Just in the last few days.

Half of their youth believe Israeli Arabs should not have the same rights as Jews.

The poll was commissioned last month by Maagar Mochot, an Israeli research institution, under the supervision of Prof. Yitzhak Katz. It took a sampling of 536 Jewish and Arab respondents between the ages of 15-18.
A mixture of 536 children between 15 & 18 does not make a valid study no matter what news agency decides to report it. Highly skewed.

Eisner, the deputy commander of the IDF's Jordan Valley brigade, told friends: "I erred in my response." However, he claimed that the video clip broadcast on Israeli television and websites was an edited fragment of a much longer confrontation between the army and a group of international pro-Palestinian activists in the West Bank on Saturday.
Sometimes people make stupid decisions. But since you posted this, why don't you post the un-edited version of the video showing what happened before this and what led up to his reaction?

We can count on you Neil to make excuses for every crime your home country commits. It's part of who you are.

The "soldier" was just being "stupid" and the poll was flawed.

The Israeli government is controlled by bigots, put there because people like you vote for them....it's shameful.

They are far worse than the South African Aparthied government ever was.

Here's is a longer version of the video and of course it doesn't mitigate in any way what the soldier did.

A member of the Israeli Parliament praised the soldier saying "Well done!"

This is the mindset of your average Israeli. Brutal bigots and/or supporters of brutal bigots.

This fraud that they are open minded, arts loving, citizens with Western values is a sick joke.
