The State Prosecutor's Office argued that the case had no merits, since no harm was caused to the plaintiff, adding that the suit was a part of an ongoing trend, facilitated by the Yesha human rights group, to file charges against police officers. The court denied the argument.

if these settlers were manhandled and are up for compansation for the police doing their orders, then every palestinian at every checkpoint has the right to ask for compensation for our troops treating them badly. Please stop complaining you were basically carried out of your homes with loving arms. We should just have bulldozed their homes like we do to the palis see if they complain then. Plus the settlers have no right to complain they were given the land for almost nothing and compensated up to half a million dollars for it when they came to leave. I wish someone would come to me in jerusalem and tell me to relocate out of my crappy apartment for half a mill. Please don't open useless doors, we are under scrutiny as it is.

during that whole ordeal: bullets rubber or not. but of course, the palestinians get them on their protests. oh, and certainly no compensation.

members of the mafia, big drug dealers, pedophiles, ect. They only do this against Jews in the territories. Now they will not have their kadima/labor gang to give them backing for pogroms against Jews. The new government must investigate all these crimes of police brutality and persecute those that perpetrated them and those that ordered them to do it.

The government gave the orders to brutalize the non-violent Jewish protestors, and according to Meretz/Labor/Kadima "an order is an order". What the article does not mention is what happens in the cases when the police successfully steal the memory cards so there is no evidence.
