The difference is this policeman will not suffer any consequenses other then a minor slap on the wrist for getting caught. It is murder, plain and simple and it happens every day in Israel and the West Bank. We only hear about it when there are witneses or video.

The point of the short article is the brutality that happen on an almost daily basis against palestinians. Sorry the article is short, I didn't write it. But here is a longer one for you.

In this instance a 91 year old man, his 17 year old grandson and another fellow were killed for the horrible crime of tending their fields. After the killing the official Israeli line was that they were terrorists so the killing was justified. WHEN the IDF discovered the age of those killed they retracted the terrorist line. I suppose ONE point would be the Israelis do not put any value on Palestinian life.

This of course could happen anywhere. The difference is this policeman will not suffer any consequenses other then a minor slap on the wrist for getting caught. It is murder, plain and simple and it happens every day in Israel and the West Bank. We only hear about it when there are witneses or video. The Israeli mindset seems to be that Palestinians are lessor humans and their lives are worthless.

No, this is just four cases in one months- 3 done by settlers, and one by soldiers, nothing about cops. Again you bring a mish mash of anacdotes to streangthen your weak arguement that cops kill Palestinians every day.
And no, I haven't heard of these.. Doesn't mean they didn't happen, I just don't read the news that often.. And even if they weren't reported, doesn't mean that they didn't happen..
But keep in mind that just because they ended up on some blog or some "informal" new site, doesn't mean that they did happen..
News articles are faked, doctored and edited all the time in the name of a greater purpose..
I wouldn't believe all I read on blogs, why should you?
Have you ever been to Israel? Ever talked to soldiers? I can tell you no soldier would do the things you've described..
Can we stop it with all the unconfirmed reports?
(If they have been confirmed by a credible news source just post it)..
And can you all stop just assuming that Israel is guilty?

Not just Palestinians. In some respects, the Palestinian cause actually masks a greater truth: Jewish scriptures call non-Jews Goyim, which means unclean.
Non-Jewish human life means absolutely nothing to these people. Here are some quotes from the Talmud:
A Jew may rob a Goy, he may cheat him over a bill, which should not be perceived by him, otherwise the name of God would become dishonoured.
This is the attitude which informs the genocide of the Palestinians, and the Zionist vicious and brutal attempts to exterminate 2/3 of the world population, and why the Big Banksters, run by Zionists, are stealing every penny they can from the people of the world.

'JUST' four cases in one month. That's ok then, only four, nothing to worry about. I wonder if their families feel the same.
The brutality of the Israeli police, even against Israelis who protest the settlements, is documented by Haaretz

Eliad- You asked what Israelis have contact with the Palestinians? And then said "only settlers and the IDF." I might point out the settlers and members of the IDF are also Israelis.You went on to suggest that the IDF is made up of 18 year old kids and they make mistakes. Eliad, I cannot remember an instance where an 18 year old was responsible for an act of brutality against Palestinians, although it might have occurred.
You asked if I could really judge an Israeli soldier that easily. Actually I am not judgeing anyone, only their senseless acts of brutality which you also see as not being right.
You know Eliad, I often post about police in the US beating citizens so don't think I have any sort of agenda against Israelis- I don't. I know most Israelis are good and decent people. Incidently I travel to Israel on business monthly so I have a clear understanding of the diferences between the settlers and the folks in the bigger cities.
I have many good friends in Tel Aviv. These same good friends would not want Arabs living next door to them for fear of the security of their families.
None the less, violence against our fellow human beings must not be tolerated, no matter who does it
