Member of Knesset Esawi Farij (Meretz) attacked, Tuesday evening, the behavior of a Border Guard who was caught on video throwing the bicycle of a Hevron Arab girl into a bush.
Referring to a soldier on trial for killing a wounded terrorist in Hevron, Farij said, "This is not Elor Azaria. No one was wounded or died, only the banality of evil and moral degeneration of a soldier who decides to harass an eight-year-old girl, just because he feels like it. If anyone still needs proof the occupation corrupts, just watch the video."
" Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" is the title of a book by Hannah Arendt about the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann. A theory is that Eichmann was not acting out of hate but out of a non-ideological combination of career goals and obedience.
