If a war hero makes an ethical mistake, is he any less responsible for his actions?<br />2. If a country has a history of beating nonviolent protestors, does that make us any less guilty for striking one of their citizens during a protest?<br />3. If the said war hero had his fingers broken earlier in the day, does that justify his clubbing a protestor with a rifle butt?<br />4. If we consider ourselves moral, either because of religious beliefs or otherwise, is there ever a justification for striking an unarmed man when you are in a position of authority?<br />Respectfully, LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-52620895823151215932012-04-18T20:24:09.742+03:002012-04-18T20:24:09.742+03:00Jameel, you should post your comment about Rein hy...Jameel, you should post your comment about Rein hyd as a separate post. <br /><br />I am still astounded, since I first heard that story on galei zahal two mornings ago, that Eizner was not already famous nationwide for this act of selfless heroism. <br /><br />That he wasn't is either another proof of his values - this one being humility - or of the Media and the Army's unwillingness to recognize such heroism, especially when demonstrated by srugim, or both.HolyCityPrayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427375796402133238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-55372296239207268982012-04-18T09:55:48.867+03:002012-04-18T09:55:48.867+03:00David,

He was doing his job, though he may have over-reacted. The world loves dead Jews, and hates us when we defend ourselves. We were yelled at for defending ourselves in "Cast Lead" as well.<br /><br />Bringing links from 972mag, Walla, and Haaretz doesn't prove anything -- there are just as many links from those who think he didn't do "great damage" to the Jewish people. (Since when does 972mag and Haaretz represent the Jewish people anyway? Haaretz is owned by non-Jewish Germans with an anti-Israel agenda).<br /><br />Its unfortunate you rely on them for your news and opinion.

Due to the ongoing battles in Lebanon, the IDF decided not to retrieve Rein's body. After 3 days of ongoing battle, the Tank Battalion Commander, Shalom Eisner was fed up with the IDF's inaction -- he said its shameful that an IDF officer's body is lying in Lebanon for 3 days without retrieval. Under heavy fire, Eisner put on a flak jacket, personally took a jeep, and went into Lebanon to the battlefield where Rein's tank lay. Eisner personally, under fire, retrieved Rein's body, put it into his jeep, and he drove back into Israel.<br /><br />Eisner's conduct may not have been 100% photogenic, yet he is a war hero, an excellent commander, and of tremendous value to the Jewish people.<br /><br />Just ask Hagit Rein.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-30963538970056850772012-04-17T17:36:32.166+03:002012-04-17T17:36:32.166+03:00Eisner was endangering the Jewish People with his ...Eisner was endangering the Jewish People with his conduct here. <br /><br />If you Google him in hebrew, you'll see that he has a history of misconduct towards settlers as well.<br /><br />Other sites have pictures of him roaming around the demonstration swinging his rifle and smashing it on the back of someone who's retreating.SDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-62311913375567994122012-04-17T16:29:23.859+03:002012-04-17T16:29:23.859+03:00Darth: Agreed.
