Israeli Army Commander Suspended for Stealing Fruit From Palestinian Vendor

[BHarwana]

An investigation has been opened into a commander who was caught on video taking apples from a vendor's stall while deployed to keep the peace.

An Israeli army squad commander has been suspended Saturday after being filmed stealing fruit from a Palestinian vendor’s stand after clashes in the West Bank town of Hebron.

Soldiers from the Givati brigade deployed in Hebron had been in the area near Hebron’s market to deal with any disturbances following the American recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. While in the area the squad commander allegedly spotted a stand whose vendor had left due to disturbances.

In a video that has been posted on the internet, the squad commander, who apparently did not notice Palestinians filming him, is seen taking three apples from the stand and passing them out to the soldiers who were with him.

Immediately after the video surfaced, the Israeli army began investigating the incident and came to the conclusion that it was in fact the squad commander who took the apples, taking advantage of the fact that the vendor had been forced to leave his stand unattended.

The Israel Defense Force spokesman confirmed that the squad commander took fruit from stand and called the incident “conduct inconsistent with what is expected of an IDF soldier and commander.” The incident has been investigated and the commander has been suspended from his position and will face disciplinary action, the spokesman said.

I don't understand one thing why Jews came to Palestine after Nazi Germany was invaded because at that time the threat to Jews was over. I would love to see Pakistan unite with Jews not with Israel. Go back to Germany claim the actual land Jews were deprived of by Nazis and leave the poor Palestinians alone.

Trump will be very happy, send him some apples too.

The Israeli military has been flamed online after news of its suspending a squad commander. The IDF said it didn’t condone his act of stealing apples from a Palestinian street vendor, which he did amid a crackdown on protests in occupied West Bank.
The unit from the Givati brigade was deployed to to Hebron and patrolled an area near the Palestinian city’s market on Saturday, when the act of petty theft took place, according to Haaretz. The soldiers had been ordered to deal with any disturbance in the wake of Washington’s recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.

The unidentified squad commander seized an opportunity to take three apples from an abandoned vendor stall and share them with his subordinates. He probably didn’t expect that anyone outside of the squad would notice, but the episode was not only witnessed but also filmed by a group of Palestinians hiding in a building nearby. The video was published online and quickly went viral.

The IDF responded by suspending the man from his position until a full investigation is conducted. A spokesman for the military said the thief was facing disciplinary action. The IDF also made a statement on its Twitter account, saying it “does not condone this behavior”. The responses to the tweet, some of which are in broken but intelligible English, are probably not what the Israeli command would like to see.

“Steal a fruit and getting caught on video: NOOOOO! Massacring thousands of Palestinians: self-defence! Israeli logic!” mocked the Palestine Info Center‏, one of several accounts which tweeted the video of the theft.

“Try not to worry about it, we understand how dangerous those young rebellious fruits pose to your security...you did what you had to do, Yeh,” another reply said.

“It’s as if you know people hate you for the messed up things you’ve done and you’re desperately trying to win their support,” said another one.

Some recalled the murder trial of IDF Sergeant Elor Azaria, who shot dead an already-incapacitated Palestinian knife attacker in Hebron in 2016. Many senior Israeli officials called for an acquittal and later for a pardon after Azaria was found guilty of the lesser offence of manslaughter.

Mighty israel stealing apples from poor Palestinians, what a disgrace just imagine what is not captured on camera. send some to trump too.

 

[zartosht]

pathetic...... they wont even pass up the opportunity to steal apples from some poor street vendor trying to scrape together a living... What mercy will they show when it comes to stealing big things like land/property?

it takes a special kind of savage to steal from a destitute individual like that. I don't see how any normal human being with a conscience can eat that food, knowing its stolen from someone living a life of poverty?

absolutely sickening. These Zionists truly are savages
