RE: Palestine Today
※→ P F Tinmore, et al,
"Battery against a police officer involves causing injury to a law enforcement officer (or, in some states, attempting to or threatening to cause injury). It is treated as a very serious crime. Many states have specific and harsh penalties that apply to battery against a police officer."
Meet Ahed Tamimi, 17-Year-Old West Bank Activist Jailed 8 Months for Slapping Israeli Soldier
(COMMENT)
It was not a "soldier." It was an Israeli
Border Police Officer ("
MAGAV").
The "
MAGAV"
[a form of Gendarme (sometimes the ranks are augmented by members of the IDF)] have duties in
Area C of the
West Bank, and in such territory where Israeli civilian control has been established.
Arab Palestinian arguments that claim that "AhedTamimi" had the right to assault the Police Officer, is a clear acknowledgment that the Arab Palestinian are above the law and bare no consequences for their criminal actions. Not only do they have no understanding for the Rule of Law, but - forgot what law and order are.
Most Respectfully,
