I’d ask you which came first but I don’t think you’d care. I also do not think you can link the two, except if you’d want to suggest the Arabs and Palestinians are waging a just war of resistance (but that is a completely different topic worth its own thread). What is clear HERE is that the Israelis are becoming dehumanizing. Your comment as well, reflects an “It’s Okay” attitude that is, at best, troubling.
Why, except rhetorically, do you think this humiliating behavior is acceptable? These are acts performed under the power of state authority and at the end of a barrel.
Compared to arab treatment of Israelis, no comparison.
And as for which came first, thats exactly the point. We know which came first.
I'd send them a check to help defray the costs and then sleep like a baby.
My, how convenient for you. Too bad you don't get to dictate the terms of debate.
It's not war unless they wear a uniform and engage enemy combatants. What the Palestinians engage in is "Mohammedanism."
IF this thing is real (the Palis love to film little dramas for Western consumption) it is bad behavior by the individuals in question. It does nothing to improve the security of Israel. The individuals in question should receive Non-Judicial Punishment (like our Article 15) and their NCOs and OIC should be reprimanded for their unprofessional behavior.
And that's it. I don't care about the Pali humiliated. I am just concerned about the lack of discipline demonstrated by the border policemen.
As for “dehumanization” I think of that as murders, mutilations, beheadings, suicide bombs, random rocketing, and individuals stuffed into cattle cars for a ride to the camps. Humiliation ain't in the same class. Its not even close.
Ping me back when the Israels start calling for genocide of the Palestinians (like the Palis call for against the Israelis...).
