Israeli soldier loses it at Unicef while on vacation

Perfect example of the irrational hatred people have had instilled in them by their governments/parents/education. To be clear, this guy saw a group of UNICEF workers on the street trying to help people, and thought "no, they're helping the people I've been taught to hate, so I will attack and threaten them with violence/death for doing so."
Absolute muppet. Should be rounded up and sent back to his shithole country.
- People like this should be banned from international travel. They’re not garnering any sympathy for Israel acting like this.
  
  It's not like Israel deserves sympathy.

Brainwashing works huh?
- You are not giving that monster enough credit. The psychotic hatred is all him. No brainwashing required.
  
  Yeah im sure his hatred is his own, but the specific targeting of UN staff is not his own idea. Its an implanted idea that utilizes his existing hatred and gives it a target in order to quell potential internal resistance in the Israeli population.
  
  Yeah you're right, these people are just born monsters, as a baby he was probably already biting the other babies when he got the chance. In fact, shouldn't even consider these people human right?
  Such a dumb take.

Dudes got some serious nazi vibes. I think he needs to look in the mirror
- They really have become the third reich

What kind of fucked up country is this were the police didn't immediatly came to this altercation and detained the guy.
I mean, he's not only being violent, he's even making death threats.
- We saw 37 seconds, I don’t believe any country has teleporting police; yet.
  
  You haven't been to Night City yet, eh?
  
  America: think of how much more efficiently we could kill black people over bullshit
  
  Well, the video starts already well into the altercation and that's a high-end main shopping street with all the most expensive shops and the kind of place where there is usually police around, but yeah it's a a bit of of 50\50 thing whether even in a place like London or Paris a copper would pop-up in time for the video.
  Also it depends on how likely people are to call the police in such a situation (if the guy did this in, for example Scandinavia, the police would likey end up involved).
- Perhaps a place where the people are as dangerous as the cops?

You’d think he’d be too busy to complain what with all the children he hasn’t murdered yet.

He looks so tough in his skinny jeans, his florescent orange sneakers, and his dainty little shopping bag. Truly a terror amongst men.
- The title refers to him as a soldier, but all I see is a bitch carrying a polka-dot bag being angry that people make their own decisions.
  
  He's certainly not built like a soldier. Soldiers have legs like baseball players, because they're carrying heavy shit over long distances all the time.

Headbutt? I’d press charges.

You know the nice part of being a very traditionally masculine person is being able to promote basic human rights without these people scaring me. Try me bro, weight classes exist for a reason.
- You don't need to be the winner of violent conflict to be valid.
  
  Yeah but it is nice to be able to defend yourself against violent people. Also as the other reply said i do appeal to certain kinds of people and maybe they wouldnt listen to a trans person about trans rights but will listen to me.
  
  Yes, but I think the point is that strong man types do appeal to a certain demographic that they are trying to influence, not that it appeals or should appeal to themselves or the general population
- I'm reminded of a clip that I've seen that originates on Tik Tok about a guy who says something similar to what you're saying here, including a clip where the guy went and shouted at a neo-nazi to basically say "you're not welcome here, fuck off".
  I found it interesting because he explained that this isn't usually something he would do because he's very much a voice against toxic masculinity and this means that generally he doesn't want or need to take the role of the angry, scary man. In this instance though, of the many members of his community who were uncomfortable with a neo-Nazi spewing hate, this guy was best situated to challenge this. I found it especially interesting because there's a particular kind of aggressiveness to it — like, obviously going up to someone and shouting at them is aggressive, but it was clear that this guy wasn't going for a fight

This guy knows how to rally!
"say Pastine one more time"
Palestine!
"say Palestine one more time!"
PALESTINE!
But in all seriousness, this nazi needs to go to jail.

