This tweet is going viral this morning, celebrating the fearlessness of a Palestinian arguing with a heavily armed Israeli soldier.
Once we are imagining, can you imagine such a scene with a Palestinian arguing with a Palestinian Authority policeman? With a Hamas terrorist? With a Lebanese or Syrian soldier?
You won't find photos like that, because the Palestinian would be arrested or beaten or killed.
But there are lots and lots of photos of Palestinians unafraid to get in the faces of Israeli soldiers and police.
The reason that you see so many photos of "brave" Palestinians confronting Israeli soldiers and police is because they know the soldiers will not touch them as long as they don't get violent. They know that Israeli security professionals are not going to hurt them.
They would be equally brave to confront a soda bottle.
These photos prove what the people posting them deny: that the Israeli security forces are professionals, who have no desire to hurt anyone. They prove that soldiers and police who take abuse every day, who are falsely accused of crimes every day, who are literally dared every day to respond with force, will adhere to their laws and regulations. They prove that the Palestinians tell one thing to Western media about Israeli forces abusing them for no reason but they know the truth - if Israeli forces were 10% as violent as they say, they wouldn't be around to confront the forces tomorrow.
These photos prove that, unlike the propaganda spread by Israel haters, the IDF really is the most moral army in the world.
UPDATE: You can see video of how this photo was taken here.
