I love how they minimize it in every way possible, saying the video has been edited, and that the result was only a "swollen toe", before claiming that they're going to investigate. Yeah, I think we can see just how seriously they take this incident.

no wonder they trying to blow up isreal those jew motherfuckers. stop sucking american money with out america the Arabs would rape you in the ass you guys are no better than flies on shit.

Isra-shit is a racist, supremacist, and genocidal mob. They preach the other countries to acept inmigration but they not want nor the palestinians into their society.

@zxcv1234vcxz I would agree with you, but I would be very careful about saying "the jews" every time you make an argument about israel. That's not fair because not all jews are supportive of what israel does to palestinians. It is much better to use more descriptive language, because that does not allow people to get the idea that israel represents all jews (as it wants people to think) or more importantly, that judaism itself is evil or somehow to blame.

@n8glenn - Israel is as much a "democracy" as South Africa was under apartheid. Only one small population has any rights, the rest are terrorized and treated as untermenschen.

As per usual, the jews are committing war crimes that the Nazis were convicted of at Nuremburg.

[zxcv1234vcxz]

Every time the jews "investigate" themselves, it's always a whitewash. In the terrorist raid on the Turkish boat a year ago, protesters were shot point blank range in the head with pistols, not assault rifles. Those are not shootings during a raid, those are executions and are war crimes.

the part with the guy shooting him in the foot is soo not edited. IDF and bald faced lies are natural companions.

Im personally sickened by all the Anti-Jewish & Anti- Muslim comments I see here

I know a Girl from Israel and she & her family are lovely & I Have Muslim friends aswell. Both wish for peace between Muslim & Jews. I think those soldiers as individuals should be punished for shooting an unarmed prisoner in the foot (even if its a rubber bullet). Palestine should no longer be oppressed & the People of Israel, Gaza & Palestine should be able to live in peace with equal rights. Long term peace now

Israel Always says it will investigate . Really? Jew math is 1+1 =6 million . If Jews are so smart they should know that mathematically that they do not have enough Jews to investigate their crimes against Goyim. This would also proof that what none Jews have been saying all along. Never show your work to a Jew period for he / she is professional thief and will pass your work off as theirs with the help of other Jews all in order to further the BS that they are superior than none Jews.

@dorot222 Because the zionist israeli jew fuck has no business pointing a gun at anyone asshole.

@dorot222 I don't know why you have such a problem with democracy, but I'll tell you what my prediction for the future is, when the fascists in charge of israel have got all the arabs safely locked up in cages, they'll turn on you next, and then you just might wish you really did live in a democracy, instead of a fascist rogue state. And unfortunately, at that point there won't be anybody to help you or defend your human rights because the US government doesn't care one bit about you.
