From the Ha’aretz article, “IDF probing whether troops forced Gaza man to drink urine“:
The latest complaint was submitted by Omar al-Qanoa to the IDF military advocate general by the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights.
It states that Qanoa, from the Atatara neighborhood of Gaza City, was detained by the IDF on January 4, along with family members. They were released the following day, but he was transported, bound and blindfolded, to another location, where he was kept for two more days. During that time, he said soldiers denied him water, beat and kicked him, and on three occasions forced him to drink urine.
He says soldiers also stole his cell phone as well as $1,000 and NIS 2,500 in cash. He also said he was forced to tell an individual presented as a foreign journalist that he was being treated well.
According to the Israeli organisation Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), Palestinian patients are increasingly being asked to make an impossible choice: Either to become collaborators with the Israeli intelligence apparatus – or to remain in Gaza without medical treatment. http://english.aljazeera.net/focus/crisisingaza/2...
RE: "IDF probing whether troops forced Gaza man to drink urine" HASBARA RATIONALIZATION: "Well, it was good enough for Ghandi!"
Ghandi drank the urine of cow. Not his own. Correct? Cows are sacred to them. I have heard it has healing benefits as well. A big middle finger to all sociopath Israelis, devoid of any humanity. Every day, I have to stop and remind myself, after reading headlines coming out of Israel, that I have met good Israelis. Not all are like that. Their animalistic behavior brings me to the verge of losing my humanity too, and makes me want to lump them all under one generalization. Israel, you are digging your own grave. Keep it up, and you will cause your own destruction.
I wonder why I read nothing of Islamists animalistic behavior bringing you to the verge of losing your humanity. Your own are excusable?
OK folks, it's Gandhi, and I don't believe he drank either his own or cow urine… though some indians have been known to drink either one, or both.
Accusations are common against the Most Moral Army in the World. The soldier mistook the Gazan for a common urinal.
RE: "Ghandi drank the urine of cow. Not his own. Correct?" MY COMMENT: I don't really know (or much care). I was trying to make a point about how absurd Hasbara rationalizations often are. Gahndi was not FORCED by soldiers with weapons to drink urine.
FROM ME ABOVE: "I was trying to make a point about how absurd Hasbara rationalizations often are." FROM GIDEON LEVY: "…We deny, repress, lie, attack and compare ourselves to others, and our conscience remains clear….Even the excuse "everyone does it" will not do any good, as it does no good for a driver caught speeding. The Americans kill more? The French slaughtered more? That may do for the Foreign Ministry's automatic statements. We deserve more, we deserve the full truth – what exactly our soldiers did in our name, each of our names, on the streets of Gaza, imprisoned and bleeding for the 22 days of a useless war."

Poor point. Israel is in a life and death struggle with Islamic fascism represented by Hamas. Not speeding cars.
Imagine how worse things are in other wars.
yeah, change the subject.
That is the subject; The most moral Army. The Afghan Army does what to you? No lying, fess up.
