Awful. They do claim he had a slingshot, and was doing more than protesting. Regardless, the whole scene reflects the hatred which continues to prevent peace.

If this is the kid I'm thinking of, Israeli officials claim he attacked the police with a knife before the video started.

Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Daniel Danon told FOX News this morning the teen was beaten after attacking police with a knife.

quote:

“When you look at the pictures it doesn’t look so good. But, when you look at the pictures before you had six teenagers being involved with knives attacking the police officers. And when they were able to arrest them they resisted the arrest. So, I’m not happy about the picture. It will be fully investigated but sometimes when somebody is attacking a police officer with a knife the use of force, not just in the US, but in Israel (is necessary). So you have to look at the full picture.”

Well said. And who (besides some idiots on this board) could blame a kid for picking up a slingshot after what happened to his cousin.

Shows why the death of the other 3 kids should be kept in perspective.
