While not clear from this article, the German one mentions
According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who have now been called up as reservists. They were travelling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.
Man, the 20s are a weird time. A century ago, it would have been the Germans asking the Jews if they were Jewish at gunpoint, not the other way around. It’s almost funny how “never again” is now just “again” now that Israel is taking charge…
It wasn’t just “the Germans” that did pogrom after pogrom to the Jewish populations of Europe and the Middle East.
It was all of them. Over and over again for millennia.

Mind you, other religions can sustain genocide as well. As can atheism. In the end it’s just plain old tribalism with a different coat of paint.
Doing dirty work of the ruling elites can cause peasants to do violence.
They’re lucky they didn’t get executed. Israel has killed, what, 25 journalists so far in the past month?
It’s currently 34 - 1 for the occupation government. Hamas sucks at this, even the one they scored may have been an accident.
It’s a bunch of nazi reservist from the illegal settlement, but anyway
How can Hamas do this
I get 403: Forbidden from OP’s source, so here’s a translation of the German article:
Incident in the West Bank: ARD (German public broadcasting) team detained by Israeli soldiers
Last update: November 05, 2023 8:50 pm
An ARD team was detained and threatened by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank on their way back from researching violence by radical settlers against Palestinians. The ARD studio in Tel Aviv sees this as a clear attack on the freedom of the press.
An ARD team has been detained and threatened by soldiers of the Israeli military (IDF) in the Palestinian West Bank. According to the ARD studio in Tel Aviv, which is operated by Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), correspondent Jan-Christoph Kitzler was already on his way back from an interview with a Palestinian employee and a German employee when they were stopped by Israeli soldiers south of the Palestinian city of Hebron.
As Kitzler reports and cell phone videos of the team prove, the soldiers behaved extremely aggressively towards the ARD team. Weapons were repeatedly held in the team vehicle. The soldiers repeatedly filmed the ARD team at close range - for Kitzler and the team a clear attempt at intimidation. Soldiers apparently conscripted reservists
According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who had been called up as reservists. They were traveling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.
“The soldiers threatened us with their weapons and asked us if we were Jewish. Our colleague was insulted as a traitor,” reports Kitzler. The ARD team was there to report on violence by radical settlers against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. This has increased significantly since the start of the war and numerous cases have been documented. “We cannot accept this approach”
For Christian Limpert, head of the ARD studio in Tel Aviv, the case is an attempt to massively obstruct reporting from the Palestinian West Bank, and other international media are also affected. “This is the second incident for us within a week. Our team clearly identified itself as accredited press representatives and was far away from military security areas. We cannot accept the actions of the Israeli military.”
The situation only eased after more than an hour, when additional Israeli soldiers and police were called in. The IDF’s Foreign Desk, which is responsible for foreign correspondents, also mediated by telephone.
BR considers the event to be an attack on the freedom of the press. According to BR editor-in-chief Christian Nitsche, the multiple pointing of the gun is completely unacceptable. The Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Israel, among others, has also announced that it will take action in the matter. The ARD studio in Tel Aviv will commission a lawyer to examine a legal investigation into the incident.
Huh, weird. I have no issues accessing it, but apparently bypass bots like 1ft.io are also blocked. It’s a big Israeli newspaper.
I think you mean 12ft. It was shut down by the ISP about a week ago.Is this the same guy resurrecting 12ft? Who owned the domain?
I think it’s someone else doing a similar thing. I recently heard about it and with the 12ft shutdown I thought I’d try it ;)
God’s chosen genocide squad
Civilian vehicles, civilian “headgear”…
How do we know these were activated soldiers and not just vigilanties
From the IDF response.
And from their employers confirming they are press
Wrong group. The soldiers were in civilian clothes.
Ugh, I used to highly defend Israel like a decade ago. And I thiiink back then the IDF was much less hostile in their actions plus “Pallywood” was much more prominent. Now it seems that many Israelis have become radicalised and the stuff that was faked by Hamas and other terror organisations has just become actual truth.
Germans are Hamas too, obviously.
