This is scary and 1984 ish. A man was arrested because of a bad translation.

More like the movie Brazil, during the opening of which: > a fly gets jammed in a printer and results in the incarceration and accidental death during interrogation of cobbler Archibald Buttle – instead of renegade air conditioning specialist and suspected terrorist Archibald Tuttle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_(1985_film)

Collateral damage. People are routinely murdered for being in the same area as people who are suspected of terrorism on the basis of evidence which has never seen a courtroom.

  Not sure if you're saying that makes it OK. I don't think that makes it OK.

  One post could be a mistake, but two posts like this is not an accident. This is not the right forum for you to start attacking Israel about everything and anything.

    Extrajudical killings is more a US drone strike topic than an Israel one.

Arrested because a huge centralized corporation based on collecting people personal data to profile them has replaced humans by machines which made an obvious mistake. Then other people reported said man to local authorities who acted on it without checking the source.

What's even more 1984-ish is that the phrase "attack them" will get you arrested in Israel.

  Only if you're not of the favored ethnic group.

    Especially when you're part of the non-favored ethnic group that perpetrates and celebrates the routine murder of innocent men, women, and children. Murder that is some times committed using construction equipment. Now if you were a cop, and just received a photo of what looks like a member of the non-favored ethnic group with a murder weapon, saying "kill them" I'd bet you wouldn't just shrug it off. You take action to save innocent lives. Ask questions later.
