Gadi Eizenkot tried to destroy the life of a gibor named Elor Azaria. Azaria’s two friends were lying in a Hebrom gutter after being stabbed by a Hamas terrorist. Azaria had been trained to identify potential threats such as suicide vests and Azaria neutralized the terrorist who had stabbed his two friends and tried to murder him as well. Eizenkot in an effort to turn this poor soldier into an opportunity for potential constituents (as he was leaving the military for politics) brought the full power of prejudice and military against this poor young man. The young man’s father had a stroke (R’L). And if it were up to Eizenkot the boy would have served a 30 year sentence for murder in killing the terrorist. That a commander would ever be held responsible …perish the thought! Middah kneged midda b’olam was never been nullified! I truly mourn the Eizenkot chayal but I believe something like this was inevitable. Mesira never ends well.The Israeli people saw the treachery and cried out!
