\r\n\tHaaretz reported:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tWhy did his commanders send a soldier with a record of violence to bully Palestinians in al-Khalil ('Hebron)? The Israeli army's spokesperson’s unit chose to respond to Haaretz’s question with “no comment." <\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tPerhaps that’s because the right answer is: Violence and bullying are what the Israel forces’ presence in al-Khalil and the West Bank is really all about.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tAnd another right answer: The army's first mission in the West Bank is to ensure the continuation of settlement expansion, which means expelling the Palestinians from their land.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe violence of the army and the settlers serves this mission.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe proof? The hundreds of buildings in al-Khalil’s Old City that have been emptied of their owners and tenants.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tThe violent and bullying behavior of David Adamov — the soldier who was videotaped aiming his rifle at a Palestinian teen, setting off a storm in the media, especially the social media — was not exceptional.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\r\n\tWhat was exceptional was that the Israeli public initially believed he was sent to military prison because of his violence toward Palestinians.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
