An Israeli Border Police officer has been caught on video kicking a Palestinian child in the southern West Bank. The police have launched a probe into the incident, documented by an Israeli human rights organization. The footage shows a 9-year-old boy walking down the road when a uniformed police officer runs up to him and grabs him by the arm, causing the boy to fall on the ground. Another policeman then walks up to them and kicks the screaming child. After that, the soldiers let the child run away, and leave the site. In response to the incident, the Israeli Border Police issued a statement denouncing the policemen's behavior, which it claims “contrasts the values of the force.” “The Border Police commander instructed on setting up a team to investigate the incident immediately and its conclusions are due in the coming days," the statement said. The boy, Abdul-Rahman Burqan, testified to the Israeli police that the soldiers chased him after he swore at one of the officers. He also claimed an Israeli soldier had stomped on his hand after he and his friend were stopped at a checkpoint in a separate incident a month ago. The video was recorded by a volunteer of the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B'Tselem) on June 29 in Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank. The organization distributes cameras to Palestinians so that they can film possible instances of abuse carried out by Israeli security forces and settlers. http://www.rt.com/news/israel-police-officer-kicks-palestinian-child-437/ watch it. http://www.rt.com/news/israel-police-officer-kicks-palestinian-child-437/ Some reports suggest that the boy was throwing rocks at police officers before the camera started rolling. No name no source no nothing just propaganda spin and that is very typical of the information one gets from our corrupt and rotten media. How could any honest editor leave that in a story? It is obvious in any case that the Palestinian was provoking the soldier to elicit a reaction. Eventually he was able to get his reaction. Since rock throwing is a common (and dangerous) occurrence I would not be at all surprised if the soldier had rocks thrown at him and a normal reaction to that is no surprise. |

Here are what some Israelis are saying about the incident. Blogs » Ali Abunimah's blog ‘It’s a shame they didn’t kill him’: Israelis react to video of soldiers kicking Palestinian child Submitted by Ali Abunimah on Mon, 07/02/2012 - 22:34 Eden Oreus (Gedera Regional High School): Channel 2, you are the garbage of the state, all respect to the Border Police officer and it’s a shame he didn’t put a bullet in the head of the son of a ***** videographer who documented it. This posting from a high schooler was one of hundreds by Israeli Facebook users reacting with pride and joy, and incitement to violence and murder, on seeing a video of Israeli occupation soldiers in Hebron kicking a young Palestinian boy as he screams in pain. The video, shot by a Palestinian videographer and released by B’Tselem, was widely reported in the Israeli media, and shows Israeli occupation soldiers in Hebron, occupied West Bank, violently assaulting a child whom B’Tselem identified as Abd al-Rahman Burqan, aged 9. B’Tselem described the incident captured on film as follows: The video shows a Border Police officer ambushing a child from around the corner. As the child walks past, the officer grabs him by the arm and says: “why are you making trouble?” The officer then drags the child, who is screaming, on the ground for a few seconds. A second Border Police officer then appears and kicks the boy. The officer then lets the child go. He runs away, and the two Border Police officers leave the scene as well. Jessica Montell, the director of B’Tselem, said Israeli occupation authorities had opened an investigation into the incident, however in practice such investigations almost never lead to accountability and punishment of routine violence against Palestinians. J Montell, B'Tselem @JessicaMontell Though rare to catch on film, Border Police violence against Palestinians is unfortunately not a rare occurrence: btselem.org/annual_report_… 2 Jul 12 Reply Retweet Favorite On Facebook: Calls for the child to be shot On the Facebook Page of Israel’s Channel 2, dozens of Israeli Facebook users posted comments congratulating the soldiers and calling for more violence against children. Avishy Nappe, for example, wrote that he would have put “five bullets through the head” of the boy. Many Facebook users justified the violence against the child, claiming – without any evidence whatsoever – that he must have thrown rocks and therefore deserved the kicking. Eliran Zarbiv wrote: This boy threw stones a few minutes before the two soldiers, and wounded one of them in the head (the soldier who kicked) then the other soldier just managed to catch him, I have a friend in the [army] unit there – all honor to the IDF you are doing a great job Keep at it! If it were me, I would have smashed a [concrete] block on his head! Not just a kick! Racist comments pervasive It is important to emphasize that these kinds of racist and violent comments are not exceptional, but are pervasive and common. There are hundreds of them – far too numerous to translate and on Channel 2’s Facebook page they appear to far outnumber opposing sentiments. Of course some Israelis expressed “shame” at the violent and racist comments, and on many occasions were denounced as “lefists” or worse for doing so. On the Facebook page of “100,000 Protestors Against the Occupation,” which drew attention to the racist comments on Channel 2’s page, for example, there were comments by a handful of Israeli Facebook users strongly condemning and lamenting the racism and calls for violence. These are a few of the earliest comments posted in response to the Channel 2 item on the video: Daniel Deri: It’s a shame he didn’t smash his face, the son of a ***** threw stones before. I wish each and every member of B’Tselem would die, those human scum. Dan Malka: This should be done to all those children Tal Avraham: Look at what you are writing … racists. Do you understand that what you are writing here is inhumane… You are disgusting and inhumane, sorry, but that’s the truth. Kfir Levi: This time the little terrorist got off lightly. Ariel Davidpur: The Border Police are the hero! It’s a shame he didn’t kill him with the kick. Shira Oktan: Why all respect? It’s a child Aviran Ezer: Since he’ll grow up to be a terrorist, it’s a shame he wasn’t killed. The racism and incitement widely expressed online following this video echoes an incident earlier this year when many Israelis on Facebook expressed joy over the deaths of Palestinian children in a road accident. http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/its-shame-they-didnt-kill-him-israelis-react-video-soldiers-kicking-palestinian |

