statements of the israeli police about this:

I do find it beliveable that the star of david was unintentional (the actual shape, not the kick to the face), which of course doesn’t make this case any more justified, but it wouldn’t suprise me that much if it was intentional.
what a strange coincidence.

Thank you for this.
I’m hoping you can also see through the article.
This is more propaganda trying to justify the colonial brutality of Zionism.
-They refer to the victim as “the Palestinian”, dehumanizing him and thus trivializing his injuries.
-The idea that 16 different officers’ body cameras all fail simultaneously is suspect, to put it mildly.
-The fact that it took 16 highly trained people to restrain one person is difficult to believe. I will say, I am glad(? Bad word, but I can’t think of the right one) that they didn’t just murder the man and cover it up.
-This was a planned raid in Occupied East Jerusalem.
The officers knew who this man was, and where he was.
-The graphic of boot shoelaces is unbelievable. Fabric laces don’t cause that type of skin damage while keeping the surrounding skin untouched.
