Top-ranking IDF Sadists - By Gilad Atzmon

We learn from the Israeli press that a criminal investigation has been launched against the soldier caught on tape firing towards a bound Palestinian. However, there is a detail the Israeli press in English is reluctant to share with us. The shooting soldier was not just an ordinary low-ranking infantry recruit, he was a First Sergeant. But it goes much further, the soldier who is caught on video holding the bound Palestinian detainee is no less than a regiment commander, an IDF Lieutenant Colonel.
In case someone fails to understand, it is a high-ranking Israeli officer who is caught on video holding a handcuffed man as a still target for the merciless vengeance of another IDF soldier. An unavoidable question pops to air. What are these people made of? Do they share any recognised qualities with the rest of humanity? Clearly, cruelty is deeply rooted in Israeli society. It may take two to tango, but apparently it doesn’t take more than two Israeli soldiers to prove to us all what Israel and the Jewish national revival is all about.
Seemingly, barbarism is deeply engraved within Israeli society and the Hebraic culture. It shouldn’t take us by surprise. It was that very barbarism that led to the uprooting of the Palestinian population in 1948. It is a barbarism that is fuelled by a complete dismissal of Otherness that has been maintaining Israel and Zionism since then.
Now when it becomes clear to more and more people that Israel’s days are numbered, some may like to take the opportunity and start to summarise the contribution of the Zionist revival to Jewish history or even history of modernity in general. Though Israel and Jews around the world are always keen to tell us about Israel’s achievements in science, technology, agriculture and the arts, I would bet that not much of it would be remembered as a legacy of the Israeli heritage for future generations.
On the contrary, in the long term, Israel will be remembered as a shameless disaster. Even if we manage to save Israelis from nuking Iran, a sinister mass murder they are really keen upon launching, we would be left with a story of a racist tribal society, an ethnic cleansing ideology, a gigantic wall that shreds the holy land into starving Bantustans, malnutrition in Gaza and the West Bank, torture and lynch practices. As Khalid Amayreh detected recently, Israelis are the Nazis of our time.
Yet, as much as we can see the Israeli crimes that are emerging daily from our TV screens, press outlets and even YouTube, any genuine historical scrutiny of the Nazi era and Nazi crimes is strictly prohibited. Consequently, I believe, Nazi evilness will lose its primacy, and Israeli will eventually grab the crown of absolute evilness.
I am fully aware that Jews, both in the left and the right insist upon telling us about Jewish culture being humanist and universalist. I better admit it, though I am fully aware of many Jewish humanists, I myself have never come across a single text that can be labelled as Jewish humanist or universalist. Instead, rather too often I unfortunately come across some Jewish tribal barbaric teaching and practices, whether it is in the Bible or Zionist preaching and practices.
Zionism was initially there to bring about a humanized Jew, an authentic ethical civilised being that is attached to the land, to the soil - all the while making peace with the rest of humanity. Though it is clear that project was doomed to failure, in the light of Israeli sinister vengeance, the scale of the failure is massive.

Note as well that they released the soldier who fired the bullet yesterday morning: http://www.maannews.net/en/index.php?opr=ShowDetails&ID=30713.
For sure, a soldier cannot be held guilty if his regiment commander gave him instructions. If I understand correctly, regiment commander said in his defence that shooting soldier misunderstood him. watching the clip, it doesn’t look as if commander was trying to stop the soldier…if anything he was holding detainee so shooter could hit the feet.
they are a bunch of sadistic creatures…..
Israelis take the top prize for absolute evilness? Well, they’ll have to share it with Americans (of which I am one, I am ashamed of what some of us– many of us–have become.) But as far as Israeli brutality goes toward “the other”, isn’t that what the Talmud teaches? And isn’t Zionism inherently racist? Of course, that wouldn’t excuse American brutality, but it is “funny” how so many American Christians totally disregard the precepts of Christ: such as love your enemies and turn the other cheek. and it is shameful how American Christians totally disregard the plight of Palestinian Christians (and Messianic Jews, for that matter!) under Israeli rule.
Anthony Löwstedt made an interesting comment about the origins of Zionism in his online book, Apartheid: Ancient, Past, and Present (PDF):
Because of the many wild ideologies that took root in turn of the century Vienna, it was described by Karl Kraus as “research laboratory for world destruction”. In his book The Founding Myths of Israel, Ze’ev Sternhell drew the fine distinction between National Socialism, Ze’ev Sternhell noted the many obvious parallels between National Socialism of the Nazis and Nationalist Socialism of the Zionists:
Try this experiement take pictures of Gaza the worlds greatest outdoor prison ie Ghetto……… the compare them with pictures of the Warsaw ghetto.The images are frighteningly similar.After doing this experiment one is left with the haunting question, will the zionists take the next step.Its a sickening thought to think they may have left humanity so far behind.
In fact if i was more tech savvy i would make a documentary….. i hope someone picks up on this idea…..
sometimes the worse shock tactics work.
Keep up the great work, Mr Atzmon, of mercilessly exposing the JAZI (jewish apartheid zionist israel) crimes … but keep it in perspective … JAZI is the mental abortion of USUK-Vaempire licenced to run amok in ME, but the crimes of the Masters (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.) make the Slave blush with modesty.
Here is encouraging message to Palestine Freedom Fighters from Iraqi Resistance (IAI):

… and remember … those in the Warsaw Ghetto who joined the Resistance had a better chance of survival than those who bowed the head before Gestapo Pigdogs.

Indeed, here is one more comparison to Nazi Germany, as our self-appointed thought controllers are always telling us is forbidden. Is Nazi Germany remembered for its inhumanity or its innovations? Of course, both, but the latter can never excuse or get completely out of the shadow of the former. Similarly people will look back on various Israeli accomplishments (and really, what does it say about Israeli laziness when you combine the best education and much of the money from all of the industrialized and much of the developing world in one spot and that’s all you get?) but within a larger context of Israeli depravity.
Maybe this first link applies to the lieutenant commander.

While I agree that this was a terrible and reprehensible act - one for which both parties involved should be held criminally accountable - I would like to point out one thing: a “first sergeant” is NOT “an ordinary low-ranking infantry recruit”. In order to achieve the rank of corporal and above - especially the non-commissioned officer status of Sergeant - you must have distinguished yourself in some way, as well as have served (usually) for some time. Remember, it is the role of the Sergeants in the military (particularly the Infantry) to ensure that all commands issued by the officers are carried out (the top brass tend to not enter the hot zones, and those that do are often found at the rear - First Lieutenants in Vietnam [U.S.], for example, when leading, often ended up with a bullet in the back … after issuing suicidal orders to the platoon).
A Sergeant will usually have the most combat experience within any given unit (even more than the lowest ranking commissioned officer), and be the “senior” individual in the unit - another reason to not consider them “an ordinary low-ranking infantry recruit” - they are entrusted with command decisions and the carrying out and execution of combat orders (in units engaged in combat).
Otherwise, great article.