There is a good chance that the kid was sent intentionally to insult soldiers repeatedly in order to try to provoke one out of hundreds who is having a bad day to react so they can film it. It is the Pallywood version of "cyberbaiting". 
"One of the new ways that students are harassing teachers has become known as "cyberbaiting." Students irritate a teacher to the point that the teacher breaks down; that reaction then is captured in photos or video to post online. A Norton Online Family Report published last year found that 21 percent of teachers had experienced or knew another teacher who had experienced "cyberbaiting." http://hosted2.ap.org/CAANR/APUSnews/Article_2012-06-23-Bus%20Monitor%20Bullying/id-9f9ab1d1829342419583f2202f8be294 Clearly there was inciting behavior on the part of the kid who taunted the Israelis. It is obvious in any case that the Palestinian was provoking the soldier to elicit a reaction. Eventually he was able to get his reaction. Since rock throwing is a common (and dangerous) occurrence I would not be at all surprised if the soldier had rocks thrown at him and a normal reaction to that is no surprise. It is a shame how the kids are taught there to hate Israelis and to incite violence. They are cheaply abused kids by their own parents and own governments. They are treated like expendable tools. Matches to light fires of hate. see: http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=33&x_article=94 Jihad and martyrdom are glorified as the means to liberating "Palestine" and children's poems contain calls to war and bloodletting. Fifth graders memorize such lines as, "I shall take my soul in my hand and hurl it into the abyss of death." The same verses are recited by children on official Palestinian television. Sixth-graders read of a young boy growing up with "the love of Jihad flowing through his veins and filling every fiber of his being." "Joy" comes only at "the sight of the enemy lying dead" or "fleeing for their lives." and also the video http://youtu.be/M529qurtDY0 |

So what witnesses were brought forth to to prove this claim? What were their names? Did they interview the troops involved? Nope non of that. Just a quick spin job of "someone was throwing stones some were so we kicked a kid.

