A disturbing video emerged Thursday night that shows what appears to be Israeli policemen brutally beating a Palestinian in the East Jerusalem neighborhood Shuafat. Clashes broke out in the neighborhood Wednesday morning following the discovery of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir’s body in a suspected revenge killing by Israeli Jews.

The video, first aired by Palestine Today and also appearing in a report in Electronic Intifada, shows what appear to be two undercover Israeli border policemen kicking and beating a Palestinian, whose face is also covered, while he appears handcuffed, pinned down and barely moving. After the two finish beating him they drag him over to a group of other Israeli police forces, including both undercover and uniformed riot police.

A second video appears to show parts of the same scene from a different angle.

Asked for comment by +972, Jerusalem Police Commissioner Micky Rosenfeld gave a very brief comment after the video was described to him on the phone: “This may be part of the ongoing police actions in the area [Shuafat] amid heavy rioting. Six people whose faces were covered were arrested yesterday. That’s all I have to say about it.”

Well, looks like it is back to business as usual for the brave men and women of the Israeli shock troops.

And I am sure that the usual characters will slink in to express how the Palestinian had it coming to them.

Happens quite a bit, too, apparently

Also the same suburb where the Arab boy was kidnapped and killed.

2. Update. This just made the nightly news.

I hope that all Israelphiles take notice. When it starts to make the mainstream news you know that you are in trouble.

4. Sadly, Cali, if he had been a Palestinian this wouldn't have made the national MSM news this evening

but since he is an American, well they could spare a few minutes.


That's how it is played out in Israel; which is fekking mind blowing.

Dead Palestinians: *They had it coming to them.

Dead Israeli settlers: The world stops.


The world should stop for ALL those who are murdered in cold blood and not pick and choose which are the more notable deaths.

*There are posters here who fall all over themselves twisting themselves into a pretzel to find fault with any Palestinian victim just to score some fu@ked up points for team hasbarista.

5. undoubtedly true. I'm so sorry that this happened to this kid but

it's an incident that has the possibility of shedding some light.

6. This is how Israel investigates hate crimes committed

by Jews against Arabs-- by beating the shit out of the victim's family.

Apartheid.
