Haaretz added that the Palestinian man was kneeling and repeating sentences he was ordered to say by the soldiers, members of the Golani infantry brigades. “The Golani soldiers will bring you a log, and stick it up your ass”, one of the sentences the Palestinian man was ordered to repeat, Haaretz reported. “Do you want candy? The man repeats “Candy, Candy”. Say Moomin house – (man) moomin house, (soldiers laughing) say dad went to work (man says) work – (soldiers) no, Dad Went To Work (he repeats after them in fear) and will bring you (then he repeats after them) a present, (and then another soldier says) “give him a round of applause”, then the first soldier continues and the bound man repeats after him “And Golani, will bring you a log – up the ass” (then soldiers started to laugh). After the case made it to the media, the Israeli army had to issue a statement condemning the abuse. The army said that it was unaware of the incident until channel 10 gave it the clip. A spokesperson of the Israeli army said that “the army condemns this behavior”, and added that “such an act goes against the Israeli army and its values”. He claimed that the army initiated an investigation into the incident “and will respond appropriately”. Although the Israeli army claims that such incidents are isolated, the facts on the ground state otherwise. In July a video shot a Palestinian girl, 14, from a window in her home in the Ni'lin village, near Ramallah, showed soldiers shooting a bound and blindfolded Palestinian youth. The video was released by the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B'Tselem). Although captured on film, the soldier who shot the bound youth was released by a direct order of the Israeli army district attorney who said that “the soldiers who shot the youth will be freed, but the officer who gave the order will be questioned”.
