For Palestinians, a knee-on-the neck is a scene that is all too familiar

A now infamous image of a white police officer kneeling on the neck of an African-American man, who would later die, has caused global outrage and violent unrest across the US.

For one community, the disproportionate violence faced by black people at the hands of US police forces has special resonance as it reflects their own experiences with the authorities. In the aftermath of Floyd’s killing, Palestinians were quick to draw parallels between the final images of the man suffering under the knee of the officer, and similar choke holds used by Israel occupation forces.

Killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces are also a regular occurrence: in 2019, 135 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces with 108 in Gaza and another 27 in the West Bank,The similarities do not end there, as some activists have drawn parallels between the way US police have handled protests against police brutality in the aftermath of Floyd’s death and the way Israel has dealt with protests in Gaza.

bu iyiydi.

May the curse of God on these scoundrels in Police uniform.

Stop Israël bashing

Violence of any kind is unacceptable. Least from those with Serve and Protect roles in any country!

One has his knee on the head of a man, holding him in a 'vice' against the ground. While the other has his knee on the throat of a man. Now which one would allow you to still be capable of breathing? Notice how the other soldier is straddling instead of kneeing him, too.

USA India Israel are equal in discrimination & Enemy of ☪️ Islam& Muslims

8 minutes, 46 seconds and 'inherently dangerous': What's in the criminal complaint in the George Floyd caseThe complaint states former police officer Derek Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's neck for 2 minutes, 53 seconds after Floyd was non-responsive. Autopsy shows no asphyxiation... buckle up. Please everyone calm down 'traumatic asphyxia' is a bullshit dodge. George Floyd was not asphyxiated. He was more quickly rendered brain dead with an illegal deadly modified choke hold cutting off blood to the brain with the knee on the side of his neck. Willful intentional murder!
