JERUSALEM, June 22 — The Israeli army has charged a female soldier with forcing a Palestinian woman at a checkpoint to drink the cleaning fluid she was carrying, a military spokesman said on Monday.

The military charge sheet said the incident occurred four months ago in the Gaza Strip when the soldier pointed her assault rifle at the Palestinian woman, shouted at her and demanded she drink from a bottle she was holding.

Military sources said the soldier was arrested over the incident, and that the Palestinian woman received treatment in a Gaza hospital.

Palestinian civilians have complained of hundreds of cases of abuse by soldiers at army checkpoints that have spread across Gaza and the West Bank since Palestinian militants began an uprising against occupation in September 2000.

When the Israeli's become animals like the Palestinians, they will lose God's blessing and Israel...The good people of Israel understand that...good Israel's live by that, by treating their prisoners humane.
Those who show no mercy will receive no mercy...

Not sure this qualifies as a wacko, outspot, but one thing I noted you'll NEVER see reported about a terrorist who kills Jews (or Americans, as they do in Iraq)

The Israeli army (American Army, in similar circumstances) has charged a female soldier

Nice try at moral equivalency though, jihadist.

I can't tell from the article whether the soldier made an honest mistake or whether she did so knowing it was poisonous ... please keep us informed as to the outcome ... it's good that the IDF has accountability, even in the face of a nearly impossible situation ...

I was thinking how different this forum would be if a member of Homeland Securty did this to a suspected terrorist in America...? Outrage !!!

Security guards at airports routinely request travelers to take a sip of liquids that they claim are beverages. It is SOP.

Too bad they don't say what the chemical is. I'm sure they know. Here's a hint: "reportedly, an industrial toxin used to dry fiberglass"

That would probably be acetyl peroxide. It is an incendiary explosive. Like acetone it ignites easily, the peroxide renders it explosive.

Where...When? ...give me one example that can be 'documented' ? Asked not 'Forced' to drink in America ?
The soldier 'forced' the woman to drink it after she refused !
Her refusal was a pretty good clue...it was not water...she should have been taken in to custody and the water tested...
evidently the soldiers commander agreed with me...
I am not an enemy of Israel...I am a seeker of truth and justice...
