Shalom Eisner, Israeli Defense Force Officer, Hits Denmark Protester In Face With M16 Rifle, Is Suspended

Shalom Eisner, Israeli Defense Force Officer, Hits Denmark Protester In Face With M16 Rifle, Is Suspended: "This incident is the latest in a string of events the Israeli army has conducted when it comes to human rights violation. If it wasn't for the video, it would have been denied, obfuscated and dismissed like so many other human rights violation. The Israeli government has its own propaganda machine as it wants the world to know that it is the perpetual victim in these conflicts. Never mind that they have the bullets and bombs to the rock throwing crowd. The campaign for peace looks forever hopeless when hardliners on both sides find new ways to gum up the process while new victims are produced with tactics like this. My memory of a 13 year old unarmed Palestinian boy being pinned to a wall while his dead father lay near stays with me on this ABC News footage. The Israeli soldier kept firing as this boy was crouched down trying not to get hit but unfortunately the soldier found his mark. The Israeli government said they would investigate but it never did. The boy and his father were innocent, why did they had to needlessly die?"
