question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joseph Schweitzer ? The plane was manned by Marine Capt. Richard Ashby  a 30-year-old on his final training flight before promotion to fighter pilot  and Capt.  Joseph Schweitzer   a navigator with a decade of flight experience. Capt. William Raney and Capt. Chandler Seagraves  electronic-warfare officers  were in the back seats.
During the flight   Schweitzer  borrowed Ashbyâs handheld videocamera to record  his  swan songâ his  last aerial navigation as a Marine Corps pilot before  he  left the military.  Schweitzer  testified that  he  had intended to show the video to  his  kids someday.
The plane lost contact with ground radar at 3:06 p.m. due to its low altitude  and  Schweitzer  testified that the video showed  him  smiling right up until 3:12 p.m.  when the plane hit the gondola cable.
After hitting the cable  the pilots saw the gondola fall but continued their flight. They landed the damaged Prowler safely at a NATO base in Aviano  in northern Italy. Court documents show that as Raney and Seagraves got off the plane   Schweitzer  and Ashby remained behind  took the borrowed camcorder videotape of the flight  then replaced it with a blank tape.
As  Schweitzer  and Ashby walked to the mess hall a few days after the accident  they asked Seagravesâ advice on handling questions about the videotape  according to court documents. Seagraves testified that he counseled the pilots to âget rid of the videotape. If  it  were mine  I would get rid of  it .â
Court documents show that Ashby gave  Schweitzer  the videotape  and  Schweitzer  took  it  outside behind a bar and threw  it  into a bonfire  despite âknowing that Italian and United States military criminal investigators would have wanted to view  it  â according to  his  testimony (PDF).
â Get rid of the videotape. If  it  were mine  I would get rid of  it . â â Capt. Chandler Seagraves in court testimony
Initially  all four men were charged with crimes and Ashby  who had been at the controls  faced a total of more than 200 years in a military prison.  Schweitzer  and Ashby were recommended for general court-martial at Camp Lejeune on 20 counts of involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide. Italian authorities did not have jurisdiction to formally charge the crew members under NATO treaty rules.
The planeâs pilot and navigator  Ashby and Schweitzer  were court-martialed again in May 1999 on charges of obstructing justice by destroying the videotape recorded during the flight. Guilty verdicts pushed Ashby and  Schweitzer  out of the Marine Corps  and Ashby served four months of a six-month term in military prison before his release on good behavior.
Ashby and  Schweitzer  maintained that they had seen neither the new directives nor the updated government maps. Seagraves and Raney testified that the altitude gauge did not trigger after the plane entered the Cermis valley  even though Ashby  the pilot  had set the indicator to go off when they dropped below 800 feet  according to the Associated Press.
The investigationâs partially redacted pages blamed the Marine pilots for the tragedy and advised the United States to take full responsibility for paying restitution to the victimsâ families  La Stampa reported. The paper added that investigators found compelling evidence refuting the crew membersâ claims regarding old maps and missed flight directives that eventually led to  Schweitzer  and Ashbyâs acquittal on the most severe charges.
The Daily Beast interviewed retired Maj. Raney and then-Capt.  Schweitzer about the La Stampa  claims. Both crew members denied having seen or read the new directives or maps marking the location of the cable-car lines.
âNo   we  absolutely did not have charts with the cables marked on them â Raney said. âThe Italians had the cables marked on their maps  but  we  did notâ¦ and there was a two-star [general] who flat out lied about it in a press conference.
âYou know  this is a situation that I like to call the unbelievable  unimaginable  unexpected moments that training just canât prepare you for â  Schweitzer  said. âI got rid of the tape  not because of the flight  but because that was my worst nightmareâ¦ I didnât want to look at my smiling face while flying a low-altitude flight  which was something I loved to doâand then all of a sudden  tragedy.â
In a 2015 email to The Daily Beast via a public-affairs spokesperson   he  wrote that the Cavalese cable-car incident has been fully investigated  but  he  also offered  his  condolences.
âI would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by this tragedy â  he  wrote.

Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Benjamin Netanyahu ? MUNICH (AP) â The nuclear deal with Iran has emboldened Tehran to become increasingly aggressive in the Middle East   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  said Sunday  warning that Iran should "not test Israel's resolve" as  he  showed off what  he  said was part of a downed Iranian drone.
 Netanyahu  said of Iran that if the U.S. decides to scrap the 2015 nuclear deal  which  he  has long opposed  "I think they'll do nothing."
But Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif  appearing two hours later at the same Munich Security Conference  fired back that  Netanyahu 's comment was "delusional thinking."
Kerry dismissed  Netanyahu 's contention that Iran would be on its way to having a nuclear arsenal in 10 years  saying "that's fundamentally not accurate."

 Netanyahu  told world leaders  diplomats and defense officials at the conference that the deal was similar to the infamous 1938 "Munich Agreement" that Western powers signed with Adolf Hitler in an attempt to stave off war in Europe  which became synonymous with appeasement.
"The concessions to Hitler only emboldened the Nazi regime "  he  said. "Rather than choosing a path that might have prevented war... those well-intentioned leaders made a wider war inevitable and far more costly."
Similarly   he  said  the Iranian nuclear agreement has "unleashed a dangerous Iranian tiger in our region and beyond."
Declaring that Iran's "brazenness hit new highs "  he  theatrically held up a fragment of what  he  said was an Iranian drone shot down last week by Israel in Israeli airspace and challenged Zarif.
"Mr. Zarif  do you recognize this? You should  it's yours "  Netanyahu  said. "You can take back with you a message to the tyrants of Tehran â do not test Israel's resolve!"
Tehran has denied that the drone belonged to Iran. Zarif on Sunday dismissed  Netanyahu 's stunt as "a cartoonish circus... which does not even deserve the dignity of a response."
Iranian troops  along with Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed Shiite forces  have aided Syrian President Bashar Assad in his war against rebel groups.  Netanyahu  has repeatedly warned that  he  will not accept a permanent Iranian military presence in postwar Syria  fearing that Iran and its Shiite allies would turn their attention to Israel.

 Netanyahu  has been projecting a business-as-usual approach on  his  visit to Germany amid uproar at home after police on Tuesday said was sufficient evidence to indict  him  for bribery  fraud and breach of trust in two cases.  The Israeli leader  has angrily rejected the accusations and denounced what  he  describes as an overzealous police investigation.  He  has also dismissed the accusations as a witch hunt orchestrated by a hostile media.
Zarif suggested  Netanyahu  might be escalating tensions with Iran simply to distract from  his  domestic problems.
Denouncing what  he  said were Israel's "almost daily illegal incursions into Syrian airspace " Zarif said Israel was trying "to create these cartoonish images to blame others for its own strategic blunders  or maybe to evade the domestic crisis they're facing."

Negative

The only link that was offered vis-à-vis Russia was with RIAC " or the Russian International Affairs Council  a Russian think tank.
