Deputy FM Whbee: Israel racially discriminates against its citizens

[bemildred]

Druze lawmaker and Deputy Foreign Minister Majalli Whbee (Kadima) was outraged Thursday by the Police Investigation Department's decision not to bring charges or disciplinary actions against the officers who were accused of opening fire on demonstrators during a protest last year in the Druze town of Peki'in.

"It turns out that in the state of Israel it is permissible to shoot citizens, provided that they are the right citizens," Whbee said, referring to the fact that those injured were not Jewish, but Druze.
He added that "It is evident that the blood of some is more valuable than that of others. The unit investigated three complaints issued by civilians who were wounded by gunfire during the demonstrations, and all three were closed due to a lack of evidence.

In addition, the unit found that several other instances of gunfire lacked credible evidence to indicate wrongdoing.

Police issued a statement on Thursday saying that they didn't see evidence that police "did not respond as trained to the threats they were facing, and there is no way to deny that there lives were in danger as well."
