“In a statement on Monday the IDF said the soldier had “asked a Palestinian who approached” a military post to “step away.”

“In response, the Palestinian began recording and cursing the soldier. A verbal confrontation followed, which soon became a physical confrontation, during which the soldier hit the Palestinian,” the IDF statement said.”

In a shocking turn of events, the IDF account was fiction and Wright was able to post the video receipts. I would definitely be afraid of an occupation force that felt this comfortable lying about things they know can be refuted by journalists’ video recordings.

Before this story even made it on Twitter, the IDF already put the soldier in jail. Clearly his conduct was bad and swiftly dealt with.

>The Israeli soldier who was filmed assaulting Amro in Hebron was sentenced to 10 days in military jail.

So why did they say this first? Did the IDF lie and once caught they decided to save face?

Nvm, checked your post history and your account basically exist only to comment on Israel/Palestine issues trying to do PR for Israel
