Israel shoked by mistreatment of palestinian voilinist

www.guardian.co.uk...

It seems the shooting of the yong girl did not cause as much uproar as this incident with a violinist at a checkpoint.

Quote from Guardian

"While the officer responsible for killing Iman al-Hams has been charged with relatively minor offences, and the soldiers who forced the violinist to play were ticked off for being "insensitive", the only troops who were swiftly punished for violating regulations last week were some who posed naked in the snow for a photograph. They were dismissed from their unit."


Very interesting here is the reasons offered for the Israeli reaction to this... it seems the violin brings back memories from the german camps.

Only this stirs them enough to question their actions? Hmmm...
