"IDF soldiers who arrived at the Maon Farm settlement outpost near the West Bank city of Hebron exposed their rear ends to Palestinians in an attempt to make them evacuate nearby grazing fields, Palestinian sources and foreign peace activists claimed Sunday.

Ynet has received exclusive footage of the incident, which took place on January 11.

Sean, the foreign peace activist who filmed the soldiers, said activists and foreign volunteers from a Christian organization were escorting Palestinians in the south Mount Hebron area to protect them from local Jewish settlers when the soldiers arrived.

"It was around noon; we were accompanying shepherds from the village of Tuba to a nearby Wadi, because the settlers regularly hassle them and throw stones in our direction," he recounted.

"The settlers demanded that the shepherds evacuate the area, and IDF soldiers who arrived at the scene also attempted to clear the Palestinian shepherds from their grazing fields; then, in the middle of the argument and for no apparent reason, the soldiers pulled down their pants and exposed their rear ends to us."

3. To say that this is Israel's Abu Gariib

is inaccurate, IDF exposed themselves, they did not force the shepherds to expose themselves.

Still in the sometimes actions speak louder than words area, it shows the IDF attitude towards the Palestinians in this situation at the very least-good thing they (IDF) don't wear kilts, could have been worse.
