Instead of "a Palestinian detainee", we better can speak of an Arab(ian) detainee, from now on. With this investigation Israel proves that it has one of the most human systems on Earth, a good example for humankind.

The IDF of today will not be satisfied until it breaks the fighting spirit of its soldiers and loses the next war.

Beating detainees is wrong and should NOT be condoned ,it is not an appropriate way to behave and is unprofessional,but it is ,sadly, understandable due to the constant tensions and hatreds in the region. It is an ugly act to beat detainees but soldiers are trained to be violent,so there is a contradiction. Having said that ,I do not condone such violence .

for not (at least) spitting in direction of every passing Arab.
Just remember what we endure from these ghouls.
So one, or two or TEN citizens take it out on them, big deal!
Not a way to behave, surely.
I know my kids won't do it, but hey: we're a bunch of mixed fruits, right?
