Mmmm well maybe he was out of ammo... Either way he went above and beyond the call of duty, thus, medal time.Mutantsteak wrote:

Thats definitely not medal worthy but you know hes getting some ass with that story
Give me a scenario in which a medal is earned please.

I don't want to argue about a video where I can barely see whats going on. Give him the medal if he was protecting his comrade but other than that I bet he could have found a rock to hide behind, it looked like he was inched from the explosion im surprised none of the shrapnel got himdayarath wrote:

unnecessary? it definately made the fight come to a close really quickly, and it was a very effective way of avoiding getting blown to pieces.
a rock so large a human could hide behind it? you don't see that often, they were talking about bushes around the area- probably not a place in which you would find a rock so quickly you could escape in the ~3 seconds you have till explosion.Mutantsteak wrote:

Anything could've happened, he got shot in the hand by one of the other IDF guys, the grenade hit the soldier running at him and bounced back towards them, he dropped it, etcVilham wrote:
Coz seriously, why would the Hamas member throw the grenade at his feet and why would the soldier close on a grenade, moving from relatively safe distance to near suicidal range.
But that still doesn't address the fact that a trained soldier closed in on a grenade when there was no need. Then you need to consider if the grenade is at floor height the soldier more than likely would have suffered terrible shrapnel wounds to his legs unless that is one fat hamas dude with elephant legs.The Sheriff wrote:

i dont want to get into an argument hereDonFck wrote:
Hamas originally a political organisation, is listed as a terrorist organisation, but has been following the ceasefire of 2005, and hasn't been responsible for suicide bombings since 2004.
So when does one stop being a terrorist? (philosophical question) As they're "fighting for their own land", can they in their current action be called terrorists?
Long story short, I used a too strong word when saying "resent", but I do think they should rather be referred to as "soldiers of Hamas". Talking about terrorists about everyone with a rag on their head is just like calling all of us "westeners" infidel scum. Hamas are responsible for a lot of horrific terrorist act that can't be forgiven, that I can't deny.
So above statement corrected, I'll rephrase my comment to: I think calling them terrorists is unnecessary and translates in my eyes as propaganda.
..which it of course is, it's a war for crying out loud. The other side is doing the exact same thing.
Fact of the matter is, that not once while watching recent events in the (neutral) news here in Finland, has Hamas been referred to as terrorists.
