"It is not a mistake as some members of Knesset had hoped to hear, but a policy about which we are all clear on where it is dictated from. It is dictated by the judicial system, the Chief Military Prosecutor, or the Attorney General. The awful point is that it is a policy that gives weapons to our enemies, that corrupts an investigation, that is nothing less than treason and aiding the enemy in time of war," says Feiglin.
"Those who cause internal strife while the enemy besieges us from without cause more and more enemies to join the accusations against the soldiers."
On the claim that it is a defense against the Hague, Feiglin said "The Israel Police and the judicial system do not work for us but for the Hague. Ultimately, this is the point of reference of the IDF's prosecution and the Supreme Court. To prove to those they do work for that they work for them, they attack IDF soldiers."
"He who knows how to have compassion on the cruel will be cruel to the compassionate and side with the enemy," says Feiglin, quoting a well known midrashic source.
As to the investigation itself, Feiglin says that the starting point should be that IDF soldiers acted properly. "No one is trying to encourage criminal acts, but we have forgotten what these savage terrorists are doing here", he says, reminding of what Shmuel the prophet did to Agag, king of Amalek, in I Samuel. "This is what should have been done with the Hamas terrorists, to throw them to the pigs in front of the whole world, but instead we arrested them and we are letting human rights lawyers meet them."
"The examination that the Hadassah hospital director requested to perform with his own hands on that terrorist was forbidden him. The female prosecutor allows those same human rights organizations [who accused the soldiers] to do the examination and not an Israeli doctor who wishes to perform a genuine examination for the sake of the trial, so that we understand where the motivation is," says Feiglin.
