Default Aljazeera man beaten by Israeli troops

A cameraman working for Aljazeera has been beaten and briefly arrested by Israeli soldiers while filming a protest in the West Bank.



Nabil al-Mazzawi was detained along with three other foreign protestors while filiming a demonstration against Israel's construction of the separation barrier.


He was later released, Aljazeera management confirmed.


Aljazeera's editor-in-chief Ahmad Sheikh said al-Mazzawi was filming one of the Israeli occupation soldiers who was beating activists during the protest. Another soldier then beat the cameraman before arrresting him, he said.


The incident took place in the village of Beilin, near the town of Ram Allah, at a weekly protest against Israel's controversial barrier.


Aljazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Aqleh said al-Mazzawi was beaten and detained, along with his camera and the film which he was taking at the time of the incident.


Commenting on the incident, an Israeli police spokesman said an Aljazeera cameraman had been arrested during the protest after first assaulting a border policeman.


The spokesman told AFP he did not know whether al-Mazzawi was beaten, but if so, it was within his rights to file a complaint.

BILIN, West Bank (AP) - A cameraman from Al-Jazeera television was briefly detained Friday after scuffling with Israeli police during a demonstration against Israel's West Bank separation barrier, the satellite channel and Israeli police said.

Nabil Mazzawi was arrested along with four protesters who chained themselves to a construction site, said Shireen Abu Aqleh, an Al-Jazeera correspondent. She said Mazzawi was filming an Israeli border guard beating one of the demonstrators when he was arrested, and said Mazzawi was beaten during the incident.

Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld, confirming the five arrests, said the cameraman had attacked a border guard.

Footage broadcast on Al-Jazeera showed Mazzawi, an Arab citizen of Israel, jostling with several border guards as they dragged him away.

Mazzawi told The Associated Press late Friday that he was released without being charged after showing police video of the incident. Police said the demonstrators remained in custody for questioning.

Yeah, where does beating protestors fit on the roadmap of peace?

I understand subduing and arresting them, but beating?

does an incident of essentially police brutality make Israel insincere about peace?

Is critising a government illegal now?

no, shall we discuss the PA's inability to stop rocket attacks from hamas as a sign for peace?

This is certainly an issue that seems to inflame people a lot. Both sides are at fault and have been for a long time. However, I feel that, as Jamaesi says, the modern media is biased towards Israel and against Palestine so it may become necessary to counteract this by keeping people informed on similar abuses by the Israeli government. This shouldn't be viewed as choosing sides but as providing a balanced view, just the side which isn't as reported as often.

respectfully Fluffy, i have to disagree. I am not going to say that the media is biased against Israel i think all media is biased toward profit and sensationalism. but if there were not people out there who felt that the media was biased against Israel web sites like honestreporting.com would not exist.
believe me when i say there is a large group of jews and non-jews alike who support israel and feel the media is biased against Israel.
so to say that this is "providing a balanced view" is not entirely accurate.

Calls and popular support for ideals such as bringing democracy to the Middle East along with terrorist attacks by Muslim extremists will surely inevitably bias the media against the Arab countries which will then produce support for the state that has always been viewed as an enemy by these countries ie Israel.

That has been the way I view it anyway and I fully admit that I could very well be wrong. However, I feel that the people who highlight the mistakes of Israel do so more because they share the feeling I have outlined above rather than because of any anti-Jewish or even pro-Palestinian feelings. I get the general feeling that the latter is rather consistently assumed of such people and view such a potential misunderstanding as dangerous.
