That is not what I am saying, though, given that this was your response, I kind of doubt you are even bothering to read what I am saying.
Israeli soldiers you are likely referring to were arrested and charged. Some ultra-nationalists did indeed attempt to break into the relevant military base, which got them condemned by Netanyahu.
Where did you post them? Not in our discussion!I posted the videos. You ignored them.

In the other video, I zoomed in as far as possible and couldn't find the shooter. I understand an assumption that the shooter is an Israeli soldier. If so, he should be court-martialed and executed. But there is no reason to believe that he is typical of the IDF.
Some time after the man is shot, and after the white flag is gone, someone is seen at the opposite end of the street from which the first shooting came, and that person fires some shots. The image is so poor that the clothes on this person cannot be distinguished.
I make the assumption that the event is not staged for a camera. I also assume that the group with the white flag aren't Palestinians who oppose Hamas or being shot for other "crimes", as in these two articles
Hamas executes five Palestinians in Gaza, two for Israel ties
Two men were executed for ‘collaboration with Israel’ while three others were convicted of murder.www.aljazeera.com
No, it doesn't mean that. Has the individual who did the shooting been identified?The IDF isn't doing that. That means the IDF de facto allows such shootings.

Yet you give Israeli soldiers a pass for gunning down civilians who weren’t any threat.
Condemned so much the Israeli government leaders who supported those rioters are still in his cabinet.
I agree with the laws of armed conflict, which correctly consider the force that militarizes a civilian position responsible for securing civilian personnel and cultural heritage in that position and any damage to the same that results, and such correctly consider those who engage in perfidy responsible for the results.
The reason why the Laws of Armed Conflict so strongly condemn perfidy like that is because it strips protection from the groups who are being mimicked. You aren't supposed to use ambulances to move soldiers and weapons because that forces the opposition to start shooting ambulances. You aren't supposed to hide as civilians because that forces the opposition to start shooting people who present as civilians. You aren't supposed to fake surrenders in order to initiate an ambush because that forces them to start shooting people who are presenting with an intent to surrender.
The Laws of Armed Conflict correctly consider the force that commits perfidy responsible for the resulting stripping of protections from the civilians they mimic.
This isn't about me "giving Israeli soldiers a pass". This is about you refusing to acknowledge HAMAS' actual war crimes, and attempting to blame Israel for them instead, because you apparently don't know the relevant law and haven't thought through the actual scenario in question.
Yes, he did not deliberately destroy his own coalition government over it.
That may be going a bit far. How often does it happen (source)?It would be pretty easy to identify in any unit in the area and conduct an investigation. The Israelis have instead routinely given shootings of Palestinian civilians passes.

How often do you claim it happens "routinely?"How many times is acceptable?

Netanyahu staying out of prison is more important than getting people who think Israeli soldiers should rape detainees out of office.
Oh, you think this is over? Yeah it is one for the history books, trump drops bombs on Iran in an act of war.We do what needs to be done. Israel did all the work. We dropped the bomb that finished the job. A job well done. This is one for the history books.
Do you have a clue how many times attacks have been ordered by previous presidents from both parties?Oh, you think this is over? Yeah it is one for the history books, trump drops bombs on Iran in an act of war.
No,I have no idea, you have a number? Local, all over the country local? You have video or picture proof or an article from a news source?Do you have a clue how many times attacks have been ordered by previous presidents from both parties?
Of course it is not over. The terror organizations will continue the reign of terror. We have so called local protestors burning and looting right here in this country. Even setting people on fire. We will always have to fight evil. I understand this.
Gonna just ignore that you were blaming HAMAS' war crimes on the IDF, huh?
Got it.Demand accountability for one side, but not the other, while accusing others of doing the same thing.
Unless you happen to be a particularly (willing to die for it) pacifist, in the IDFs shoes, you'd be doing the exact same thing. Ask me how I know.
Last time I looked it up it was over 100 times. If you want to know as well you can look it up. I don't need to. I know it is common practice.No,I have no idea, you have a number? Local, all over the country local? You have video or picture proof or an article from a news source?
Ok, thats not good and the soldier that took that shot could and should be prosecuted. But that doesnt change the fact that Hamas started this war and is still holding hostages--many who have died in their captivity and not a peep about that from the Jew hating left.
The Framers placed the President in command of America's military. They never imagined that Americans would be foolish enough to elect a man like Trump to the Presidency.
According to Trump's Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon and the Supreme Leader has not authorized the resumption of a weapons program. This assessment is consistent with past intelligence reports.
It is quite likely that Iran does not want a nuke. Iran's bitter enemy, Israel, has between 75 to 200 nukes. (Israel does not publicize her nuclear stockpile.)
Under Trump's leadership, the United States committed a war of aggression based on Trump's assumption of what Iran may do!NBC reports, "Several members of Congress in both parties Saturday questioned the legality of President Donald Trump’s move to launch military strikes on Iran.."
Like the loyal lapdogs they are, Republicans in Congress fell in line with Trump.
How convenient.Last time I looked it up it was over 100 times. If you want to know as well you can look it up. I don't need to. I know it is common practice.
Trump Republicans don't want you to read this. Their only weapon is their stupidity!
They are so dumb they want to prove their stupidity!How convenient.
NBC reports, "Hailing the American strikes on Iran as a success, President Donald Trump said late Saturday that the Islamic Republic’s key nuclear sites were “completely and fully obliterated.”Trump Republicans don't want you to read this. Their only weapon is their stupidity!
