My Comment
The issue called my attention because this is usual behavior of the israeli jews, as experienced by all Palestinians. It is worth mentioning that many incidents of theft were registered against the Jews working in the Israeli army at the so-called military checkpoints which are spread in and around the Palestinian cities and towns in the occupied territories in the West Bank. The IDF soldiers all the time steal the money from the Palestinian wallets during the “inspections” which they conduct.
Many incidents of theft of money, gold and other property of the Palestinians have been recorded in the occupied territories and in the Gaza strip, most them happened during so called IDF “operations”, during which the soldiers break into Palestinian houses under the pretext of security inspections, detentions and looking for wanted people. In general, all the houses which are searched by the IDF soldiers and were nothing was stolen, are left vandalized and in ruins, with the furniture so broken that it can only be thrown by the Palestinians into the garbage.
Many Palestinian from the Gaza Strip reported that their homes had been looted and stolen of everything valuable during the so called “Operation Cast Lead”. The IDF soldiers were stealing private credit cards which belong to the Palestinians families and they have used for example to buy chocolate and sweets during the war crimes horror against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip. One case has become known, in which the thief was forced to return the stolen money to its owner.
On May, 13 2009, Hanan Greenberg wrote in YnetNews: “The IDF Southern Command’s military court remanded the arrest of a Givati Brigade soldier Wednesday for looting during Israel’s recent military operation in Gaza.
The soldier is suspected of stealing a credit card from a Palestinian home together with another soldier. He later proceeded to use it in order to purchase merchandise worth NIS 1,600 ($388). Their arrest was first reported by Ynet.
The accused soldier pled guilty to the charges against him during questioning, and the military prosecution intends to indict him in the coming days. His arrest is currently remanded until Monday.
Hotels and chicken Thieves
The incidents of theft by Israeli soldiers in hotels have also increased abroad: IDF soldiers are known worldwide to be fond of stealing bathrobes, pictures, and anything else that is not bolted down from the hotels where they live.
One of the stories which I witnessed was in 2004 in Patagonia. A group of IDF soldiers (”backpackers”) arrived in the village where I was during an afternoon, among them some officers. At the entrance of the village they spread out to all the streets of this small place of about 500 inhabitants. The officers placed their tent outside the hostel where I was, the soldiers tented out of the village. During the night, the Israelis had party and grilled chicken for the whole group.
On the next day, the owner of the hostel complained that 18 chicken had disappeared, “stolen by a two-legged fox” as he put it. The owner of the chickens was very sad, the Israelis not really.
