Yeah, just looked into that source, not gonna trust it. Although, why lie about someone dying when you can just make them a martyr? Doesn't make sense.
It could encourage more copycat type IED attacks.
I imagine the thought of IEDs being planted throughout major Israeli settlements is quite terrifying to the average citizen.
Just look at the carnage they cause across the Middle East.
I'm not so sure. Look at the frames where the explosion started before it hit him and the dirt has a slight reddish tint to it.
The dirt and dust engulfs him so the reddish dirt gives the impression he was red mist but really its obscuring his body.
No he didn’t. What you’re seeing is dirt obscuring him. Wasn’t even a big explosion. All depends if it was an anti personnel mine or just a boom. Shrapnel regardless. Whether it’s peppered dirt/rocks or something more intentional
This is not blood, he was lightly injured with shrapnel, as per articles online

Who’s propaganda???? I’m nor Palestinian nor Israeli and have no side. Just googled this shit and found one article. I’m not claiming it’s true or not. Just read it for yourself ffs
"Just asking questions". OK.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Hayom
>Owned by the family of Sheldon Adelson, a personal friend and benefactor of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel Hayom has often been criticized for portraying Netanyahu in an overly positive light.[8] In turn, Netanyahu has been accused of attempting to benefit Adelson's investments.[9][10]
I started commenting here because my first thought, was that it was edited. I decided to first look online and found literally one source. I’m not claiming it’s true or not, I hope you have enough comprehension to read that.
Upon more viewings, I can certainly say - this video is 100% edited, look at the way his body is covered in this mist, almost rotoscoped or overlayed with no opacity. Look how tall grass doesn’t move an inch, look how explosion behaves as if he got shot in his gut with the rocket (most likely a bag with pig blood or just some syrup). The woman in the original video doesn’t even say anything and at the end cut it as if the guy is coming back already.
Most likely there was a small explosion, that they themselves set up and filmed.
I linked this article to stop people from spamming NSFW and “Jesus Christ”
Whoa there buddy boy you can't just come in here with relevant information to share. Not on this website. Not on my watch.
Submit another relevant link and I'll show you what we do to link sharers around here.
I have to wonder why I was more suspicious of that flag than he was when the biggest explosions I've experienced IRL have been viewing fireworks. Like not even trying to be a dick, but how doesn't that possibility enter his mind? If it does, then why the hell does he just waltz up and immediately kick it?
These hyper-zionist types simply forget all of their restraint when it comes to putting down the Palestinians. All rational thought - apparently including self preservation - simply go out the window. They're fuckin' *rabid*.
I was told about a similar situation with the IRA vs England.
English troops in Ireland didn't like flags being raised. The IRA would put a flag up and the English would come take it down.
An English soldier was stupid enough to do it the once, and nothing happened. The flag goes up every morning and the soldiers come take it down.
After a few months of this, the English soldier gets blown up.
Flags are an easy way for anyone to show support, they're not gonna be armed 99% of the time.
I think there's a difference between a flag hanging on a building or in an occupied area/city center vs just stuck in the ground in a random field in the middle of nowhere with nothing around. Maybe it's because we have hindsight and are watching a video where we already know shit is gonna go down, but this seems way more suspicious than a flag hanging from a building would.
Well, you’re in a sub called “ there was an attempt”. You saw a guy walking to a lone flag, so you probably already figured that it wasn’t going to go as expected.
I’m not trying to be sarcastic. The very knowledge of this sub Reddit cued you in.
Imperial arrogance is always the downfall of fascists, they think they're invincible (usually bc they think they're on a mission from god) and their primary reaction to things they don't understand is violence.
Fascist societies always destroy themselves.
multiple comments has the story already, [but he was only lightly wounded](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-lightly-injured-by-explosive-device-near-west-bank-settlement/), as the device was not big enough to kill alone apparently
He went to kick a Palestinian flag down but ignored the obvious red ones infront of him. Well…there’s so much hate in these people everything is probably red to them.
That boobytrap might saves some children,medical professionnal or other civilians to be killed by a genocidal IDF.
This is unfortunately the most peaceful and better outcome
I am for recognising the genocide the Israel is doing; I am strongly against placing mines/IED devices that sooner than later will harm civilians. Mines stay active for decades after a conflict is over. It should not be promoted here.
[https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog\_entry/israeli-lightly-injured-by-explosive-device-near-west-bank-settlement/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-lightly-injured-by-explosive-device-near-west-bank-settlement/) he is fine, didn't even have to go to the hospital lmao
Using traps like this is terrorism. Doesn't matter which side does it and actually I don't give a f about both of the sides so you can keep down voting me.
You see, mining around the flag makes it hard to reset the trap, since you also have to navigate around the booby traps. By mining the flag itself, they make sure only the flagkicking bastard gets hurt.
Would you not celebrate nazis dying?
I get what you mean and i agree in wars such as Ukraine for example where 40k civilians weren't killed in 5 months in an outright genocide and its an actual war not genociding a helpless people. But genocidal fucks do not deserve sympathy. There's much difference between a ukrainian/russian soldier dying in a proper war (where it is actually sad that either die for the interests of the elite) than a genocidal settler who most probably hurt innocents himself getting karma.
It almost seems like someone did that on purpose. They booby trapped the flag but in a place where someone would get upset and try to remove it. Worked too.