I am not tough and I am not a fighter but I would have rocked that guys shit if he came at me like that.
You can usually tell people are not really trying to escalate otherwise he wouldn’t have feigned the head butts and would have just nutted the people.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 from unstable soldiers like this.
- As far as I understand, a successful fight is mainly being to the first one to commit to it. I might stand up to this guy but in a fight lose miserably because I’m unlikely to hit first nor to follow up sufficiently nor would I even have a plan for inflicting enough violence. As a soldier I’m sure he has all of the above
  
  I was a bouncer for 10 years. This is pretty much correct but its also about intensity, if someone starts off with anything lower than 11 out off 10 thats the opening.
  Street fights arent boxing matches, theres no rules. You swing at me in public I assume you are intending to kill me and act accordingly until you back off or cant hurt me anymore.
- Dont mess with Zohan

So a baby killer loses his head on seeing people who save babies.

Sure is leaving his back exposed to a lot of people..

David Attenborough voice:
here we se the good guy, simply defending his homeland

WE DONT KNOW 100% FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED HERE. Any video like this lacks context.
DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE. This is how distrust for serious, real journalism is formed! It’s why there are juries, it’s why evidence is questioned.
I am zero fan of IDF, war, or killing children. But we do NOT 100% know that that is related to this.
- This is a video... Unless you're suggesting that it's a deep fake, we absolutely know what happened here... What we don't know is what led up to this guy hulking out about Palestine... But it really doesn't matter. There is no justification for it. This is not normal or okay behavior under any circumstances. This guy is mentally ill and needs serious psychiatric help.
- Also: comment all you want, I don’t have the source video or other corroborating videos or anything else at the time I write this comment. I have one video, I don’t see identification on anyone, and I have an internet stranger account claiming this is an IDF soldier and a Unicef worker. The burden of proof isn’t on me!
  
  guy is literally shouting "say Palestine again!" the whole time.
  you can turn your brain off if you want. Somehow I don't think you'd do the same if this was a Muslim attacking an Israeli organization
  
  Thank you for pointing this out!
- Well as the downvotes you just got show, Lemmy is just another Reddit clone. No place for rational thought. You either jump on the bandwagon or be railroaded out of town.
  
  Rational thought
  Do you assume that these UNICEF workers physically assaulted this guy?
  If not then do you assume that even if they said the most vile words in existence that that warrants a physical attack like this?
  Funny you should say rational thought but want us all to exercise a level of conjecture as to what happened before.
  
  Yes, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for assaulting United Nations Children's Fund workers in the streets. I'm sure despite not having any visible injuries, not being restrained, and seemingly being well enough coordinated to rule out a seizure, that he was well within his right to not only be screaming, but to headbutt a non aggressive individual.
  
  Do you think
  "people being able to quantitatively disagree with you"
  Is the equivalent of
  "you're getting excommunicated and exiled for your vile thoughts"?
  You see, these type of false equivalencies are why people think you're a fucking tool.
  Enjoy your L.
  
  Not really, it only shows that lemmy has idiots like you two just like reddit
  
  Sometimes it just feels sooooo good to downvote someone, you know?

Sure, crazy video, but you don't know whether his girlfriend wasn't raped and killed by Hamas on October 7th last year. Don't just judge people from bad times they're having, as hard as that may seem.
- Wtf does an innocent unicef worker have to do with hamas you crackhead?
  
  You don't know the UNICEF worker and you don't know the soldier. You just saw a few seconds of video and know NOTHING about any of those people.
  Everybody here is just seeing what they want to see. What I'm saying is, stop the hatred and the shaming and the online rage.
- So hypothetical raped & killed girlfriend by Hamas = has a right to shout at a volunteers for a UN charity organisation stopping kids from dieing of starvation and disease?
  Be careful you don't break your spine bending over that far backwards to excuse his behaviour.
  
  It's not about excusing, but explaining. None of you know what any of those people did or who they are. This is just an online pillory.
- And you don't know that she was, so don't fabricate narratives to justify other people's shitty behavior.
  
