Israeli troops killed a youth at a hospital and read out Jewish prayers at a mosque in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin during raids that Palestinian authorities said on Thursday killed 12 and that Israel said helped capture dozens of militants.
Alaa Al Sadi, who lives in the Jenin camp, said soldiers who came to his home searching for guns smashed his television before taking him blindfolded into detention at an army compound outside the city for about 14 hours, along with hundreds of other people.
The soldiers found no guns but demolished his family home and accused him of being a member of Hamas, telling him he should leave the West Bank and move to Lebanon or Syria, Al Sadi, 44, said in an interview. He denied any links to the Gaza-based Islamist militant group.
The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment about Alaa Al Sadi’s account.
The majority of the people taken into detention earlier in the raid have since been released, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club, an advocacy group, said in a statement. The Israeli army said 60 wanted suspects were transferred to security forces for further questioning.
At no point will any of these soldiers ask if they’re the baddies.
What is it in human nature that enables this total lack of awareness?
Religion.
pffft, not MINE though. /s
Definitely not mine, since I don’t have one.
Core problem. 100%, we need to get rid of it.
Right? Think about how fucking absurd this is. This whole “desecration” nonsense.
“I am going to say my special magic words at your special magic words building! Take that!”
“THIS OUTRAGE SHALL NOT STAND! ONLY MY SPECIAL MAGIC WORDS CAN BE SAID AT MY SPECIAL MAGIC WORDS BUILDING!”
And then they killed each other over special magic words. Invisible sky man is watching and doing nothing despite all the magical and very special words being said that he can definitely hear and cares about.
Fucking madness.
Agree. The whole temple mount thing… you children can’t behave, now nobody gets to play here. It’s off limits to all parties. Now everyone loses because you can’t get along. Fucking nutters.
It only takea a few to do such a thing. They probably grew up in an extreme religious home and watch the Israeli propaganda channel (fox news style lies and brainwash). I hope they will be punished for both the desecration and the terrible PR, making Israel look even worse.
Has anybody asked Anthony Blinken or co?
I felt that way when I saw majority support in Gaza for Hamas in a recent poll in Gaza and overwhelming support for Hamas on the west Bank.
It’s a good question.