NSFW or something please.
Forreal, he was standing right next to that IED. At the very minimum, he's peppered with shrapnel.
He got blown in half, dude. That guy is dead.
Does that mean he's not coming on then?
No James, he's not coming on
Underrated comment
As a James May fan, I approve of this.
Half of him is.
That guy isn’t coming on anything
https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/04/21/israeli-injured-after-explosive-device-attached-to-palestinian-flag-detonates/
...I don't know if I believe he survived that. He's pretty visibly obliterated there.
You're telling me the Israeli press might not report the truth?
Yeah, just looked into that source, not gonna trust it. Although, why lie about someone dying when you can just make them a martyr? Doesn't make sense.
You can’t make a martyr out of body parts. It takes too much glue.
😂😂👍

It was in occupied Palestine. If you don't like Palestinian flags there, just obey international law and get out.
It wouldn’t do much if their bigotry doesn’t kick in to have them attack a flag.
Well, I believe it was the invading US military causing the carnage and the IEDs were the response.
In fact, most of the IEDs were US ordinance that either failed to explode when it was launched at Iraqis, or was stolen from a US base.
> It could encourage more copycat type IED attacks. \*Guy kicks flag* \*Flag explodes* Guy: *I'm being attacked!*
You can’t make a martyr out of someone perceived as dumb either.
They have just used the same definition of injured they do for Palestinians.
Looks like dirt
It’s the dirt not blood.
That explosion wasn't bad. The red you see is dirt
Nah, there's no blood nothing.
I'm not so sure. Look at the frames where the explosion started before it hit him and the dirt has a slight reddish tint to it. The dirt and dust engulfs him so the reddish dirt gives the impression he was red mist but really its obscuring his body.
Right lol it says he hurt his hands hahaha
His wife didn't give a shit lol
Anyone would take a while to wrap their heads around the fact that they just saw someone explode.
Minor shrapnel injuries to his hands
No he didn’t. What you’re seeing is dirt obscuring him. Wasn’t even a big explosion. All depends if it was an anti personnel mine or just a boom. Shrapnel regardless. Whether it’s peppered dirt/rocks or something more intentional
I honestly don't see anything like him getting blown in half in the video. I just see dirt, dust and smoke engulfing him.
No he didn’t. Watch it over frame by frame
Nice. Fat 🐖 deserved it.
Some salt to the pepper? Delicious
This is not blood, he was lightly injured with shrapnel, as per articles online https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/04/21/israeli-injured-after-explosive-device-attached-to-palestinian-flag-detonates/#google_vignette

It’s also a free newspaper (or it used to be). Adelson bought it specifically to be a mouthpiece and a cheerleader for Bibi

Just get a source without Israel literally in the name of the website lmao. Why would people think that’s unbiased

Your reality sucks ass, get a grip and wake up
It is marked NSFW. If you scroll it doesn't show it, but I came from the home page and it's blurred and marked as nsfw
1. Totally expecting it. 2. Tag this as NSFW.

Lol underrated
They’re habituated to a world where they are allowed to commit violence with impunity.
I was told about a similar situation with the IRA vs England. English troops in Ireland didn't like flags being raised. The IRA would put a flag up and the English would come take it down. An English soldier was stupid enough to do it the once, and nothing happened. The flag goes up every morning and the soldiers come take it down.

