Givati Brigade Commander: The Palestinians Have Different Values Than We Do


(Maariv International) Amir Buhbut - Col. Eyal Eisenberg commands the Givati Brigade, which lost six members last week in an APC explosion in Gaza. "In the midst of this operation, we assisted a Palestinian baby being born and evacuated an elderly woman who was injured and summoned a local ambulance for her. Terrorists ran and fired from behind the ambulance. Therefore, I do not want to make any comparison between our scale of values and theirs. If my soldiers can assist a Palestinian woman giving birth when six of their comrades have been blown to bits in the street but, at the same time, they fire at us from behind an ambulance, you must understand that we are at opposite ends of the scales of values."
