<\/a>Israeli soldiers threatening Palestinian-owned sheep<\/p><\/div>\n
As part of the campaign of quiet terrorism against Palestinians, IDF soldiers assault sheep with stun grenades.<\/strong><\/h5>\nOne day in September, Walid Said Muhammad Id, a resident of Burin \u2013 a Palestinian village surrounded by Israeli settlements and outposts \u2013 went with his son to herd their flock of sheep. Their pasture is close to one of the nearby Israeli outposts, Har Bracha B.<\/h5>\nAbout an hour after the two Palestinian shepherds reached their pasture, they observed three Israeli soldiers coming down towards them from the outpost.<\/h5>\nYes, the outpost \u2013 illegal though it is \u2013 is nevertheless protected by the Israeli State. This is just a regular part of life and we ignore it; but it should be mentioned from time to time. Imagine a band of outlaws taking over someone else\u2019s land, and instead of removing the outlaws the authorities hasten to protect them \u2014 even though they openly state that the outlaws\u2019 presence there is illegal<\/em>!<\/h5>\nThe Israeli soldiers ordered Id to remove his sheep from the pasture. He informed them that he was renting this plot, and that it was located in Area B and not Area C; and so he refused to evacuate. The soldiers repeated their demand and Id repeated his refusal. The soldiers then spoke at length on their cellular phones. Finally, they turned back to the illegal outpost.<\/h5>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\nAnd then another force of <\/em>Israeli soldiers presently arrived on the scene. The two groups of soldiers passed each other, and the soldiers in the second group, without uttering a word, pulled out stun grenades<\/strong>. These are small explosive devices which create a flash and a loud noise, intended to cause panic and disperse demonstrations. The soldiers threw about ten stun grenades into the flock. The sheep, terrified, dispersed in all directions. Then the soldiers turned on their heels and left.<\/h5>\nId had committed no offense. Had he committed an offense, even the smidgen of an offense, the soldiers would have detained him. These soldiers are not, after all, accountable to anyone.<\/h5>\nThe soldiers had no argument to field against him. Not even some dubious security excuse. So they went straight to terrorism: they used violence against his flock and dispersed it. Oh, you think you may pasture your sheep here? You have the \u201cchutzpah\u201d to maintain your rights in the face of an armed Jewish male? We\u2019ll show you!<\/em><\/h5>\nIf there is a hell, and in his low moments this writer thinks perhaps there should be, there ought to be a special circle of hell for those who abuse the helpless: for those who abuse a baby, a child, a tied-up human being, or a frightened animal \u2014 for those who pick on any creature vulnerable and confused and unable to understand why it is being attacked.<\/strong><\/h5>\nHere is the 2013 model IDF: the strongest army in the Middle East \u2013 when it comes to terrorizing sheep, at any rate. What next?<\/h5>\nFiring tear gas at cows?<\/h5>\nDispersing goats with the \u201cSkunk,\u201d the IDF\u2019s patented stink-bomb, squirting smelly liquids in all directions?<\/h5>\nShooting rubber bullets at Palestinian shepherd dogs?<\/h5>\nA nightly raid on Palestinian chicken coops, stuffed full of terrified flightless birds?<\/h5>\nHolding Palestinian pets in administrative detention?<\/h5>\nThe goal of the soldiers, of course, was to terorrize Id: to enable the quiet terrorism of the settlers, whose point is to filch another acre, steal another goat, by scaring the Palestinians away and driving them to despair.<\/h5>\nUnlike the scenario to which they had long grown accustomed, the Israeli soldiers were now facing a man who stood up forcibly for his rights. So instead of dealing with him directly, which they didn\u2019t have the guts to do \u2014 since he was totally innocent \u2014 they resorted to attacking his animals: those equally innocent of any crime, the most helpless of the helpless.<\/h5>\nOf course, they could have done a lot more: they could have detained him and assaulted him though he was guiltless, knowing that the chances they would pay any sort of price for their brutal actions are absolutely nil.<\/h5>\nI guess they couldn\u2019t muster the courage.<\/h5>\n
