The man refused to move. The Israeli army drove a tractor over his legs. The tractor belonged to the Palestinians. The Israeli army had seized it. The man was hospitalized. More information is here. The photos are by Hazam Bader of AFP.

Ethnic cleansing, occupation, illegal squatters, racism and apartheid, that's the rogue state of Israel.

The picture shows the soldier's foot under the left side of the worker on the ground that looks agonizing with pain.

so, he's not kicking him, he's giving him a foot massage

This is not the way to treat someone who has just been in a serious accident and evidently in a huge amount of pain

From the link in #1:

Israeli Terrorism – Demolitions & Army run over a man who tries to stop a demolition in Palestine – Jan 25, 2012 – in pictures

An injured Palestinian construction worker screams in pain after an Israeli army driver drove a trailer hooked to a tractor over his legs, as he tried to block him when Israeli forces stopped workers on January 25, 2012 from building a house in al-Dirat village, south of Yatta in the southern Bank town Hebron region. The Israeli forces were seizing the equipment and trailer from the construction workers as the site falls in the occupied zone C in which Israel prevents Palestinians from building on their land.

Would they do it to Israeli settlers that have been preventing IDF demolitions and tracking IDF movements?

Seems that the 2 groups are treated differently... Apartheid?

Very sorry to see this cruelty by the Israeli Apartheid machinery. Condemnation of such acts is a must by all.

Make your State in such a way that the stranger will feel comfortable among you.

That "state" should not have existed and that "stranger" owned the place.

Thank you for the picture Son of Abraham; a picture is worth a thousand words. Anyone remembers the heroin Rachel Corrie, and wonder how she had felt, under that tractor.

yea.... lol... The Israeli's tried to say Rachel had a hand grenade too... but again, it was just another lie.

"No," said Judge Oded Gershon from the bench, "we know that it is untrue that a grenade was thrown."

That is pure diversionary fiction, for them to even say that Rachel had a grenade. Israeli's mode operandi' has always been "we will just make stuff up" and the sheeple will believe anything we say, that is how we have always operated and it has worked for us so far.

That is why it is the greatest sin what happened to Rachel. She went out there with nothing, and they mowed her down anyway. A defenseless little American who had nothing but a compassion for the Palestinian People, and tried to halt a tractor with only her steely reserve.

Rachel IS a hero who gave up her life for a cause she strongly believed in.

another headache

that was my first thought. Rachel Corrie. I wonder how the lies from this will shake out and how it will end up sounding as if he was asking for it. The rape victim defense. She/He was asking for it. This is so freaking sick.
