Observe Israel definitely not being an Apartheid state.

The country should have been divided into a northern country and a southern country just like ancient Israel was.

That way both parties could exist from the river to the sea.

I download all of the videos like this so that in 30 years when free speech is illegal and you have to scan your id embedded in your brain chip to access the internet i can show them to the future generation before my brain gets fried for wrong think.

The casual brutality is terrifying.

The way the man does not react in any way and just lowers the head and keeps walking is even more terrifying.

They were clearly hamas

One of the biggest failings of society is when we, instead of holding them accountable, give the bullies bigger sticks and look away until it's "not a problem" anymore.

Can someone clarify for me

  • when/where was this taken

  • who are the people in "uniform" and how do you know

  • what organization published this, i don't recognize them

Well played, you seem to always question and needle at posts that show crimes against Palestinians. Never seem to question or confront the mass slaughter of women and children in Gaza. Never question the land grabs, the constant illegal settlement building, never the well established apartheid by Israel. Bravo, you're not bad at being an apologist for genocide. Your willingness to dehumanize the Palestinian people still reveals itself. Regardless, the world can no longer unsee the horrors in Gaza. They are starting to see that Israel is led by religious fanatics, and has become its own worst enemy.

The original post is from https://twitter.com/QudsNen/status/1785325593615032694

"Israeli occupation forces assault Palestinians passing by in the occupied city of Jerusalem."

I think it is recent. There is Hebrew text and the video is very high definition.

So... I can't answer your questions but is is certainly in Israel or the settlements due to the writing's on the ads.

There is no doubt that Israel would not allow anyone but themselves to behave like that inside their own territories of control so i'd say that it is pretty safe to assume that it is an Israeli authority of some sort.

Who leaked it and when is irrelevant IMO.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (5 children)

I would argue with the current... state... of Israel and with the intl pressures and propaganda both who and when leaked it are quite relevant. It contains no context of who these people are (police, armed forces, paramilitary), who they are attacking (cant say I see any reason to treat the second one like that regardless), or why. It is absolutely framed as a random attack on civilians, but what is the context - is it a random attack?

Regarding who and when, there are significant propaganda campaigns on both sides and this provides considerable context. MEE was found to be editing historical videos and adding on Al Jazeera logos to make old recording look like they were Regarding events only a few hours old to spark outrage, Israel is... well being Israel.... so there is much more behind this than a 32 second video viewed in Isolation.

idk why everyone is angry about pointing out the limitations of contextless garbage content that asks the audience to substitute filling in the blanks with your imagination for journalism. Though tbf it seems like doing actual journalism on this kind of thing is a very dangerous occupation right now.

Oh get off it. Sometimes a fucking video of police brutality is a fucking video of police brutality.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well let's start with the first question - is this the police, is it the Israeli police, and how do you know?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I think it's leprechauns.

Take your sealioning elsewhere.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

At least a shamrock and little green hat would tell us something

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

It takes literally 1 googling for "Israeli military police" to verify that the uniforms and gear are the same. There are multiple signs in Arabic and at least one in Hebrew.

You can choose to keep pretending this is not painfully obvious but this is the last I'm responding to your sealioning trolling.

The soldiers were not trying to arrest these men. Only bully them. They were not expecting to be hit.

The video does not leave that much room for interpretation unless you are watching on a very low resolution.

Any one instrested should read The Olive Grove: A Palestinian Story by Deborah Rohan. The book follows 3 generations around ww2 of a single family that goes through hell by the zionist of the time.
