Awake Goy According to the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights, Ansar ‘Aasi, 25, was minding his own business at the office of a cleaning products company in al-Bireh, as clashes continued to explode nearby between the IDF and Palestinian youths.
As ‘Aasi stood at the entrance to the storage room, he caught the attention of Israeli soldiers, who must have mistaken him for one of the Palestinians from the chaos.

This immediately led to him being tackled and violently arrested, all caught on the security camera overhead. As if this wasn’t enough, ‘Aasi hardly protested. While already on the ground trying to plead with his attackers, ‘Aasi was kicked and prodded by the Israelis with assault rifles.
The young man was injured and had to be taken to a hospital as a result of the beating. Worse still, his case could not be heard for days and the accusers would not examine the video evidence. Held in detention for two whole days, ‘Aasi was interrogated and told repeatedly he was among those throwing rocks at the security forces – something he repeatedly denied.
It was only after the two days that a military court hearing resulted in the police examining the footage from the storage room. But even after that, according to the Israeli human rights body, the Palestinian was held for two more days.
These events come amid an atmosphere of heightened awareness and distrust between the two populations, as violence escalates and fears of another Intifada mount.
