| Israeli Soldiers Punished For MOONING Palestinians |
| 2008-02-04 |
| The Israeli army said on Sunday that it had suspended several soldiers after they were filmed exposing their bare buttocks to Palestinians in the south of the occupied West Bank. "All personnel implicated in this unfortunate affair have been identified and immediately suspended from all professional activity," the army said, without specifying the number of servicemen concerned. "This affair dates to a month ago and does not characterise the values taught to our soldiers," a statement said. "It will be settled today and the soldiers implicated will have to answer for their actions." On Sunday the YNet news website posted a video, filmed and first distributed by a peace activist group last week, that shows two soldiers in full combat gear exposing their buttocks and a third flashing a victory sign with his fingers. |

| #14 They've been punished. They've been sent home (on what would be called a leave, if it wasn't punishmant). |

| #13 Punished? Seems to me the proper course of action is to yell at them awhile for being unprofessional and then take them out for a beer for showing personal initiative and spirit. But(t) that's just me. |

| #8 Let's start a rumor. Don't drink the water, the IDF has been crapping in it because they're not allowed to moon you. |

| #7 On the one hand, good for them! I agree its frustration. On the other hand, to REALLY do it right requires a loss of situational awareness. Thus, I would have disciplined them for not having someone on point while they were doing it... |

| #5 The Islamic calendar, like almost all primitive calendars, was exclusively lunar based. Isn't this a sign of respect? |

| #4 I didn't save the link, but Arab quoted remarks about this incident were bizzarely over the top, way out of proportion to the incident at least from someone like my perspective. I assume the mooning very severely pisses off the Paleos (that humiliation thing), which maybe explains why the Israelis did it. |

| #3 signs of frustration, I should say. The best way to focus an Israeli soldier is to put a gun in his hand and point him to his enemy. A rebuke to the leadership of Olmert. |

| #2 You've got to love the mental hardwiring of the peace terrorits (if terrorists are called activists, I guess activists have to be called terrorists, am I wrong?)... Blowing up oneself in a kiddie section of a pizzeria, or in a waiting line full of teenagers to a nightclub : tools of a righteous fight for Freedom. No need to dwell on that, beside, you're rooting for the guys who do that kind of stuff. Mooning your ennemy and doing a V sign : something that needs to be publicized, and shown to the whole world. People HAVE to know, that's so shocking! |
