Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Whether or not that argument succeeds, Israel's reputation as a country with the rule of law is once again in the dock.

47% : It was the investigation into the IDF's soldiers that first prompted backlash from senior figures within Israel's government.

37% : For critics of Mr Netanyahu, the so-called "MAG affair" shows that having allegedly tried to politicise Israel's judiciary, leading to months of protest before the war, he is now trying the same with the military.
36% : However, before the inquiry could take its course, the video prompted a backlash from politicians on the Right, including those close to Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, who dismissed accusations against the guards as a "blood libel".
36% : Israel Katz, the defence minister, said that anyone who fabricates "blood libels against Israeli soldiers was unworthy of donning IDF uniform".
