#1 Maybe they were (_*_) ing the peace activists. Surely they would (_*_) unarmed Palestinians.

#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!

#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.

#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.

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

#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...

#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.

#9 I'd say the soldiers were only honoring the islamic M(_*_)N god.....

#12 " have been identified "

One can only imagine with great distaste, the identification process.......

#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.

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