Watch: Arab protester urges IDF soldiers to shoot his young son
July 30, 2016For nearly a decade, residents of the villages of Nilin and Bilin, located near the haredi town of Modiin Illit, have held fiery, often violent demonstrations against the construction of the security fence every Friday.
The demonstrations, which often include stone-throwings, draw anarchists and opponents of the Jewish state from around the world.
While provocations against soldiers and Border Police are common, this Friday, one Arab participant attempted to use his son in the propaganda war against Israel, in a disturbing form of child exploitation.
A recording of the incident shows the man carrying his young son towards several Border Police officers, setting him down, and shoving him off in the officers’ direction while waving a PLO flag.
The man then yells at the soldiers to shoot his son, hoping to create a news item and fire up anti-Israel sentiment.
The officers, however, do not take the bait. They instead attempt to shake the boy’s hand and speak with him, though the father, intent on exploiting his son and turning him into the latest “martyr” screams at him to attack the soldiers with stones.
The child eventually attempted to comply with his father’s demands, but poised little threat as the soldiers watched him harmlessly toss stones aimlessly.
