Hold your breath. This in not a joke, this is not a satire. It is real almost as much as it is pathetic. Israeli Ynet just reported<\/a> that the images of captured Israeli commandos published in Turkish papers opened \u201c…old wounds among those Israeli commandos involved in similar circumstances. Thus far, at least four combat soldiers have reported worsening of their (mental) condition\u201d<\/p>\n

While the rest of the world is caught shocked and angry by the images of Israeli navy seals executing peace activists<\/a> in cold blood, the Israelis seem to moan over their new emerging phantasmic trauma.<\/p>\n

Ynet reports, \u201cthe difficult images of Israeli commandos tied up and bloody on the deck of the Marmara have had significant effects on soldiers who have been away from the battlefield for more than a year.\u201d Apparently the new sufferers are soldiers who didn\u2019t even take part in the event.<\/p>\n

First, let me offer the Israeli traumatised commando \u2018victims\u2019 a light remedy. In the following picture they can see that the Turkish medical team was actually treating the lightly wounded Israeli soldiers on the lower deck at the time their friends were executing peace activists on the upper decks. <\/p>\n

I want to believe that once Israelis grasp that there is compassion out of their Hebraic Ghetto, they may even start to develop some empathic feelings themselves. But I may be over optimistic here.<\/p>\n

Ynet learned that at least four \u201cNavy combat soldiers have recently contacted the Defence Ministry to report that the media images of the injured soldiers have instigated a worsening in their mental and psychiatric conditions.\u201d No wonder why Israel needs so many atomic bombs. If this is the way its toughest combatants react to images of light injuries, Israel may as well use its ultimate weapon against the next humanitarian flotilla to Gaza.<\/p>\n

One of the \u2018suffering commandos\u2019 who was enlisted last year and didn\u2019t participate in the cold blooded murder on the Mavi Marmara reported that he \u201cdid not receive any training on how to deal with such situations and their repercussions\u201d, one of which is that he has a hard time falling asleep at night. The kosher warrior cannot close his eyes. Not too bad, I guess, in comparison with the nine peace activists who won\u2019t see daylight.<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, Ynet is yet to report about Israeli commandos who are traumatised by the massacre they committed executing peace activists in international waters. Ynet is also yet to report on any Hasbara officer who committed a suicide after being exposed for forging and staging footage<\/a> of violence on the Mavi Marmara.<\/p>\n

Maybe the Israelis are not that fragile after all.<\/p>\n
