Pardon of Israeli soldier
The text criticizes a RIGHT-WING position (the pardoning of a soldier who shot a subdued attacker against military protocol), applying Rule 5 to assign a LEFT-WING classification. | The text neutrally reports on President Herzog's decision to clear Elor Azaria's criminal record without taking an explicit left-wing or right-wing stance, so Rule 8 applies.
