JERUSALEM: Israeli border guards have posted videos online in which they humiliate Palestinians, including ordering a young man to sing and slap himself, Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported.
In one video clip posted on YouTube the man is ordered to repeatedly slap himself in the face while chanting “I love the border police” as off-screen border guards laugh and cheer him on.
“Say one hummus, one ful (fava beans), I love the border guard,” the off-screen voice says. The 43-second video clip was uploaded less than a year ago under the category “Comedy.” According to the daily the clip has been viewed by more than 2,800 people.
After 40 seconds, the abusers appear to have had enough and the voice impatiently orders the victim: Go, Go, Go. The camera turns and for a fraction of a second a border police jeep is visible. The daily added that a few dozen viewers sent comments. “Ha ha ha, it was great the way he excruciated himself.” Another added: “That’s how it should be!” And a third pointed out, “He should have been shot!” A few viewers took pity on the victim, though with reservations.
