Support Brigade Deputy Commander!!

Support Lt.Col Shlomo Eisner!!
A number of Knesset members and others voiced support, Sunday evening, for deputy commander Shlomo Eisner of the Biq'a Brigade, in the wake of the Israel Defense Forces' investigation into a left-wing video showing his response to the refusal by anarchists to clear Highway 90, near Israel's eastern border, on Shabbat. Member of Knesset Michael Ben-Ari cited Eisner for doing what he said Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Public Safety Minister Yitzchak Aharonovitch did not have the common sense or courage to do, explaining that there was a real danger to Eisner's troops and adding that if a Jewish resident of Judea or Samaria had been on the receiving end of Eisner's blows, there would have been no reaction.
Knesset member Zevulun Orlev said it was sad to see an officer attacked for doing his job against people whose sole purpose was to discredit the state and the military, and attacked Eisner's critics for rushing to judgement. Chairman Danny Dayan of the Yesha Council of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria recommended that politicians who were fired up by the left not to get involved in military matters, adding, "Their appetite to crucify a senior officer who confronts a group of Israel haters is not clear to me."
