Democracy Now! | Palestinian Presidential Candidate Mustafa Barghouti Beaten by Soldiers Blasts "Fascist" Israeli Oppression: "I explained to them who I was and that I was a presidential candidate for presidential elections in Palestine. And they immediately started cursing us, shouting, saying bad words, something that I have never experienced in my life, this level of how vulgar things were and how impolite. And then they started beating the people with me and forcing them to go down to the ground. "

...

"Anybody who dared to speak to another person would be hit immediately. Anybody who tried to stand up would be hit immediately. So practically they tortured us."
