IDF soldiers abandon patrol, go dancing with 'Palestinians' in Hebron nightclub

IDF soldiers from the elite Givati brigade abandoned a patrol on Monday night, and went dancing in a 'Palestinian' night club in Hebron, one of the most dangerous places in Judea and Samaria.

Let's go to the videotape (yes, videotape).



The IDF is not pleased.

According to the report, the soldiers entered the club while on patrol on Monday, after hearing the song Gangnam Style by Psy coming from the building. 

The footage aired by Channel 2 purportedly shows a soldier in IDF uniform, fully armed, sitting on the shoulders of a Palestinian club-goer, even clasping hands with another man at the club.

Channel 2 said that the club was frequented by members of a Palestinian clan known for its pro-Hamas tendencies.

The army has suspended the soldiers from duty until the end of the investigation, the television station said, quoting the IDF as saying that it views the incident with utmost gravity. 

You might recall that three years ago, a group of IDF soldiers was videotaped dancing in the Hebron Kasbah (or Casbah).  But at least they were in an open area and were alone and had not abandoned their patrol. At the time, the IDF opened an investigation, but I don't recall it having a conclusion.

This is the result of a generation of Israeli kids being taught that the 'Palestinians' are going to live in peace with us. If the other side were being taught the same narrative, it would be a lot less harmful.
