Soldiers defend their comrade

after the army charged him with shooting a blinded and handcuffed Palestinian with rubber bullet.
Acting upon his commander’s order, the soldier fired a single rubber bullet into the Palestinian’s leg, causing him no wound whatsoever. Lt.-Col. Omri denies giving an order.
The incident was filmed by a Palestinian armed with video camera from the Jewish anti-Semitic group B’Tselem.
Israeli soldiers became powerless against myriad of Palestinian, Jewish ultra-left, and foreign demonstrators who routinely attack the army near Nilin village. It is impossible to prosecute and sentence thousands of participants in the violent demonstrations, and using minor force against them is the soldiers’ only option.
