In West Bank it’s pretty much a bother for anyone bothering IDF. It’s an area under military occupation so they apply military rules and laws. If you break the law you will get a strickt military sentence not the lenient Israeli civilian one. Unless you have an Israeli ID.
DW are not unique. IDF tells all journalists to go away. They will tell you to stop filming many times over, then start raising their voice, then force you to leave. Journalists just want to ask questions, but IDF is never there to answer them so it’s always this battle back and forth. Keep in mind these soldiers can’t answer anything either as they have a rudimentary military training they don’t actually know anything about politics. Their answers are useless anyhow. They are there to make sure no one breaks the law. That’s it.
This applies to protestors and West Bank activists too. Many protests turn violent with stone throwers hiding in bushes then running away. So IDF is always on edge and the more DW journalists stick around to annoy them to answer the more IDF will get nervous. It’s absolutely how it works as I’ve seen it many times on video.
It’s seen in this documentary. He interviews the most extreme settlers.
The israelis burned farms, vechiels and then the military killed a palestinian 18 year old after the attack.
The israelis seem to operate under the Einsatzgruppen model: the settlers come in burn, kill and destroy. The military finishes off any resistance. The israeli troops are always at the wings of these attacks, ready to swoop in to defend them incase resistance escalates.
Israelis play it off by saying “don’t break the law”, “don’t throw rocks”. While ignoring everything else.

Will many Western politicians, intellectuals, and bureaucrats continue to stay silent about Israel’s unlawful actions and human rights violations?
Criticizing and opposing what Israel and the Netanyahu government are doing does not make Europe a supporter of terrorism or anti-Semitic. On the contrary, Israelis are currently being subjected to intense
propaganda and their minds are being manipulated by the Netanyahu government. I believe Europeans should not remain silent and should take action to protect both Israelis and Palestinians.

The Israeli government is far past this point. It’s better to realize this, before risking one’s life.

Once again there was probably a Hamas command post or weapons cache conveniently sitting right under the DW team’s feet.

IDF is one of the world’s most disgusting terrorist organizations

Crazy considering DW works overtime to spread Islamophobic nonsense that right wing Germans (and other Europeans) cling onto religiously. Friendly fire?

Germany has been so emasculated. Its own state broadcaster is being harassed and they still are opposing even the most basic sanctions.

The title tends to mislead, at least I was first expecting they got lethal targeted:
„All three wore protective gear clearly marked “PRESS.” Nevertheless, the soldiers fired tear gas, hitting the group, but no one was injured.“

Best part is that I would not be surprised if DW still defends Israel attacking its own team.

Fucking butchers man
A bbc team filmed an attack by settlers a week ago
