A reasonable Israeli observer who looks at the picture of Hamas police evacuating the owner of a kiosk on the beach in Gaza with the help of a baton will say that it is a cruel and violent police force, which is suitable for the murderous rule of the reputable movement, and that would be completely true. After all, this is a movement whose murder of civilians with missiles, knives and explosives is the first section of its manifesto of values. But another observation, that is, a comparison between the violence reflected in this picture, and the violence of the Israel Police in many cases, some of which even reached the Department of Police Investigation, and without comparing the regimes that govern both police, does not prove that the Israel Police did not show acts of violence like the despicable instance in this picture. for example, an ultra-Orthodox demonstration in Jerusalem, in which the writer of these lines photographed it a few years ago, suddenly a heavy horse, under the guidance of his rider galloping into a protesting crowd, stepped into the shoulder of the said photographer, and threw him a few feet forward. A minor case that did not reach DIP at all, and if it were not for the picture from Gaza above, it would not have reached the newspaper either. another five inches to the right, and the camera owner has since had difficulty with simple tasks. and we have not yet mentioned the violence of the Israel Police in many demonstrations, or in response to the criticism that civilians inflict on police officers on the street, and in many cases quite rightly so.
Therefore, there is no big difference between this picture that comes from Gaza, and pictures that came and are coming from Jerusalem and around Israel. Although there is of course an abysmal difference between the two regimes, in Gaza, and in Israel.