  Yeah, but many were. Just like 60k Palestinians were killed. So many people are traumatized, what I am saying is exactly what you are: stop fabricating narratives from a few seconds of someone's bad day. You know nothing.
- Nah, Imma judge him. Zionist mind virus got him
- The rape narrative has been massively overblown with little evidence backing it up besides racial bias against brown men. Did some women get sexualy assaulted, probably, was it widespread and systemic like the media is pushing, probably not. This isn't to excuse the disgusting behavior of hamas on October 7th, just saying it's more likely this guy sexualy assaulted Palestinians in an Israeli jail then his girlfriend being assaulted.
  Just cause a member of a group did something bad to you doesn't give you the right to abuse that group back. If that guy's girlfriend was sexualy assaulted by a black person that doesn't give him the right to yell slurs and push around black people on the street. This guy wasn't yelling about hamas he was yelling at the idea of Palestine, that's just straight up racism.
- sure you also dont know whether the girlfriends/wives/children of the Hamas members weren't shredded to pieces by Israeli bombs before they joined Hamas
- I'm definitely judging a person that tries to trip and headbutt strangers on the street. That person is not okay to be in public.
  Also, everyone let's just ignore this genocide sympathizer. It's probably a bot or a paid troll
- Your comment has 50% more downvotes than my post has upvotes. In some way that is impressive.
  
  A crazy fucking comment, right? Eh. I tried to make a point about not judging people before you know their history, but did so very badly, I guess. Should I delete the comment? What do you think?
- Nah, nothing justifies just freaking out on random volunteer workers in public and assaulting them.
  
  When we talk about Palestinian violence we (rightly) put it in context of the oppression they suffered. You can't expect an oppressed people to react kindly and patiently to their oppressors. But this guy apparently does not deserve this circumspect approach. We know nothing about him other than he is claimed to be an Israeli soldier but he might have any number of mental illnesses, PTSD, what have you. But we're perfectly happy to label him a monster, no questions asked.
  I'm not trying to justify any violent behavior obviously, but we sure do love putting the excesses of "our" side in broader context, and highlighting perceived injustices of "theirs" without context.
  
  This feels like a very lazy emotional response.
  You're saying that under no conditions whatsoever you would start shouting at people in public? That you would get violent to defend something that was important to you? Please don't be an idiot.
- Look, I get it. I read through this thread, and I get the point you're making, absolutely.
  Always, always remember that we're all human and prone to horrible errors of judgement. We don't know the dude, we don't know his story that led up to this.
  What you seem to be missing is that a past trauma is no more or less likely than a neutral or positive past. None of those excuse assault and battery. You can absolutely judge a person based on their actions. We do it all the time in jury trials. Him having had some kind of suffering related to Palestine or Hamas wouldn't mean he wasn't guilty of assault and battery, though it might mitigate things for sentencing.
  Would those UNICEF workers now be justified in going somewhere, screaming at some Israeli bank teller and head butting them? No. And I think you know that.
  I applaud your compassion. We should always consider such things in forming opinions. We also do not have to forego judgement because of that compassion.
  
  Is it really good hearted compassion or is it mental gymnastics trying to blame Hamas for this guy being a dickhead?
  Using "maybe Hamas raped someone close to him" isn't exactly "turn the other cheek" in the context of being kind to bullies
- You literally should judge people from their bad times. That’s how you get the measure of a person, in how they act in the worst of times.
  Also, if Hamas raped his partner does that mean you can just go and attack people working for unicef? WTF!!
- Why can't you say the same thing about Palestinians?
- Here he is, guys. Lol. What the fuck does a UNICEF worker have to do with Hamas? How is this normal behavior anywhere? That dude should be arrested. I'm guessing he's more of the type of guy that spends bad times around. It may be the I'll fuck you in the ass or the headbutt. Idk.
  
  Here he is, guys. Lol.
  Not the first time he's been a tad one-sided on the issue

- If my girlfriend was raped and killed by hamas I still don't think I'd support a genocide against the people who didn't do it.
- Dude said he will fuck the UNICEF worker in the ass
