Israel/Palestine Thread

Its crystal clear the cops are trying to keep the arrivals gate clear for the other passengers arriving at the airport who just want to go about their own business.

Different angle below you can see the cop on the right has clearly asked them to move, and he makes room for a passenger coming through to exit.

One lad, with a beard, on the right takes umbrage with a cop standing behind him and gives him a little shoulder nudge. Then he grabs another cop from behind which sparked the incident.

You aren't seeing it because you don't want to see it. But the video is fairly clear on what happened. You don't need an official report.

So you will use a media report which suits your agenda which is not an official report. And it's also false. The small guy with the beard assaulted two police officers which was conveniently omitted. Touch Hypocrital there.

The little man with the beard nudged one cop on the back for allowing a passenger with his child in a buggy to come through (other paseengers later followed) and then tried to grab another cop from behind for trying to maintain a clear arrivals area. That was conveniently left out of the report you quoted.

Is behaving in a civilised manner beyond these virtue signalling crusty types??

What did he expect the other cops to do when he grabbed one around the neck/shoulder from behind?

Those relatives/supporters have no business entering the arrivals area of an airport. That area is clearly marked out for a reason. They were rightfully removed from the area.

The 6 in grey have no right to block the arrivals gate. Virtue signalling idiots with a sense of entitlement looking for their moment in the sun. Hope they enjoyed the beatings they got.

just for my own information, as I have only read about it in the Telegraph and the Journal, would you be so kind to show the information and footage that you have perused, showing the individuals in the way that you describe? Thanks

I watched the video and why did the police start by pushing the flotilla individual? Surely, if you want to move somebody to permit the passage of the other individuals on the flight, you don’t start by body-slamming the flotilla activist? It would seem almost a provocation? And why such a violent and disproportionate reaction to these individuals? There was nothing threatening about them.

I just watched the video that you pointed out to me. Rather than us getting into a case of he says, she says, people reading this can look at the video that you referred to from 0.42 and make up their own mind if they think that the police used proportionate tactics to usher the activists aside.

What about the behaviour of the short guy with the beard? Is that justified?

Shoving one cop for allowing a man with his child in a buggy through the arrivals gate .

Grabbing another from behind because the cops are trying to keep the arrivals area clear.

A real stand up citizen.

The "activists" got what they deserved.

can you please point out the time-stamp on the video where that incident happened please, so I can form my own judgement? And just to clarify, this his reaction come before or after he was forcefully pushed aside with the torso of the police man?

Literal definition of whataboutery.

Can you explain what actions you have taken to protest this that you seem to care so much about?

If you’ve done nothing, why not? Or are you just using this in an attempt at a cheap shot against all Palestinians?

Seeing as we’re now in the appropriate thread, and you refused to answer on the other one, do you condemn the genocide perpetuated on the Palestinian people by the IDF?

The arrivals gate behind the 6 people in grey opens as a passenger attempts to leave the airport

The cops on the right behind the bearded guy in grey waves the passenger through

As he does that, the bearded guy shoves the cop from behind.

Other cops arrive and are pointing to the left and it looks like they have asked them to move aside so other passengers can come through.

.....

The bearded guy then squares upto cops as two people in the centre of the pic, guy in orange, woman in black encroach into the arrivals area and the cop on the left comes across to usher them away from the arrivals area as there is other passengers trying to come through as can be clearly seen in the background.

...

This is from another video on twitter, the bearded guy in grey attempts to grab the cop who ushered away the two people from the pics above, from behind. So the cops intervened

Its all there. On video. Crystal clear. The one who started the physical altercation was the little bearded guy in grey who clearly has a sense of entitlement about him.

The video is there for all to see.

Why would i retract it?

You reap what you sow IMO.

Video evidence is a lot more conclusive then "media reports"

And if you want to discuss official reports, the official report from Israel is there is no genocide in Gaza/Palestine.

Because a large group had turned up because of those arriving.

Also the rugby was on Friday and Saturday so there was a higher then normal volume of passengers

And the Oscar for the best female lead actor goes to....

Hard to take these people serious at all

look up the principles of ATLS. When somebody has sustained physical trauma, you have to immobilise their neck until you make sure that it is not damaged. If the doctors did not immobilise and the patient had a broken neck, then the pt would end up paralysed. Take a walk through any A&E and you will see that neck collar. It doesn’t mean that everybody with it has a broken neck. It means that they have not yet excluded a broken neck. But if you know better than expert consensus and decades of medical practice, feel free to have a go

Very rare that you see large numbers of police at any arrivals terminal terminal area in Europe, especially as airports have their own airport police all year round. Seemed almost like they sent 30 police officers to the arrivals hall with the intention of causing trouble, rather than preventing it - there to escalate things rather than de-escalate.
