Images of an Israeli soldier putting a Palestinian boy in a choke hold went viral over the weekend.

The images depict an Israeli soldier forcefully attempting to arrest a young Palestinian boy. The soldier was arresting the boy after the boy was involved in a protest where in he allegedly threw rocks. The protest the young boy allegedly threw rocks during was over the settlement construction in the village of Nabi Saleh.

As the soldier was attempting to arrest the young boy, the family of the boy was attempting to defend him. In the image below we see an obviously distraught family attempting to defend their family member from assault.

The video shown below is of the family trying to get the soldier off of the boy.

 

The Israeli government maintains that these actions were justified. However what is justified to the Israeli government often poses moral questions for those viewing from a point of view that doesn’t have a clear bias.

Furthermore the conditions which these protesters are protesting should not be a reality for anyone. Thus, we can clearly see that the Israeli government is at fault for these heinous actions against citizens they continue to thrust into worse and worse conditions. The Israeli government is so anti-peace that the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Israel is not bound by the Iran deal America is currently negotiating.
