Reinstate Lt Col Shalom Eisner
.
Opened on April 20, 2012
TO: PM Benjamin NetanyahuDefense Minister Ehud BarakIDF Chief of Staff Benny GantzWe demand that you reinstate Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner immediately to his former position and rank.
Lt Col Eisner should be commended for executing his difficult mission and should not have been dismissed.
Hardly a newspaper, liberal media, or on the Internet/Twitter has missed the opportunity to condemn Israel's handling of the invaders i.e. Flytilla demonstration held in Israel last week.
Naturally, to aid the usual propaganda of the anti-Israel demonstrators, an edited video was immediately spread across the Net, showing the IDF soldier striking the Danish protester, but the video cut out the part that showed the demonstrator breaking the soldier's fingers. The entire purpose of the Flytilla was to undermine the State of Israel and its leadership, to provoke the Israelis, and cause as much trouble as possible in their goal to show support for the Palestinians. The Flytilla is the same type of demonstration that began with the first Flotilla attempting to break through Israel's blockade to supposedly aid "Gaza".
My suggestion to Israel would be to stop future demonstrators from entering their country for the sole purpose of disturbing peace within their borders. Those who manage to break through Israel's borders should be immediately locked up, given a prison sentence, and made an example to others who think disrupting an entire country is acceptable behavior.
Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner was fulfilling his responsibility to protect Israeli citizens. It is disappointing to watch on the sidelines, as Israel buckles to media/world pressure, by dismissing one of their elite soldiers in order to appease anti-Israeli sentiments.
