At least two Palestinians were wounded by gunmen disguised as fellow protesters in a group of men throwing stones at Israeli security forces in Ramallah on Wednesday. After participating in the stone throwing, several gunmen suddenly drew their weapons and fired point blank at the Palestinians.
The plainclothes gunmen were immediately joined by over a dozen uniformed Israeli soldiers, who can be seen on video beating, kicking and pointing assault weaponry at the Palestinians before dragging them toward Humvee-style vehicles.
While the Israeli military reports that two Palestinians were injured in the gunfight, Agence France-Presse, which has posted video, counts three men among the injured.
The incident can also be seen in video posted by the Shehab News Agency:
Reuters reporter Luke Baker tweeted that the gunmen were undercover Israeli police officers who had been inciting the Palestinians to throw rocks at the soldiers before firing at the stone-throwers themselves.

WATCH: Israeli undercover agents shoot unarmed youth at point blank range
A video released Wednesday onto several social media accounts and published by several news outlets shows Israeli plainclothes undercover officers apparently shooting an unarmed Palestinian youth in the leg at point blank range, while other undercover officers hold him down.
The shooting and beating took place during clashes in between Ramallah and the Beit El settlement, which abuts the de facto Palestinian capital and hosts the armys regional headquarters base.
Several video clips emerged on Wednesday, showing the Israeli plainclothes undercover officers wearing keffiyehs wrapped around their faces, infiltrating demonstrations in the West Bank and then either shooting toward demonstrators at close range with handguns, or assaulting them and dragging them away to military vehicles presumably for transport to the local military jail.

In 2012 Haaretz newspaper reported (Hebrew link) that the commanding officer of an undercover unit confirmed it was their practice to have plainclothes agents infiltrate Palestinian demonstrations and throw stones in the direction of soldiers while encouraging the Palestinian youth to follow suit, and then arrest them for throwing stones.

(30,109 posts)...just released within the past hours. It's simply not there. And that was my point.
The media & thousands of armchair humanists over there looking for anything to incite hate against Israel/Jews are far more guilty. THAT's no secret.
There are more people with cameras in Israel (than anywhere else in the world) hunting for hours, days, weeks, and months for something, anything to photograph or record. Sometimes they get something. Those attacking Jews play to the cameras. It's not a story when they attack. It's only a story if they can make the Israelis look bad in response. To portray the Israelis as attacking or killing innocents for no reason. Think it's a coincidence cameras & recorders are always there to get the story? They know what's about to happen. They expect it & those attacking Jews are eager to play to the cameras.
It's a game.
A very loathsome one at that, especially when child provocateurs are used to get a reaction for the camera & all the compassion abusing concern trolls who feast on these things.

(6,171 posts)This could have happened in perhaps Egypt or Saudi Arabia, but never, ever, in a civilized country. Democratic countries don't use provocateurs, especially when the goal is to kill and maim demonstrators. This must be stopped, and the underover provocateurs should be prosecuted.
