Not only was Elor Azariya slapped in the face, but every soldier with a gun. The message is they must, in the middle of battle, stop and think what some idiot judge will think of their action.

Trump's mandate for the next four years should also mean a renewed examination into the behavior and actions of the media. The camera was always meant to share the picture, not create it.
