      There’s a longer version (also clipped) floating about, but there’s some basic facts regardless

      • Guy in orange isn’t fighting back
        • Guy in orange is dressed like a medic/civil aid worker
      • Guys wearing uniforms similar to IDF, using vehicles that look an awful lot like IDF, are doing unjustified violence against orange shirt guy
        • Guy doing the beating isn’t in a struggle or even trying to wrestle for an arrest, it’s just knee-to-the-face brutality
        • His partner doesn’t seem to stressed about orange guy potentially attacking, doesn’t see him as a threat

      None of these facts looks good for the ones driving the vehicle

        with first, fourth and fifth point and conclusion I obviously agree: military brutality all the way second and third I don’t know, so I take your word for it.

        I’m just looking for “self explaining”, “easy to read and understand” sources, not trying to state anything.

        thank you

          Rationale? This clip surfaced in the context of Palestinian resistance firing at the IDF as they entered the West Bank (not uncommon). Taking a guess, someone got shot/wounded and said medic is trying to enter the IDF security cordon and offer treatment. And this is how he is treated.

      It’s the IDF beating up a Palestinian in a medic uniform. There was probably a Hamas tunnel network in his backpack.

      You’re likelier to get a reasonable explanation from a high-school bully on why he’s beating up a nerd than from the IDF beating up Palestinians.

        if anything, the tunnel would be in the man’s head, no? they try to break it like an Easter egg
