reverse it. Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz notes that there was already a long-negotiated bipartisan compromise deal in the works to protect Bears Ears. He accused Obama of making a "midnight proclamation" that upended the process. One thing we all should have learned by now is that Obama looks at state governments the same way he looks at Congress: not as separate, sovereign governing bodies with constitutional powers of their own, but as a minor nuisance that can be safely dispensed with by using his pen and phone.

Help Rev. Brunson

By Mike Huckabee

As an apparently ISIS-inspired terrorist was mowing down scores of people in an Istanbul nightclub on New Year's Eve while shouting "Allahu Akbar," a Turkish court was showing an almost surreal concept of "terrorism" by denying the appeal of a North Carolina pastor and longtime missionary, imprisoned on bogus terrorism charges. His real crime appears to be his Christian faith. Over 143,000 people have signed the American Center for Law and Justice's petition to free the Rev. Andrew Brunson. That will now require an iffy appeal to a higher court. The ACLJ hopes that shining an international spotlight on this outrage will help.
