A Palestinian man who was detained by Israeli forces in occupied East Jerusalem said he has been physically abused after officers brutally beat him and branded the Star of David on his cheek, according to Israeli media reports.
And the world is supporting Israel because? It's okay because they are Jews and if you say anything contrary you are an anti-semite and or a Nazi?
Speaking of Nazi, the nazis did the exact fucking thing to the jews. Boy how the turn tables
If anyone wrote a fictional story like this, people would call it over the top, silly, far-fetched… reality is fucking dummer than fiction I guess. Not to excuse evil, this is evil, not dumbness.
Quote that stuck from a history class I took years ago:
'A key difference between fiction and history is that fiction generally has to make sense or it doesn't circulate and you aren't exposed to it. With history, whatever happens happens, and whether or not there's any rhyme or reason to it doesn't matter: it becomes history.'
Also reminds me of this post, which kinda puts into perspective just how fucking weird a lot of history was as it was unfolding. Studying it after the fact we can get a sense of "oh that must have been shocking" but we don't really get a sense of the absolute "...........what the actual fuck...?!" going through the heads of the people at that time:

Makes me wonder if the batshit insanity of the circumstances of Trump's presidency will actually be captured by history, or if it will just get boiled down to "...the US then elected a talkshow host famous for his orange face. It went poorly; and the next president was..."
I mean yeah that’s true. Reality doesn’t have to make sense. It exists and that’s it.
I would love to see history books 100 years from now, how people would handle all the craziness in the world…
Israel is made of Israelis. Israel != Jews.
Yeah, my bad to paint all Isrealis to be all of the jewish faith.
Correct. Also Israel has to exist for the Christian end time prophecy to be true.
the world is supporting Israel because?
Because historically, it was a disaster for Jews to not have their own nation, but be a (n often persecuted) minority in other countries.
Or it still is to this day, but now they have at least one more or less safe retreat on Earth. Yes, many other peoples still don't have that.
It’s okay because
No! Police violence and abuse are NOT okay. Saying this as an atheist, anti-religious, anti-fascist from Germany.
We can and should condemn the atrocious misbehavior of the police, while still supporting the right of the Israeli nation to exist, which is tied to the basic human right of Jewish people to live.

Sure we should condemn the misbehavior of the police which is part of the state (executive), right? So we should condemn the misbehavior of the the isreal state, right?
It's just colonialism with a different coat of paint, huh?
Exactly.
Edited the post to show the image of Israeli barbarism. This is happening NOW in Palestine. This is happening to innocent people. There is NO EXCUSE. Zionism and Israeli barbarism must end.
It's been happening for decades and the US still covers it up as always and defends the apartheid. Not even Joe Biden will do anything about it but hey, that's what you get with 80 year old boomers who probably would sacrifice everyone's lives to defend that apartheid state
Terrorist state doing terrorism
statements of the israeli police about this:
source (in hebrew, includes an image of some of the victims wounds and an image of the shoelaces)
I do find it beliveable that the star of david was unintentional (the actual shape, not the kick to the face), which of course doesn't make this case any more justified, but it wouldn't suprise me that much if it was intentional.
according to the israeli police, the cameras on the 16 officers where off because of a “technical error”.
what a strange coincidence.
Thank you for this.
I’m hoping you can also see through the article.
This is more propaganda trying to justify the colonial brutality of Zionism.
-They refer to the victim as “the Palestinian”, dehumanizing him and thus trivializing his injuries.
-The idea that 16 different officers’ body cameras all fail simultaneously is suspect, to put it mildly.
-The fact that it took 16 highly trained people to restrain one person is difficult to believe. I will say, I am glad(? Bad word, but I can’t think of the right one) that they didn’t just murder the man and cover it up.
-This was a planned raid in Occupied East Jerusalem.
The officers knew who this man was, and where he was.
-The graphic of boot shoelaces is unbelievable. Fabric laces don’t cause that type of skin damage while keeping the surrounding skin untouched.
Holy shit
