Denmark Demands Israeli Explanation For Gun-whipping Peace Activist

Berlin, April 18, IRNA -- Denmark demands a formal explanation from Israel after an Israeli soldier was filmed assaulting an unarmed Danish activist protesting the ongoing Zionist regime occupation in West Bank, according to Danish news reports. “We don’t yet know the circumstances surrounding the episode. The Danish ambassador has therefore immediately asked the Israeli authorities for a report,” Danish Foreign Minister Villy Sovndal was quoted saying in a press statement. A video footage showing a seemingly unprovoked Israeli soldier assaulting a young Danish activist with his M16 rifle has sparked international outrage. The incident occurred reportedly over the weekend after 250 mostly-Palestinian activists rode their bicycles in the Jordan Valley in protest of the occupation when they were stopped by Israeli soldiers. According to witnesses, the soldiers hit the activists and destroyed their bicycles during a confrontation. The vicious attack against the Danish peace activist has only further tarnished Israel's image in the world after the Zionist regime cracked down on a mass fly-in of hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters who had hoped to draw global attention to the Israeli occupation. Dozens, if not hundreds, of activists were barred from boarding international flights to Tel Aviv and dozens of others were denied entry after landing./end
