After days that missiles were fired form Gaza, an Arab woman from the West Bank today, several hours ago, stabbed in the neck a female IDF soldier, while the Arab woman was on her way to Rachel's Tomb in Bethlehem. Other soldiers that were with this female sodldier, sew what happened and errested the Arab woman. The woman is 20 years old, and never was known to the IDF (which means is not linked to any terror group) and was never errested until today. The woman had on her another two knives and after questioning in the Shin Bet, she said she came to kill a soldier. This attack came after anaccident on Saturday when an Arab fired while standing near the new road conecting Beitin to Ramallah and hit Isreali ambulance near Beit El. A day earlier from the such attack on saturday, an Arab man opened fire on Israeli soldiers at Jordan Valley. Last week, an 18 years old Arab man, stabbed an IDF soldier in the back at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. Source: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4673967,00.html
So if they are legit military targets, then the people attacking them are as well. So its open season on West bank carpet bomb it .
of course, someone who attacks the military can be shot at. carpet bombing the West Bank would be a war crime....not that Israel cares.
sure.. criminals who attack the IDF are "the innocent"......an officer doing his or her job is " a legit target"....yea ok..
attacking uniformed military personnel is not a criminal act. there is a war going on, and soldiers die during war.
Well, if you want to be more precise about whom got attacked, then the one who got attacked was a female police officer from the border police. Does for you police is military? The one who want to joinborder police go through the military, but they are recognized as police officers.
do they work for the IDF? looks like the line between the border police and IDF is a very foggy one: "The Border Police is composed of professional officers on payroll and field policemen redirected from the IDF (men and women at the age of 18 can choose to serve in the Border Police instead of the IDF, serving 3 years as a border policeman is equal to 3 years as an IDF soldier). All border policemen receive combat training and in addition are also trained for CT (counter-terrorism), riot control and policework. Excellent policemen can specialize in some profession and receive special training to become snipers, buggie-drivers, dog operators, bomb squad, etc. Because of their combat training, border policemen are employed in unique areas, where there are greater risks for riots, violence and even terror. They serve mainly in the countryside, in Arab villages and towns (along with the regular police), near the borders and in the West Bank." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Border_Police plus they dress just like soldiers.
No. They work with the police, they only been joined to the border police through the military, that's all.
see above. they are not simply police who protect the border. their role does a lot more things, that other countries would have the army do. plus they look just like soldiers. - - - Updated - - - plus, armed border police in uniform are not civilians. civilians are unarmed, in every day civilian clothes, doing normal life things.
For you police is military? But still, if you say that attacking police officers are good, then also shooting the Arab attacked the officer is good and valid. Thus you need to be against when Israel took him (and her) the get medical services, and instead needed to be shot. Actually that attack was one from many more. There were already attacks on Saturday when an Arab fired while standing near the new road conecting Beitin to Ramallah and hit Isreali ambulance near Beit El, and a day earlier from the such attack on saturday, an Arab man opened fire on Israeli soldiers at Jordan Valley and last week, an 18 years old Arab man, stabbed an IDF soldier in the back at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. Also stones were thrown on Israeli bus with children, just yesterday 4 men got wonded, after an attack of Arab. Later on one of the men passed away.
As usual with the Israelis they attempt to blur the lines, the only thing you can be sure about is that they will claim to be victims! http://mondoweiss.net/2015/06/officer-actually-soldier
sure....... so they can be stabbed at random... thats ok.. long as the insane pali is not shown to be a murdering stabbing muslim is the only thing anyone should worry about.. Im so thankful the bigots of the world can spin this as "not muslim random violence"....
So according to you, if a woman/man go and attack police officer, then they not need to be punished and it is a legitimate act? - - - Updated - - - So according to you police is military?
total garbage... so a cop in NYC in uniform is not " a target for terrorism and does not live daily under terrorism"... they are robots?.. what total BS...
You didnt answer my question: So according to you, if a woman/man go and attack police officer, then there is no need to punish them and it is a legitimate act?
a military attack upon an armed police officer, during time of military occupation, is an act of war, and the attackers if captured should be held as POWs until the end of hostilities or other arrangements.
Oh ok, so according to you attacking police officers is not "legitimate military target", which means need to be punished about their acts. Basically you are agreeing with me. - - - Updated - - - No one is bluring lines. Police are not military, hence police officers are not soldiers.
