Not content merely to have murdered Samar Sirhan last week at the hands of a trigger happy settler security guard, Israel’s hallowed Border Police added insult to injury by breaking into the Sirhan home yesterday morning at 2:30AM where they promptly severely beat several of his brothers and arrested one of them who required nine stitches for his injuries.
What possible pretext can these heartless goons have for exacerbating the suffering of this family? Clearly, all Israel including its Jewish residents knows the killing was murder. They’ve seen the live video of the shooting scene. They know the guard and police story don’t wash. They know the family is pressing for justice. This is a naked projection of brutal power to cow the family into submission.
Hey, does everyone here remember the Jerusalem police’s newly appointed “Arab liaison,” Doron Zahavi aka “Captain George?” The one notorious for arranging for the sodomization of Mustafa Dirani when he helped run an IDF military intelligence detention center a few years ago? This is the kind of excellent community liaison work for which Zahavi can doubtless take credit. I believe this is called “pacification,” Israel style.
Here is Joseph Dana’s account of police brutishness during recent disturbances in Silwan following Sirhan’s murder:
Recently, I was on the ground and witnessed soldiers urinating and defecating on the roofs of private Palestinian homes, throwing bottles (water and beer) on to Palestinians pedestrians on the street and breaking windows left and right.From the ground [live] I tweeted:
“Soldiers are trashing roof tops with urine and feces in Silwan. We are cleaning up and putting the waste in front of the settler house”
“The police have no shame at all. They have broken a window now and poked their heads into the house demanding coffee”
“They are also throwing bottles from roofs on to the main streets.”
If you are a Jew and supporter of Israel’s current government and policies, how much longer can behavior like this go on in your name? Will you say, ‘Enough?’ Ever?

Is this an example of double standards on your behalf or what ?
when an article is published in Ynet and NRG, accusing two israeli-arabs on national security related violation, YOU insist everyone will approach it alleged violations. Yet in this article the word allegedly disappeared from your vocabulary.
Double standards at its best.
and then your headline says ISraeli Army, when ISraeli Police forces are accused ? is that an attempt to mislead your readers or you really do not know the difference ?
i Looked at the two You Tube Video Joseph Dana published, all you see is a broken window and an Arab guy telling an israeli women that the police broke the window last night and asked for coffee. easily you will get a conviction with such evidence.
Are you saying that the incident didn’t happen? Would you like me to display a picture of the beaten brother? An interview w. the doctor who stitched him? Frankly, the victims are much more truthful than the perpetrators as a rule. The Border Police are virtually the same as the army. They certainly aren’t the police, by which one would assume it was the Jerusalem Police, which it wasn’t. The Palestinian victims said the raid was by the Israeli army, by which they include the Border Police.
Are you arguing that Joseph Dana’s eyewitness account of Israeli troops which he saw shitting on Palestinian roofs is a lie? If so, would you pls. write this directly to Joseph so he can have a good laugh. Should I ask for photos of soldiers taking a dump & publish them? Then when people accuse me of dishonoring Israeli forces I will be able to blame you by saying you forced me to do it to prove my point.

MY COMMENT: Yeah, I remember reading a couple of insightful articles about liaison “Captain George” somewhere.* In fact, those articles came to mind when I read Joseph Dana’s comments regarding the policemen’s poor potty habits on another site earlier today.
