"predictable has been outrage from the right. Last month two leaders of extremist Jewish settlers in Hebron, Baruch Marzel and Itimar Ben Gvir, announced that they had enrolled on Hassan's course. "I would love for him to ask me about my army service," said Marzel. "I can only assure you that he will be the one walking out of the classroom."

The army added its voice too, with senior officers, including the Chief of Staff, Ashkenazi, putting pressure on Sapir College to publicly rebuke the film-maker and punish him.

A letter from the head of army personnel, General Elazar Stern, accused the college of failing to act with "proper determination" and urged that Hassan face "sharp, public, official condemnation." Stern added that Hassan must be made to apologize or be sacked, otherwise the army would end its funding of places for hundreds of soldiers who attend courses at Sapir."

indeed grotesque resolutions to absurd situations ..

but you have to take into consideration that in this country people serve in the army for short periods of time along their life, so they may wear or appear in army's uniform in many different situations.. which is of course only a short "flick" of the overall "absurd" state of affairs.

Yes, but a weapon in class! Intimating for all, particularly for an Arab.
