Feet Not Legs

Brian of London: I just finished a phone briefing with the IDF about today’s incidents up and down the country.

On the Syrian border the IDF had a three step process:

  1. Verbal warnings in Arabic
  2. Firing in the air
  3. Shoot specific protesters who touch the Israeli border fence in the FEET

In Hebrew the word for foot is a qualified extension of the word for leg so sloppy Hebrew can confuse leg, foot (and even toes). I asked specifically if the IDF Spokesperson meant feet. She said yes: they shot at the feet of protesters.

What more can the IDF do?

The other thing revealed was that when the IDF responded to a request from the Red Cross (Red Crescent?) for a cease fire to remove casualties (send in the chiropodists) some of the rioters took this as a great opportunity to attack again. Typical.

  1. What more can the IDF do?

    They can shoot to kill. Perfectly valid under international law and moral norms.

    Otherwise, if the IDF is going to foolishly spare their lives, they should at least aim for their reproductive organs to cull the next generation of Jew hating animals.

    I vote for the feet. That's one small step for expert marksmanship, one giant leap for podiatric surgery.

  3. I would identify and shoot to kill the leaders. The rest I would shoot in the feet. Lower leg wounds are no minor matter. About 50% would limp for the rest of their lives. No front line soldiering for them. As for reproductive organs, you would need your best snipers to hit targets that small even it they were uncircumcised.

    1. I'm pretty sure the "leaders" are hiding over the horizon so they don't get shot.

      The Syrians had just better be thankful that J-SOWs were not used… not that the Israelis would use them. Grenade launchers would be cheaper.

  4. A nasty guy like me might grab one of those pesky feral pigs from the West Bank, fill him up with enough C-4 to liquefy him, catapult him into the crowd attacking the fence and detonate him followed by several bursts from a flamethrower. They all go to Islamic hell and the deterrent effect is awesome from both a religious and "whoa" standpoint.

  5. They were just poor farmers promised money for being shot at. No need to shoot to kill. The IDF really is the most moral army in the world.

    1. If the IDF had shot to kill then there would be potentially hundreds dead.

      Needless to say that whilst video has poured out of Syria in regards to the protests against their government, including video showing people being killed. no such video exists for yesterdays actions against Israel. Why?

      The only conclusion that can be made is that things are not quite as they are being reported, that the figures of dead are inflated just like it clearly is for the wounded (now being reported as 250-300, were their feet glued to the ground?).

      The IDF spokesperson, including that woman they role out for the western media, were dreadful. Israel seems incapable of of effectively combating Arab propaganda.

      If they are going to continue to lie the Israel needs to be prepared, an IDF specialist camera unit is a long time coming and a satellite TV news channel is the bare minimum of what I would expect.