The kid who got kicked was one witness! From your own original post on the topic! The boy, Abdul-Rahman Burqan, testified to the Israeli police that the soldiers chased him after he swore at one of the officers.
So at the very least the kid was provoking them by taunting. And it would not be surprising if it went a lot further than that - that is only as far as the kid would admit to his instigation. Read the articles on teaching hate and provocation to violence in my post above. see: http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_context=2&x_outlet=33&x_article=94 Jihad and martyrdom are glorified as the means to liberating "Palestine" and children's poems contain calls to war and bloodletting. Fifth graders memorize such lines as, "I shall take my soul in my hand and hurl it into the abyss of death." The same verses are recited by children on official Palestinian television. Sixth-graders read of a young boy growing up with "the love of Jihad flowing through his veins and filling every fiber of his being." "Joy" comes only at "the sight of the enemy lying dead" or "fleeing for their lives." and also the video http://youtu.be/M529qurtDY0 |

From your own original post on the topic! QUOTE: The boy, Abdul-Rahman Burqan, testified to the Israeli police that the soldiers chased him after he swore at one of the officers. You forgot to mention and this is from the original post above that the boy had his hand stomped on a month before. "The boy, Abdul-Rahman Burqan, testified to the Israeli police that the soldiers chased him after he swore at one of the officers. He also claimed an Israeli soldier had stomped on his hand after he and his friend were stopped at a checkpoint in a separate incident a month ago." So it was the second time his human rights were violated. maybe he said "that is the same guy who stomped my hand" |

El bastardo was probably throwing rocks at them before hand (edited out of course for more dramatics) and that kick in the a ss was an attention getter, no big deal from what I saw...next! |

If an army boot stomps on a kids hand, I would reckon his hand would be in a cast.

I am sure if it was your child you would be a little upset.

From your source (B'Tselem video):
In response to the incident, the Israeli Border Police issued a statement denouncing the policemen's behavior, which it claims “contrasts the values of the force.” “The Border Police commander instructed on setting up a team to investigate the incident immediately and its conclusions are due in the coming days," the statement said. Perhaps, it would be wise to await the outcome of this investigation before generating unnecessary hysteria? Your source has also been implicated in the 'staging' controversy that has dogged France2 (see below). http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142683 |

Its an ugly world when US tax dollars support brutality.
The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough — more than enough — of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success.

A couple of months later his administration encourages the president of South Vietnam to be overthrown and assassinated. You could probably find a quote from Eichmanns trial in Israel where he said he was doing the jews a favor by getting them out of germany. That would be about as appropriate as this Kennedy one. |

Another policeman then walks up to them and kicks the screaming child. After that, the soldiers let the child run away, and leave the site. In response to the incident, the Israeli Border Police issued a statement denouncing the policemen's behavior, which it claims “contrasts the values of the force.” “The Border Police commander instructed on setting up a team to investigate the incident immediately and its conclusions are due in the coming days," the statement said. The boy, Abdul-Rahman Burqan, testified to the Israeli police that the soldiers chased him after he swore at one of the officers. He also claimed an Israeli soldier had stomped on his hand after he and his friend were stopped at a checkpoint in a separate incident a month ago. The video was recorded by a volunteer of the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B'Tselem) on June 29 in Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank. The organization distributes cameras to Palestinians so that they can film possible instances of abuse carried out by Israeli security forces and settlers. http://www.rt.com/news/israel-police-officer-kicks-palestinian-child-437/ watch it. http://www.rt.com/news/israel-police-officer-kicks-palestinian-child-437/ Some reports suggest that the boy was throwing rocks at police officers before the camera started rolling. No name no source no nothing just propaganda spin and that is very typical of the information one gets from our corrupt and rotten media. How could any honest editor leave that in a story? It is obvious in any case that the Palestinian was provoking the soldier to elicit a reaction. Eventually he was able to get his reaction. Since rock throwing is a common (and dangerous) occurrence I would not be at all surprised if the soldier had rocks thrown at him and a normal reaction to that is no surprise.
