Israeli soldier clubs Danish protester with rifle

Denmark has demanded an explanation from the Israeli government for video footage showing a senior Israeli army officer striking a Danish activist in the face with an M16 rifle, an act which has been sharply criticised by the Israeli prime minister, president and chief of staff.

In the video, Lt Col Shalom Eisner, deputy commander of the Jordan Valley territorial brigade, is clearly seen slamming his rifle into the face of Andreas Ias. There was no obvious reason for the assault in the clip, which was broadcast on Israeli television and posted on YouTube. The soldier was suspended by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) pending an investigation.

The video emerged on the same day as Israel launched a security operation to prevent hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists entering the country en route to the West Bank, claiming they were provocateurs and were planning acts of violence. The assault on the Danish man and the operation to block the entry of Palestinian sympathisers have led to questions about whether Israel's response to activists is excessively heavy-handed and will damage its image.

The Danish ambassador to Israel, Liselotte Plesner, asked for detailed information about the assault on the activist. A statement from Denmark's foreign foreign minister, Villy Sovndal, said: "We are not aware of all the circumstances surrounding the incident. The Danish ambassador has asked the Israeli authorities for an immediate explanation."

I suggest you re-read my post......I'll give you a clue:

'I will take a leaf out of the monkey's playbook....'

'Am I being serious? Do I really belive this? - NO'

'..this is the tactic that the monkey usually employs... so what's sauce for the goose....etc, etc'

monkey's playbook and derail/switch/hijack the thread by bringing in a Tu quoque fallacy, and say:

Why do you say nothing when they shoot and torture protesters in Bahrain with the backing of Qatari forces?

The Danish lad should think himself lucky! Now let's all talk about the real problem 1e, the barberism in Bahrain - you hypocrites.

Am I being serious? Do I really belive this? - NO

But this is the tactic that the monkey usually employs... so what's sauce for the goose....etc, etc

You know what shocks me about this?

It's not the outrage caused by an Israeli belting an innocent westerner in the face.

it's the fact that day after day Israel commits gross violations of humanitarian law in Palestine, and that DOESN'T cause any outrage.

It's sad that the demolition of homes and farms and the murder of civilians doesn't get a fraction of the coverage that a Danish guy being whacked in the face.

That really pisses me off.
