Israeli forces have sprayed Palestinian homes in the village of Nabi Saleh with raw sewage as a punishment for organising weekly protests against the Apartheid Wall built on occupied West Bank land. Human rights watchdog B'Tselem published a video showing Israel's armoured tanker trucks fitted with "water cannons" which spray the foul fluid at Palestinian protesters.
B'Tselem said in a statement that the Israeli forces also targeted all the houses of the village with the sewage. The powerful jet broke windows and caused a great deal of damage in the houses, said the Israeli organisation. "It also causes environmental damage," it pointed out. The non-lethal weapon has been added to the Israelis' armoury for crowd control, said B'Tselem, even though the video shows clearly that it is also used against Palestinian-owned property.
The Israeli military has been looking for an alternative to tear gas canisters for crowd control, claiming that the Palestinians now know how to cope with the gas and its effects.

Sewage is normally watered down to a clear like appearance which can have various colors, in fact at several points in the video the spray does have a brownish tinge to it. Give it another view and perhaps you may notice this.

Even if this is "just water being sprayed via high powered hose" it is still unacceptable.edit on 3/14/2013 by Corruption Exposed because: (no reason given)
Well it could be "Israel fights swarms of locusts from Egypt"
Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in harmony before the Apartheid began.
Skunk - the proven most effective, non-lethal riot control solution.
Skunk is an innovative, non-lethal riot control method with proven effectiveness. A pungent, foul-smelling - yet completely non-toxic - liquid spray, it quickly disperses the most determined of violent demonstrators.
Harmless to them, to officers in the field, and to the environment, Skunk is the optimal response for the modern police force.
Odortec's eco-friendly Skunk solution was developed with the Israeli police department to meet the highest operational requirements. And it does so with less manpower, at lower cost and without the use of force required by other riot control tactics.

And if it's true ... I guess it's better than them blowing up buildings and/or launching rockets ....
