    Justice Ministry spokeswoman Eden Klein said Monday that an investigation is underway.

    The incident happened Sunday after Israeli forces shot and wounded a Palestinian woman who police said had pulled out a knife and tried to attack an officer.

    Footage shot by a local resident shows the woman on the ground bleeding and officers ordering Palestinians to keep away. One officer flips over a Palestinian’s wheelchair, dumping him on the ground.

    The last five months have seen near-daily Palestinian assaults that have killed 27 Israelis. At least 162 Palestinians, the majority of whom Israel says were attackers, have been killed by Israeli fire.

    As Ban Ki Moon if that’s a “natural response” to prolonged terrorism. I say, what are we Arabs?

    we need to be extra careful not to be filmed. I hope we eliminate as many terrorists as possible even if in the tens of thousands range.

    Disgusting, criminal behaviour. The Border Guards are the the most vicious, lowest elements of society.

    When Israel is being admonished for its conduct by other countries, it should ask them what would they have done, if they had faced such terror, so it could apply their procedures to quell the unrest,

    If a Palestinian border guard did that to a Jew in a wheelchair, the Arabs wouldn’t investigate – oh, maybe investigate to find out why he didn’t kill the Jew.

    These videos always start with the Israeli abuse. I’m not saying this is justifiable, but I would like to see the lead-up to this. It is very likely that they told everyone to clear the area, and the man in the wheelchair went closer. The palestinians are known to use these tricks all the time. They have journalists, and medical crews interfere with police, and then they publish videos of Israeli police pepper spraying them, but they start the video from the Israeli abuse. Never showing the Palestinians instigations.

    If he was told to stay away yet came too close, what should the soldier do? Give him a hug and risk being stabbed?

    I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the wheelchair was right very close to the woman who tried to stab, and at the same time there was a recording of the incident…not, not at all. This was staged, as what they want is for the world to feel anger against Israel. This is part of their propaganda. Why do you think the soldier kicked the wheelchair? Something was going on…
