News Brief Israeli officer removed after soldiers destroy journalists’ cameras
October 4, 2015 7:14am
JERUSALEM (JTA) –An Israeli military officer has been removed from his position after soldiers under his command which soldiers caught on film destroying cameras belonging to journalists.
During the Sept. 25 incident near Nablus in the West Bank, soldiers smashed the cameras of two photographers for the French news agency AFP as they filmed a Palestinian demonstration. The AFP said that one of the photographers was thrown to the ground and had a gun pointed at him as he looked for his press card.
The disciplinary action was announced on Friday, a day after a hearing before IDF Southern Command Chief of Staff Brigadier General Udi Ben-Moha. The IDF said it would consider whether to allow the officer to continue to serve in the military in any capacity. He was suspended after the incident.
“This was a serious incident from an ethical and command perspective that will be investigated and its lessons learned,” the IDF said in a statement.
The commander’s attorney, Eidan Pesach, said the officer, identified only as A, was “sacrificed on the altar of political and diplomatic interests.”
Other members of the officer’s battalion have said they will refuse to serve in the next operation in protest of the punishment.
More than 3,600 people have “liked” a Facebook page in support of officer A.
Soldiers Invade Home Of Slain Palestinian In Jerusalem, Kidnap Three Family Members

Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded, on Sunday morning, the home of Fadi Samir Alloun, 19 years of age, who was shot and killed at dawn, searched the property and attacked several family members, before kidnapping three.
Media sources in Jerusalem said dozens of soldiers surrounded al-Misrara area, in Bab al-'Amoud, and fired dozens of rubber-coated metal bullets, gas bombs and concussion grenades, wounding many Palestinians, including Hana' Hammad, a journalist working for the Al-Mayadeen TV.
The wounded journalist continued the media coverage, after medics bandaged half of her face.
Mahameed said the soldiers threw dozens of concussion grenades and sounds bombs at the Palestinians who flocked to the home of Fadi 'Alloun, and also targeted her, her team, and many other reporters.
The sources said the soldiers also confiscated mobile phones from the invaded home, and assaulted several women.
The invasion led to clashes between the invading soldiers and dozens of local youths, especially near the al-Arba'in Mosque, in al-Misrara.
Alloun is from the al-'Eesawiyya town, in occupied East Jerusalem; he was shot with seven live rounds in al-Misrara.
A video published by Israeli media agencies showed a several Israelis chasing the young man, who ran towards the police, while both of his hands were clearly visible, but an officer jumped out of a police car, and shot him dead.
Lawyer of Ad-Dameer Prisoners Support and Human Rights Association Mohammad Mahmoud, said the soldiers are still refusing to hand the bodies of 'Alloun, and Mohannad Shafiq Halabi, 19 years of age, who stabbed an armed Israeli, then shot several others after grabbing the gun from the man he stabbed.
In addition, clashes took place in several areas in occupied Jerusalem, especially in Bab Hatta and Bab Al-Asbat, leading to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
More clashes also took place near the Al-Quds University, in Abu Dis, east of occupied Jerusalem.
Every time I think I can identify with Israel and can sort of support Israel if I put an Israeli mindset on to see things only from Israel's perspective, Israel does something that I find abhorrent and I'm back to not being able to see Israel in a positive light.
Foreign photographers do not deserve to have their equipment smashed or to have guns drawn on them.
While the IDF is doing the proper thing officially by reprimanding the commander in charge, I find it absolutely disgusting that this commander's battalion say that they'll refuse to serve in the next operation as a protest.
It makes the IDF sound like scumbags -- scumbags with no discipline who should be court-marshalled as a battalion.
I'd hate to think how these men of the IDF behave towards the occupied people, when nobody's watching or filming.
Targeting news reporters covering the current raid on Palestinians (in the aftermath of Jerusalem stabbings) and assaulting women is getting pretty low.
How can Israel expect bystanders to support Israel (as in, the 'I Stand With Israel' promos) when Israel does things that aren't honourable?
As for the shooting of those that have carried out knife attacks, in a place like Israel I'd say it's probably to be expected, and I think it's a case of tough luck if that's the typical Israeli response, even if the civilised ideal would be to bring perpetrators before the courts.
So, while I can deal with an outright shooting of a perpetrator by Israel without upset, I draw the line at Israel then punishing and terrorising Palestinian families in violent military raids -- before, most likely, proceeding to demolish the homes of family members of perpetrators of attacks.
The guess is that Israel resorts to barbarity and overreaction in an effort to deter future attacks.
Not sure how effective the strategy is. It is perhaps a deterrent for some people, but obviously not all.
However freaked out I get about the current Islamic occupation of Europe, it's difficult not to sympathise with the Palestinian people who are a displaced and occupied people, and have been since the Western sanctioned creation of Israel 67 years ago.
People who identify as Jewish have come from countries from all over the world to take possession of a territory that was held by Kingdom of ancient Judea, hundreds of years ago, well before the fall of Rome.
However fascinating and amazing Jewish history is, the world of the ancient Judeans and the state of the ancient Judeans did not exist in 1948 Palestine.
Various modern people who identify as Jewish have moved into the world and existence of the in situ but stateless Palestinians, who have since been butchered, driven out and corralled in open prisons for decades. UN approval notwithstanding, the state of Israel is a foreign occupier.
The random attacks on Israelis are retaliatory attacks of an occupied people resisting the injustice and indignities of foreign occupation, and these incidents, however undesirable and horrific, are the consequence of resistance to Israeli occupation.
From what little I've seen on social media, there's considerable anger. And, yes, I can see how upsetting it would be to be the target of random violent attack. But Israelis forget that their presence is a foreign military occupation of almost 70 years.
I don't see how the Israeli-Palestine conflict can ever be resolved. Israel is unlikely to settle until it has occupied as much territory as it can, while the Palestinians will probably never be satisfied with being driven into some corner by foreign, armed occupation.
After being shot 7 times, Alloun’s body was kicked and dragged by settlers, according to local media reports. The settlers also stormed Palestinian houses and properties in the area.
Palestinian sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at least 27 people were wounded as Israeli military vehicles rolled into the Jenin refugee camp, in the West Bank, where Alloun's family lives.
Israeli forces arrested Alloun’s father, brother and uncle, despite no clear connection between the attack and the teenager's relatives has been drawn. The arrest elicited an exchange of fire between Israeli troops and Palestinian refugees.
Separately, Israeli troops stormed and raidedJenin city as well as the villages of Silat al-Harithiya, Arraba, Yaabad and al-Yamoun.
Israeli forces and Palestinians have been clashing at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for weeks, since Orthodox Jews backed by Israeli troops began disputing the holy site.
In what world do the military throw stun grenades in public places where the people aren't doing anything or resisting in any way?
And in what world do bystanders attack corpses and then attack Palestinian houses and properties in the local area?
The Israelis are every bit as primitive, deranged, and criminal as the Middle Eastern counterparts they're always casting as savages.
The raids on Palestinian villages, the wounding of numerous people, the military storming a refugee camp, and arrests of a number of family members, sounds like collective punishment the Nazi Germans would have resorted to.
