Recommended: Explain the importance of the ten commandments among the Jewish

Do you think Israeli soldiers should be held to a higher ethical standard than other soldiers? Why or why not? I think Israeli soldiers should be held to a higher standard. In addition to being Israeli, these soldiers are also Jewish. In Judaism, we need to follow the Ten Commandments. This means not hurting innocent people. When Israeli soldiers see a Palestinian who looks innocent, their religion tells them to not harm them. This means that Israeli soldiers shouldn’t just kill an innocent person for land, they need to have information that the person they are going after has done something wrong. Only then you would be able to kill the person. List Three characteristics you think are the most important for a Jewish soldier to have.

    People will assume that the S.S soldiers during Holocaust who killed millions of Jews, babies, children, women, men, elders and committed more horrendous crimes are naturally evil, along with the soldiers who tortured the prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison and soldiers who killed almost an entire village in the My Lai Massacre during the vietnam war. But is it really that the soldiers who committed these crimes are naturally evil or they are put into a situation that forced them to be evil and commit war crimes. According to Smores an Iraq Veteran who committed suicide after the war in Iraq, twenty two soldiers commit suicide everyday because of the illegal orders that they were forced to do.

  • Anne Frank Ethical Questions

    503 Words  | 2 Pages

    I recently saw the play Anne Frank at the Stratford festival. Before the play began all the characters stood in a line introducing themselves telling us their names, who they played and gave a little anecdote about themselves or about their character. When the character who played the general got up to give his story he said that after war when his character was interrogated as to why he did what he did he said that it was only because he was taking orders. This brings up a very interesting ethical question. Should soldiers be punished for crimes that they completed while under the ordered of another?

    After reading the documents provided, I have come to the conclusion that the territory now called Israel and once called Palestine, really should belong to the native Palestinians. As a part of the larger international conflict between the Jews and the Arabs, the Palestinian current living situations has been the “fuse” that ignites regional conflict. The Palestinian refugee status has become an exceptional contribution to the conflict resulting in more violence in recent years. The conflict itself is rooted on the primary question of whether or not the Palestinian people should be allowed to form their own Independent country and government in an area that is currently part of the nation of Israel. The territory in question has changed hands

  • What Are Child Soldiers Doing Wrong

    1185 Words  | 3 Pages

    “They lack the mental maturity and judgment to express consent or to fully understand the implications of their actions,” (IRIN, 1). Most child soldiers start fighting at an extremely young age. Because of this, most of them do not know that what they are doing is wrong. “The Children and Justice During and in the Aftermath of Armed Conflict report says: ‘If a child under the age of 15 is considered too young to fight, then he or she must also be considered too young to be held criminally responsible,’” (IRIN, 1). If children that are forced to fight are not legally old enough to fight, they cannot be punished because they may not realize the magnitude or effect what they do will have. Even if they do understand that violence and killing is wrong, they have no say and can do nothing to get out of the situation. “Eleven-year-old Abu Imara al Omri kneels down to kiss his father's hand; a final blessing before the boy blows himself up in a truck full of explosives,”  (McLaughlln, 1). Child soldiers will do whatever the leaders want them to do. This could be because they are forced to, or they may simply just not understand what harm could be caused to them. As in the case of Abu Imara, they may volunteer to become a suicide bomber because they want to be appreciated, but they don’t realize what they are getting into. Child soldiers are too young to understand

    Child soldiers who’ve committed crimes should be prosecuted, no matter what the age is. Even if they’re under the age of 18 they still committed the crimes. And these children have been through a lot and being in a facility where it’s focused on making them better people would help the cause at hand.

  • Ethical Issues In Eye In The Sky

    543 Words  | 2 Pages

    Last Thursday March 30, I watched the movie Eye in the Sky. In the movie a bunch of different ethical issues were presented. The main issue or decision to make was whether or not the military would bomb a house full of terrorist. The problem in making this decision was that it would kill innocent civilians who were within range of the bomb. Another resolution presented to handle this situation would be to send ground troops to try and capture the terrorist. Personally, I disagree with this option of action. I disagree with this option because it has the most variables. A lot of different things could go wrong by trying to catch the terrorist with ground troops. The ground troops could make an error, the terrorist are armed and could kill Americans,