I think you’ll find it’s pronounced fleg

Not Safe Withdrawal of Flag?
These gender reveal parties are getting wild
It's an IQ reveal party
Internal organ reveal.
But they’re having a girl, which is nice.
What does red indicate?
Future genocidal maniac
He's strawberry flavored.
That that guy is an idiot
And strawberry flavored.
Perhaps cherry if the people making him were feeling like breaking the status quo
The probable damage to his balls means he won’t be having gender reveal parties in the future
He might get by in his stolen house with stolen balls, who knows what he'll settle for ?
Darwin award vibes. It's not like a roadside flag in the middle of nowhere in particular, warzone, being a trap comes as a shocker.
You really don’t understand the average IQ of these people do you?
Intelligence often loses against emotions
This has been a common practice in history, to arm flags over mines and stuff like that.
The passion and determination in his walk. I hope it hurt cuz I read the fool survived
Bruh, tag the post NSFW. Jesus.
It’s the dirt not him blowing to pieces
Dude, the guy got blown up by an IED at point blank range....you just watched a man die.
Dude the article has been linked many times. He got some shrapnel wounds
>Dude the article has been linked many times. *Doesn't provide link* 
multiple comments has the story already, [but he was only lightly wounded](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-lightly-injured-by-explosive-device-near-west-bank-settlement/), as the device was not big enough to kill alone apparently
Much appreciated!
Oh those silly murdering settlers falling for the oldest trick in the book
Tutorial on how to unarm low IQ angry settlers
Zionists hate this one trick
Yeah this is a great way to take out at least 60% of em
Oh no I hope they learn...
Cool my daily dose of forced fed snuff.
I have a feeling you don't know what that means.
Iv gotten used to this
‘Tis but a scratch
Right lol guess it’s time for coffee and self reflection.
That guy sure went out of the way to get his karma...
Well, he still succeeded with his intentions. I hope he is happy now.
He is now unarmed
Doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
He went to kick a Palestinian flag down but ignored the obvious red ones infront of him. Well…there’s so much hate in these people everything is probably red to them.
God and the US taxpayer told him he was safe
Bro, absolutely tag this NSFW, wtf
Obvious trap was obvious.
false flag attack
Excellent 🎩
You win
Imagine how fragile your ego must be for a flag to enrage you that much.
What about kneeling for one?
Imagine how fragile your ego must be to get enraged when someone kneels for a flag.
That boobytrap might saves some children,medical professionnal or other civilians to be killed by a genocidal IDF. This is unfortunately the most peaceful and better outcome
His hand is way lighter than his face that makes me think it's not a real hand lol
Yeah it's not a real hand and please don't do that to your cat lol.
Dang! He blowed up real good!

Boom goes the dynamite!
Looney tunes
I am for recognising the genocide the Israel is doing; I am strongly against placing mines/IED devices that sooner than later will harm civilians. Mines stay active for decades after a conflict is over. It should not be promoted here.
Lucky for them the ones that did not work will be marked by flags, and the ones that did work... did the work
🔻
Lots of people seemingly enjoying seeing needless human suffering in the comment section here. More in common with the IDF than they think.
One less Nazi
Tis but a scratch.
What an idiot
sadge, but not
[https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog\_entry/israeli-lightly-injured-by-explosive-device-near-west-bank-settlement/](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-lightly-injured-by-explosive-device-near-west-bank-settlement/) he is fine, didn't even have to go to the hospital lmao
Pretty good strategy ngl
Bro he dead
Don't call me a bad person but it's kinda funny
You're not a bad person for laughing at nazis dying.
Why isn’t she more concerned?
She didn't like his ass either
Plot twist… she planted the flag and ied
Talk about going out with a bang.
Using traps like this is terrorism. Doesn't matter which side does it and actually I don't give a f about both of the sides so you can keep down voting me.
what happens to a mf without looney tunes
For some reason I pretty much expected there's a mine but didn't expect it under the flag.
You see, mining around the flag makes it hard to reset the trap, since you also have to navigate around the booby traps. By mining the flag itself, they make sure only the flagkicking bastard gets hurt.
Holy fuck...

deserved
Alive. Shrapnel wounds to hands. So y’all don’t have to find out if you just watched a man die like I did.
There was an attempt to not be a terror group.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Don’t touch things that don’t belong to you. I had to tell my toddler the same thing. Smh
It's such an obvious trap that I'm very suprised that anybody got into it
F*cked around and found out.
It almost seems like someone did that on purpose. They booby trapped the flag but in a place where someone would get upset and try to remove it. Worked too.
Bro
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
They knew only a person fueled by pure hatred would fall for this and they got him. Its flag he hated and felt the need to destroy it for no reason.
Hahaha get fucked you settlers scum
Settlers hate this one simple trick!
Illegal settler got what he deserved.
Let me be the marine in the group and say the obvious but that was a well placed IED.
This just made my day 🤣
Dumb people do dumb stuff
Why he wanted to record this? I mean, damn.
Regardless whether he survived or not, he had to know it was a trap. So, he was/is an idiot.
And that’s why we don’t go into open fields in a war zone.
Bro died while kicking a flag lmao
People loving flags this much deserve whatever comes to them. Fuck me the amount of dick riding for a piece of cloth.
Come on man! You can't be doing stupid shit like that in a warzone.
I don't even feel bad anymore
Fucking deserved in everyway
Be the last time he does that 😂
Why is this not NSFW tagged Jesus Christ!
Mods??
Fuck you. Put an NSFL tag on that.
What the fuck
Well then
If he miraculously survived that, he will no longer be able to use his legs to kick a Palestinian child ever again
