Israeli army probes shooting of bound Palestinian

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Video footage of an Israeli soldier firing what appears to be a rubber bullet at point-blank range at a bound and blindfolded Palestinian detainee has led to an army investigation. (Gee, he acted like a palestinian....oops bad move bro)

The incident occurred three weeks ago during protests in the village of Nilin against the construction of Israel's barrier in the occupied West Bank.

A video, taken by a villager and released on Sunday by the Israeli rights group B'Tselem, showed a soldier firing his rifle toward a Palestinian detained at the protest. The rifle appeared to have been modified to fire rubber-coated metal bullets.(at least he didn't behead the bastard with a dull knife, like daniel pearl, or drag his dead body down a road behind a truck and dump him in a ditch, like some of our fallen have had done to them)

The protester had been tied up and blindfolded and was standing only a few centimeters (inches) away.

B'Tselem said the man sustained bruises.(Oh poor baby)

An army statement said a military doctor who examined him found he had been "very slightly wounded with swelling to a toe on his right foot."

"This was a serious incident in stark violation of the (military's) rules of conduct and safety," the army statement said. "The advocate-general ... ordered a military police investigation into the incident upon receiving the footage." (As well he should, acting like the enemy only makes you just as much of a low life)

Israeli media reports said the soldier who fired the shot had been arrested. Asked about the reports, a military spokesman said: "When the investigation is over and the results are in, steps will be taken."......(That don't sound good for the sap who did it, but don't do the crime if you can't do the time....he should be better than that)

  1. Yeah, shooting the dude with a rubber bullet after he's tied up, that's "mean-spirited." *S*

  3. he acted like a palestinian?
    I'm afraid you are a victim of too much propaganda, Riff. These were peaceful protestors.
    The whole Daniel Pearl thing has serious questions revolving around it. It was a total psy-op. I'll see if I can dig up the stuff on it again.

  7. Wow I'm impressed, where do you dig dugg,...(lol...I made a funny...lol... get it remember the old video game digdug...?...oh never mind)to find all this stuff? I looked up a few conspiracy theory sites just to see all the fuss, and there was so much BS mixed with what might be plausable, that you can't make heads or tails out of it...so most of it gets discounted...my faves were the government suppression of the over unity machines....but there was some real BS about Tesla I think, dude was a genius...and uncle sam raided his stuff, and said Nickoli who?....riff

  10. I don't mean to be a wad whenever the topic comes up - there's just something about the story that really gets to me. The plight of an entire people walled off and treated like animals while the controlled media makes us to perceive them as inhuman so that nobody will ever help them. There like the modern native Americans.
