Rightist assaulted by police to be compensated

[azurnoir]

The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court ruled recently that police officers who struck a right-wing activist during the evacuation of a West Bank outpost were liable for NIS 4,000 (about $963) in damages.

The settlers documented the event, and the video, with the assistance of the Yesha Council's Human Rights Group, was transferred to the Police Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB).

The State's approach sets a new level for the perception that a public servant is always right, and that being a public official can be used to cover any violent act," added Levin

1. Aren't these the same hateful folk who complained when B'Tselem handed out cameras to Palestinians?

I remember they were whining that B'Tselem should give them some cameras as well. Looks like they mustered up the funds to buy one...

2. well I guess it depends on who's hand the camera is in

lol but its that last bit in the snippet I posted that IMO is particularly rich considering recent events

3. $963?

The impression that I get is that Israel only marginally gives a fuck more about Israelis than it does Palestinians.


Either that or American courts grossly overcompensate victims of state assault...

8. How aren't you being hypocritical? You attack one and not the other.

Your only response has been snarky, "I think I know everything" attacks. Egotistical, too.

9. Sad ad homs

The only hypocritical post here is yours. You attacked one and not the other, by using the other. I attacked no one.

10. Who do you think you're fooling? You and everyone else knows that no matter what Israel's government

does, no matter who made the decision in the government, no matter who has the power in the government, you will always find that decision to be the correct one and will twist facts to pretend it is as correct as the Word of God, Himself.

11. Soundly pathetic.

It sounds more like your kind, except it would finish with..."...you will always find that decision to be the incorrect one and will twist facts to pretend it is as incorrect as the Word of Satan, Himself."
