Israeli special forces are incapable of the same, with 5-10 years of training and experience? I don't buy that.

You kidding? British police will beat an old guy to death just for standing near the parade...

Well the British aren't having to blockade foreign assisstance to a terrorist/paramilitary/resistance/whatever movement on thein own soil. When that was happening, and the stakes were higher, they killed 14 on Bloody Sunday...

Don't mess with the bobbies, we might let people think they are these quaint old people that occasionaly shout "oi oi" and chase people with their batons... they are hardcore.

"The people in that convoy got exactly what they wanted. They deliberately provoked Israel into acting stupidly." Ehm? Israel's forces are supposed to show some professionalism; not be a gun-ho militia that likes to shoot people to assert their presence, just because this the Wild, Wild Mid East you know. Or in other words: Israel is supposed to display military force proportionate to the threat (which it spectacularly failed to do), and Israel is supposed to abide by international law (as it is, they committed an act of piracy: where are the Russians when you need 'em?).

So provocation is not an argument; and I don't think it can be used to excuse blatant ~~stupidity~~ brutality on Israel's part. Of any kind. Comparisons to police officers from the police brutality thread only serves to underline that this behaviour is exactly the same and every bit as outrageous for it.
