No regrets' about killing wounded Palestinian, says Israeli soldier

[Ali Tariq]

Updated August 29, 2018

A former Israeli soldier who fatally shot a wounded Palestinian attacker who was lying on the ground says he “has no regrets” in his first interview since leaving prison three months ago.

Elor Azaria told the Hebrew-language daily Israel Hayom on Wednesday that if he could relive the March 2016 incident in the West Bank city of Hebron, “I would act exactly the same, because that's how I needed to act.”

Azaria served two-thirds of a 14-month reduced sentence after being convicted of manslaughter.

The combat medic was filmed shooting a wounded, incapacitated Palestinian attacker. Israel's military pushed for his prosecution, saying Azaria violated its ethics. Azaria says in the interview that the military “abandoned” him, echoing sentiments of many Israelis, particularly on the nationalist right, who defended his actions

You're not a "pathological liar" but it's fair to consider you demented for labeling an attacker as "an innocent".

We go back to the issue that by design of your government you are not to discuss and debate the issues here, only assert the position of the government of Pakistan, regardless of the truth or facts in context.

I've asked you before, what reason do you have to think that Israel is the rightful owner of the land? If you can't give a response, shut it and stop making such stupid claims.

Can you prove the world is a spheroid to a dedicated flat-earther? Not if he shuts his eyes while orbiting the earth. Your gov't demands Pakistani students subscribe to an anti-Israel narrative as a matter of loyalty to the State. You know what happens to people who challenge the Pakistani State's core narratives. Until that changes you are in no position to demand responses that you cannot acknowledge the truth of.
