Three incidents of looting have been reported in the village of Pe'at Sadeh in southern Gush Katif.
Two soldiers were caught looting an air conditioner from a home in the town of Pe’at Sadeh in Gush Katif on Tuesday. The soldiers were caught by a female soldier who reported the incident to her superiors.
The two soldiers have admitted to looting the home.
The IDF Judge Advocate General has ordered an investigation into the incident.
Two other incidents of looting have been reported in Pe’at Sadeh.
On Sunday, two soldiers were caught attempting to steal appliances left behind by residents who left the village. Residents who returned to remove their possessions said a number of dwellings had been broken into.
In another looting incident, an attempt by three soldiers to steal a refrigerator from a home was recorded by Channel 10 television cameras on Sunday night.
The IDF spokesman condemned the incidents, saying they contravene the morals and values of the IDF. The spokesman said that soldiers suspected of looting will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
That's right. Got to have good morals while throwing families into the street.
All that stuff is going to meet a bulldozer in a few days anyway.
BTW, better than in the hands of the terrorist ragheads.
It's the matter not so much of morals as of military discipline. If the discipline degenerates, so will IDF. And if IDF degenerates, then the things will become really hairy.
Why in the world wouldn't people take that stuff with them???
"Why in the world wouldn't people take that stuff with them???"
If people stayed around till the point of being forced out by the military, instead of using the thier days ahead of time protesting, they could have rented a Uhaul and properly moved out. Waiting to be forcibly taken out and illegal to return would make it tough to get it all.
Agreed. They should salt the earth behind them as they leave.
That's what's really scary about this. What's going to happen to the IDF's discipline and moral as they are forced to confront the people who refuse to leave. Of course, it's going to be fodder for the palis, showing how they forced the Jews off of their land.
Mark
what shi**y news.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
That very wronggg Alouette I hope it is BS story
Things are getting absolutely nightmarish in their absurdity.
"It's the matter not so much of morals as of military discipline. If the discipline degenerates, so will IDF. And if IDF degenerates, then the things will become really hairy."
Yeah, maybe they'll decide they don't want to cooperate and live the rest of their lives with the heavy guilt of the outrageous thing they are being ordered to do.
There's nothing outrageous in it: keeping large hostile populations under control and in subjection has always been cost-prohibitive; legally constituted Israeli authorities merely decided to cut the losses. Those who do not like it should stand in the next Israeli elections and try to become the PM there.
You seem to be unaware that the Palestinian Arabs already were given 98.5% of the terriroty they asked for under the Oslo Accords - Israel met its part of the bargain, because that's the way Israel is. You seem to think that the Palestinians are going to stop attacking Israel. They have made it clear, and there is no reason to doubt them, that the violence will accelerate; they think they've got the Jews on the run.
The Palestinian Arabs met none of the terms to which they agreed under the Oslo Accords. They were supposed to do only one thing - stop the incitement to violence. But they did not. All Israel and the world got in return was mass murder of its citizens by Palestinian terrorism. Terrorists training camps in Gaza gave the British shoe bomber his training in the ways of mass murder.
You have accepted mistaken information from the MSM. No one is being held in subjugation in Gaza. Jewish Palestinians are being evicted from Jewish towns. The Arab Palestinians are in charge of their own towns in Gaza and have their own leaders, albeit terrorist ones.
It does not seem an issue for you that or many others that the Arabs are such vicious racists that they can stand not even one Jew in their midst. Within the past 50 years, Arabs and other Moslems evicted between 800,000 and 900,000 Jews from their countries, countries in which they had lived from biblical times. Most left with just the clothes on their back. Few people seem to care about the Jewish refugee situation. No one talks about reparations for that injustice. Israel did not keep them the Jewish refugees in camps the way the Arab countries do with the Jordanian Arabs who started to call themselves "Palestinians" a few decades ago.
Those Palestinian Arabs who are peaceful say off the record that they would have preferred that there could be part of Israeli society for their safety and the well being of the families.
The Palestinian Arabs are celebrating because Israel is moving Jews out of Jewish towns. They are not in Arab towns - the hate-filled Arabs would kill them immediately, as has been demonstrated firsthand for all of us countless times in the lynchings we have all seen the Arabs carry out with wild and venomous glee with bloody hands raised high. This is not a group who should have a separate county. They are Jordanians. The Bush Doctrine would dictate that the Palestinian Arab terrorists be wiped out; yet Bush inconsistently gives this hub of international terror a pass.
The outrageous thing is for a Western governemtn to have one set of citizens evict 9,000 of their fellow citizens from their communities for no reason, but to please an ill-conceived policy of a foreign government, and to evict them en masse from the very communities that same government encouraged them to build from scratch in the desert.
Logic would have it that those who are the killers and racists should have been moved out, not those who want to live in peace with all their neighbors.
If Jews in their own country are still called "settlers," then we are still "settlers" everywhere. No less so in London, Paris, Chicago, Moscow, and Hong Kong. Gaza has Jewish families there for four generations. It seems the world sees us alone as fair game for eviction wherever we are - even in our own country.

I do not think any Israeli Government has ever proclaimed Gaza to be within her borders.
Why wouldn't you try to become the next Israeli PM instead of being more catholic than the Pope?
