Thank you for this.

I’m hoping you can also see through the article.

This is more propaganda trying to justify the colonial brutality of Zionism.

-They refer to the victim as “the Palestinian”, dehumanizing him and thus trivializing his injuries.

-The idea that 16 different officers’ body cameras all fail simultaneously is suspect, to put it mildly.

-The fact that it took 16 highly trained people to restrain one person is difficult to believe. I will say, I am glad(? Bad word, but I can’t think of the right one) that they didn’t just murder the man and cover it up.

-This was a planned raid in Occupied East Jerusalem.

The officers knew who this man was, and where he was.

-The graphic of boot shoelaces is unbelievable. Fabric laces don’t cause that type of skin damage while keeping the surrounding skin untouched.
