    look at the democracy in Israel. Seems no different from places like Iraq. Speak against the government and that is what you get. How can Israel call itself a democracy?!?!? what a joke. There is not even freedom of speech. That is the basic fundamental feature of a democracy.

    No, this video is turning up everywhere. But, its his own fault. The cop asked to see his passport, no matter where you are in the world, you dont refuse this unless you want to end up face down on the ground. Not to mention the fact that he resisted when they tried to pull him aside calmly. Its his own damn fault, and I think he got what he deserved for being so naive and stubborn.

    @michardav

    He broke the law when he refused to show him his ID, like I said the cop didn't get rough until the kid started being a smartass and resisting. Watch the tv show COPS in the US for 15 min and you'll see 10 times worse than this.

    He claims to represent world Jewry? I'm part of the world Jewry dumba** and the Argentinian Jewish community is part of it too, and guess what? We couldn't be more proud of Israel. And American Jews? Those are the most pro-Israel out of all of us! xD

    There's a good about all this!! He won't be going back to Israel :)

    they asked him for identification, he didn't provide with one.

    he resisted the cops when they asked him to go to the side with them

    then he resisted being arrested.

    he got what he deserved.

    one good thing i can say about the police in israel - they are not biased. they treat both pro-pals and pro-israelis the same.

    Israeli cops normally are brutal towards religious Zionist youth and coddle the leftists.

    This time the provocateur got just what he deserved.

    This is a good example of freedom of speech in Israel or I should say lack of . Does it need armed police and armed soldiers not to mention a mounted policeman to arrest a peacefull demonstrator.? Would he have been arrested if he had spoken out supporting Israel ? My opinion it was a heavy handed and almost brutal assault on a man using his right to speak out against Israels illegal occupation.

    @ PA boss, in other words you agree that Israel is not a place where you can freely express your opinion. And no, this would not have happened in Western Countries unless he was breaking the law. Was he breaking the law voicing his opinions? Or as a Jew, does he not have the right to go to Israel? I imagine this must be tough for you. On the one hand, you must keep up the façade that Israel has freedom of speech, on the other hand you iwsh to portray all Jews as being united under Zionism. I guess it's obvious which one you choose.

    Yes a Nazi alike treatment, and whats funny is that Jewish users say he deserves it.

    I wonder how they felt when the Nazis said that the Jews deserved to be treated like that?

    No one should be treated like that
