[quote]Video footage emerged Thursday of Israeli border police brutally beating a Palestinian man unconscious in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Shufat. A video posted by Palestine Today TV shows what appears to be masked Israeli border police in riot gear beating, kicking and stamping on a Palestinian man until he lost consciousness.

such is day to day life under the occupation
I hope there's an investigation. From the little glimpses I see here- it does not bode well for the IDF's record. The article, in its current state, is a bit bare- it's moreso a summary of what the video yields, and that isn't much. I am not denying that the man's being beaten, but we don't know what occured beforehand. I'll wait for more information and an official response.

Regardless of what happened you don't beat a person unconscious and then some. This is more likely a retaliation beating from the three teenagers that was killed last week or whatever
Update, this might be the kid. He's the 15 year old cousin of the other kid that was murdered. He too was beaten by Israeli police on the same day.

It could be, but these attacks don't make sense. Anyways, your article has made the false claim that the teenager was proven to be killed by settlers. This is untrue. I also read Silverstein's article, and I think he misinterprets the police's findings on the teenager's death. The information that the police yielded was a finding. And holds as much truth as the rumour of right-winged extremists performing the abduction. Like I said, we must wait for the final report. Hold on a second... I notice an inconsistency. Why would the IDF continue to harm a family that [B]may have been[/B] harmed by right-winged militants? The Silverstein and the imemc article don't synergise, and no ammount of shock images are going to change that. Let's wait for the Israeli response.
It's values

Let's look at their most recent headlines: - Israel targets Gaza after rocket fire - 20 injured in clashes following funeral of Palestinian teen - Israeli forces shoot, critically injure man in central Gaza - Israeli forces deploy in Jerusalem for funeral of Palestinian teen Ma'an news is the Middle-East equivalent to Fox News. It's simply just clickbait that attempts to make Israel look pure evil and otherwise shine Palestine in a holy light. In the Middle-Eastern conflict, both sides are in the wrong-- don't buy every bit of news you see, whether it be from the Palestinians or the Israelis.

I'd honestly say that we'd all be better off if it was wiped off the map. I don't have anything against jews but I'm fucking dusgusted by the state of israel.
One of the reason why I hate Israel's existance.

What the fuck is wrong with you? If we commit ethnic cleansing every time a sensationalist article goes public, we'll all likely be dead within the hour.

More like denouncing the Israel goverment and removing it's leaders from their positions.

The ridiculous thing is that in the Israeli media this video was published this evening, and below it, there was a line that reads "Chief of police: The video is edited and fake". That just made my blood boil, how could they possibly fake it? (btw I'm not sure it was the chief of police, but it was some high-ranking dude).

They were actually helping him cross the street.
