Shirley Temper Is Real And Really Dangerous

ahed tamimi fb postJust my quick note on the Shirley Temper story: the soldier is real. How he came to separate form his unit and why it took them so long to get support back to him are as yet unknown. That shouldn’t have happened. 
 
He also wasn’t equipped for arrests and crowd control: where are his flexi-ties; he’s carrying a completely unsuitable and unwieldy weapon for example. Many have said using the general army for these highly instigated and controlled (by the other side) “riots” is wrong and we need the equivalent of an elite crowd control unit. I agree.

The boy with the allegedly broken arm is Shirley’s brother and the father claims his arm was broken (of course) by the IDF the day before. But of course the kid was still encouraged to go out the next day and throw rocks at the IDF. This is the core of the Palestinian child abuse problem.

So the incident is a combination of reality and Pallywood with the requisite number of NGO foreigners on hand to film and document everything for the world. Clearly everybody there knows the soldier will never use his gun unless they pull out a weapon. So they use little girls and the tears of women.

Avigdor Liberman had this to say:

Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman responded to the video by demanding an urgent meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

Liberman called on committee chair MK Tzahi Hanegbi (Likud) to convene a meeting as early as Sunday to discuss the IDF’s rules of engagement in the Nabi Salah area.

“We are talking about an incident which severely harms the deterrent capacity of the IDF,” Liberman said. “The pictures – which show an IDF soldier being hit by Palestinian women and children, and in the end giving up on (arresting) the rock-thrower who started the whole incident – broadcasts weakness and helplessness on the part of the IDF and Israel.”

“This is the end result of the feeble and stuttering conduct of the prime minister and defense minister, who also did not prevent the interrogation of the Binyamin Regional Commander Colonel Yisrael Shomer, and Lt. Colonel Neria Yeshurun,” he added, referring to two military commanders targeted by leftist NGOs who many feel were abandoned by the government.

    1. It doesn’t look like he is in THAT photo. (I would bet he WAS throwing stones, but that photo isn’t the evidence.)

          1. Oh, I see. It does look like he’s holding a stone or some object, but it’s awkward enough that it could be photoshopped.

            1. Stone or no stone, his body stance is clearly that of someone trying to hurl an object. The person on his right looks like he just finished throwing something. Neither of them show the posture of someone who is just walking along the road.

      1. The picture looks photo shopped. The Sun is in the sky to the right of the people in the photo. You can tell by the shadows. The shadows will be long if it were low in the sky and short if it is higher. The kid to the right of the one in the cast has his hand in a fist, and you can clearly see that from the shadow it forms.

        The kid with the cast has a shadow that does not match his hand. If his hand is a fist, it would make a ball on the shadow like the other kid’s hand. Instead it makes a shadow like someone who has fingers extended, and the knife edge of the hand pointing to the sun. but if you look at his broken arm hand you see how much further his fingers extend beyond his thumb, in a partly extended position. You don’t see those fingers extended in the throwing hand.

        It looks like they photo shopped out some object in his hand, and the resulting the ball his shadow cast on the ground.

      2. He’s right there, at the back of the group. To the right and behind the guy with the yellow vest. Same clothes, same shoes, same cast, same scarf on his cast. In the original pictures with the soldier, he had his pants rolled up, just like they are here? Why wouldn’t that be him? Or did you mean he wasn’t throwing a stone in this picture? Might he have a sling shot?

        1. I meant he wasn’t throwing a stone in that picture.

          There’s a chance he had a sling shot (I looked at 0:03 through 0:05, pausing as fast as I could to try to see each frame, and he definitely makes a throwing motion, but I don’t know if he actually threw anything).

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTzi9qIdsfs

    The author of the video clearly states his pro-“Pal” sympathies, but with that points out that every photo with this girl is staged. He calls himself a “hoaxbuster” without taking sides.

    At the end he says that he hopes that the Palestinian people get what they truly deserve. AMEN!!!!!

    Let’s take bets on how long before our “leaders” throws yet another Israeli soldier under the bus?

  2. all border patrols need to be outfitted with dash and body cams

    there should never be a single soldier away from his unit

    everyone in the vid seen assaulting the soldier should be rounded up and charged with assault…that includes shirley

  3. It wouldn’t work to send special units – these “riots” come to the soldiers, not the other way around. They would pop up wherever the soldiers are, to antagonise them. The soldiers need better training and policy. Also, policy on the endless Pallywood production. The multiple photographers standing around should be charged as complicit in obstructing the activities of the army, and arrested. The charge for rock throwing should be attempted murder.

    1. I think he was trained to an extent which is why he wasn’t aggressive with the kids and just stayed there until he was rescued. Also arresting “journalists” never goes well. Look how Egypt has been attacked in the media for arresting those MB journalists.

      1. Fine. Ban them. Fine them. Move them out. The production is played out for their benefit. There should be zero tolerance for assault with rocks and any activity that exacerbates this crime.

  4. The unit breaks up into small groups. I’m not sure if the soldier was separated. In one of the photos, there is one of the soldiers just standing, right behind them, looking on and not doing anything. Maybe they just deal with these kids on a daily basis and once in a while actually decide to remind them that it’s dangerous and that kids can get arrested, that is, play into the Pallywood scene. Seems that it got out of hand this time.
