Tel-Chai Nation: TV anchorwoman faces disciplinary action for calling IDF soldiers "animals"

A TV newswoman who made denigrating comments about IDF soldiers who allegedly beat an Arabic suspect in terrorism, is now facing a possible trial:

Channel 13 anchorwoman Oshrat Kotler risks going to trial under section four of the Defamation Law and has been called in for a formal disciplinary hearing with the news station’s executives.

On Saturday night, while anchoring the news, Kotler referred to the IDF soldiers suspected of beating Palestinian detainees as “human animals.”

“When you send your children to the army, they are kids,” Kotler said. “You send them to the territories, and they come back as human animals. This is the result of the occupation.”

Following her statements, more than 2,000 listeners complained to the Office of the Second Authority for Television and Radio. Hundreds took to Twitter and politicians responded harshly.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by saying that he is “proud of the IDF soldiers and loves them very much. Oshrat Kotler’s words deserve every condemnation.”

New Right Party leader and Education Minister Naftali Bennett appealed to Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit to put the anchorwoman on trial.

“IDF soldiers are sacrificing their lives so that all of us, including Oshrat Kotler, can sleep quietly,” Bennett said.

He said the only “human animals” he knows are terrorists who murder children in their beds, girls who go for walks or entire families traveling on a highway.

“IDF soldiers are our children and our strength,” Bennett said. “Kotler’s words damage the reputation of the heroic IDF soldiers and slander them.”

This is a stupefying slander tactic that may have been used after WW2 and Vietnam, and for this Kotler should at the very least resign her position voluntarily, and not waste the public's tax money on her loathsome pseudo-reporting.

The Grand Mufti [Islamic leader] of Jerusalem,
in addition to becoming Hitler’s ally during
World War II, adapted Nazi genocidal theory
to Islamic theology.

He called on his Muslim brothers to:
“Murder the Jews! Murder them all.”

Other Islamic leaders used Nazi words like
“extermination” in referring to the goals
of Arab victory [against Israel].

“We [Jews] need not apologize about our successes.
We earned them, the hard way.

We need not be apologetic or defensive about
our power in America. For we have seen what
can, and will, happen if we abdicate that power.

Our history as a people demonstrates that
we need more power than others to survive.
That is one of the important lessons to
be learned from thousands of years of
anti-Jewish bigotry.

I am reminded of it every time I open one of
my poison-pen letters. We are not the Swiss
and our history is not one of being left alone.

It is one of constant victimization and repression.
Without power – indeed, without power disproportional
to our numbers – we continue to be victimized.

We should strive to enhance our power on every front.”

“Every current criticism of Israel – whether
made by Israelis, American Jews, or others –
is used by its enemies as part of an explicit
international campaign to delegitimize Israel.”

“Palestinians have learned the political
value of invoking human rights rhetoric.

Indeed, Former U.S. State Department official
Alan Keyes has argued that by changing the
terms of the Mideast debate from a political
issue between Israel and the Arab states
into a human rights complaint by occupied
Palestinians, the PLO has won an undeserved
political and diplomatic advantage.

Palestinian political organizations
now present themselves as human rights
organizations, and the media fall for it.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

The genocide of Israel’s Jewish population –
a population roughly the size of the Polish
Jewish population at the beginning of World War II
– is not an unrealistic nightmare.

Nothing today prevents it other than Israel’s
military superiority over the combined
Arab armies and terrorist organizations.

If the Arab armies and terrorists were capable
of defeating Israel, destroying its Jewish
population, and “reclaiming” ALL of current
Israel, there can be little doubt that
they would try to do so. Indeed, if any Arab
leader were militarily capable of destroying
Israel, but refrained from doing so, he would
be replaced by someone who would at least try.

,,,Although there are some moderate voices
within the Palestinian and Arab movements,
these voices are listened to only because Israel
is too strong today to be defeated totally.
