  1. Your headline reads, “What’s to Apologize for?”

    “I have nothing to apologize for. In my eyes, he was a terrorist. About what should I apologize? I apologize in hindsight that he wasn’t…that he was an Eritrean citizen. About that I do apologize.”

    So the guard does apologize for injuring the Eritrean.

    And where is it stated conclusively that the mob fired six shots into the victim?

    1. @You’ve missed the point. He had no basis to believe the victim was a terrorist. He had no right to attack him since he was already incapacitated. Half-assed, half-hearted, after-the-fact “apologies” are meaningless.

  2. @Hopper

    You are quibbling about details. Is that because you don’t want to face the main issue, the fact that in matters of “law enforcement” non-Jews are often treated as outlaws?

    The deeper issue is that this aggression towards the stranger is a result of fear – and that too is among “the pathologies of Israel’s guilty conscience”.

    1. “the pathologies of Israel’s guilty conscience”.

      The mob attack occurred after the terrorist murder of a soldier, whose body was laying on the floor next to the Eritrean. Also, the Eritrean was initially shot by a trigger happy Arab security officer, who, had a guilty conscience?

      1. Hopper when somebody works for Nazis he has to obey the rules of Nazis and what Nazis have ordered him to obey and follow. So blaming the Arab security officer is absurd. What would be interesting to know what were his detailed orders given by his Jewish commanders. Or the training he got.

        In German WW2 concentration camps a share of personnel were often non-Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, Latvians etc. Could Germans of that time or even of today say, that Germans were not guilty or less guilty because non-Germans did much of the butchering?

      2. “The mob attack occurred after the terrorist murder of a soldier, whose body was laying on the floor next to the Eritrean.”
        That’s simply a lie ! You haven’t even seen the live images of his killing to state such BS !

        “Also, the Eritrean was initially shot by a trigger happy Arab security officer”
        Thanks for confirming what I’ve always felt reading your hasbara: that you’re a plain racist. Not once have you used the label ‘trigger happy’ concerning all the killings by Jewish soldiers. And if this security guard is trigger happy it’s because the State he serves encourages him to be ‘trigger happy’.

        1. The guard was a trigger happy Arab idiot, and the Israeli security forces have plenty of Jewish trigger happy idiots.

          What makes me ill, is that only Jewish trigger happy idiots are ‘racist’, or have a ‘guilty conscience’ pathology.

          “That’s simply a lie ! ”

          No. I saw the video. The dying soldier is laying up against a kiosk in the center of the terminal, and the Eritrean comes into the terminal, crouching and crawling. The Eritrean was about a dozen feet from the soldier’s body when he was shot by a trigger happy idiot security guard.

          1. @ Hopper: How many Israeli Palestinian security personnel have killed/wounded suspected “Arab” terrorists? Not many. How many Israeli Jewish security personnel have murdered unarmed Palestinians? Thousands. You have your answer.

          2. “The dying soldier is laying up against a kiosk in the center of the terminal, and the Eritrean comes into the terminal, crouching and crawling. ”
            Where do you get the idea from that the soldier laying close to the kiosk is the one that was killed ? Four or five soldiers were wounded.
            You’re just trying to justify the killing of the Eritrean ….

    Richard’s story is mainly about the over the top reactions of that crowd and particularly of that officer in Israel’s “corrective services”, Ronen Cohen. You chose to concentrate on that trigger happy Arab security guard, for obvious reasons.

    The reaction of Cohen to his “mistake” seems to me characteristic of right wing Israel in general: stupid, self righteous and obdurate.

  4. “The reaction of Cohen to his “mistake” seems to me characteristic of right wing Israel in general: stupid, self righteous and obdurate.”

    Cohen is mouthing what his attorney tells him to say. Please.

  5. @Hopper

    If his attorney thought that was the most appropriate line to take, that what Cohen said there had most chance to be favourably received by a wider public, then it seems even more likely that this oaf’s obdurate disregard of some basic tenets of humanity is representative for that wider public.

  6. “I have nothing to apologize for. In my eyes, he was a terrorist. About what should I apologize? I apologize in hindsight that he wasn’t…that he was an Eritrean citizen. About that I do apologize. But to apologize for him being a terrorist? I don’t apologize. And if it happened again, and one time more, and twenty times more, I would act exactly the same way.”

    Sounds exactly like Naftali Bennett’s “no apology” campaign rhetoric. He knew who to preach to, that’s for sure. There are enough inbred idiots in the zionist state that begin to foam at the mouth at the notion of killing without consequences. Fuck this place.

  7. Quite a story. One would imagine that, racism apart, Israeli authorities (“security personnel”) would desire to capture or kill the original villain (a Palestinian stabbed and killed an IDF soldier and then began attacking bystanders). BTW, how’d they know and when did they learn that the stabber was a Palestinian? Did they capture him? Kill him? When? And when in relation to the other brutal events? Was he still active (knifing folks) while the other brutal event took place?

    Is it noraml in Israel, these days, to lynch somebody near a tragedy but AFTER the “perp” has been captured or killed or wounded? Is that what happened here? Or was action to deal with the “perp” happening at the same time that the brutalities describe here were taking place? do after-the-fact brutalities sometimes victimize Israeli (or other) Jews instead of Arabs and Eritreans?

    All the attention paid to the non-knife-wielder would seem to get in the way of capturing (etc.) the knife-wielder. So the successive brutalities paid to a cowering or crawling person far from the originally attacked person(s) seems quite a distraction from what in other times and places might be called “law enforcement”.

    So the distraction from law enforcement, if any, is another bad outcome of the otherwiswe over-the-top racist and brutal (especially the follow-up after the shooting by the trigger-happy shooter).
