Video: Palestinian carrying watermelon is stopped for four hours by Israeli soldiers

This is upsetting. A Palestinian man attempts to bring a watermelon home in Hebron and Israeli soldiers stop him and force him to put the offending fruit down.

Can I pass?

Not yet. Put the watermelon down.

 

The video was produced by Ta’ayush, and translated by the Alternative Information Center (AIC):

What is green on the outside red on the inside and threatens Israeli security?

On June 1, 2016 an elderly Palestinian tried to go through Shuhada Street in Hebron carrying a watermelon. This is his story.

The watermelon is dressed like IDF, sort of looks like them, maybe they thought at first it was one of their men? Then when they found out it was actually a Palestinian watermelon they were probably dumbfounded by the uncanny resemblance and had to regroup before they could mount a strategy for interrogating it.

I’m glad the standoff with the watermelon ended peacefully, but you have to pity the poor fruit. First it goes through that ordeal with the IDF, and then what do you imagine happened to it once the Palestinians got it home?!

Or maybe they were just hoping one of the Palestinians would have a knife to cut it, so they could shoot him in the street and become a national hero.

how many Israeli soldiers does it take to determine a watermelon isn’t a threat to the security of the jewish state?

A meloncholy situation. Sorry it had to come out. On a serious note I hope that the brave virtually defenceless but truly inspirational JSIL front line elite shock troops are really proud of the “fruits” of their day`s labour.

I wonder if Hezbollah have got FMD`s (fruits of mass destruction ) in their arsenal?

Mission Goal Edit

Fend off the Watermelon Elementals attacking the town, and find out where they came from.

Discover the Cause of the attack.
Missionary Summary Edit

The Group was being escorted through the streets of the Elemental town/villiage when Vel’sek and his animated dolls exited one of the buildings. While the guard was questioning him a portal opened up and through it came several Watermelon people, later determined to be Watermelomentals jumped through the portal and started to attack the denizens of the Earthen plane. Vel’sek joined the party temporarily to deal with the new threat by using his powerful magics to halt the Watermelomentals until the guard and paladins arrived.

The idf never seems short of a knife when the situation requires one.They could have cut it in half and saved some one hundred hours of manpower.

The image of the Palestinian sipping from a glass while he watched these fools is satisfying.
