Palestinian teens order Haredi man to kiss their feet, post on TikTok, are arrested
Peace equals submission to the Master Religion. Mark Twain wrote about similar nasty boys when he went round the world over a century ago. [IsraelTimes] Judge extends remand of 14- and 16-year-olds charged with assault and issuing threats by an additional four days after incident in Jerusalem’s Old City.
Police arrested two Paleostinian teenagers who filmed themselves threatening an ultra-Orthodox man in Jerusalem’s Old City and ordering him to bend down on his knees and kiss one of their feet in a video that they later uploaded to TikTok.
The phenomenon of Paleostinians filming themselves assaulting or humiliating ultra-Orthodox residents sparked outrage and festivities last year, leading to several arrests. In one particularly viral video, a Paleostinian was filmed pouring hot coffee on an Orthodox man, leading to a two-year prison sentence.
The latest clip was captioned with the line "look at how he kisses his shoes" with a laughing emoji.
A police complaint was filed shortly after the video was uploaded and the 14 and 16-year-olds were arrested on Thursday and charged with assault and issuing threats.
A judge on Friday ordered the suspects’ remand extended by four more days.
Police said in a statement that it "will continue to fight the crimes of abuse, violence and humiliation and bring those involved to justice."
"Documenting illegal acts of this kind and spreading them on social media is even more serious, and the perpetrators knew that filming the act would only help the police gather evidence, locate those involved and quickly arrest them," police said.
