Israeli Soldiers at a Checkpoint

201 38 24
                                        

On duty now at the checkpoint,
chance for a bit of crocodile bagging,
our turn for a crack at the two-legged beasts,
a bit of pest control, crushing the grasshoppers
before they become locusts.
'Roach control.* Ha-ha.

Here comes a fat daughter
of an even fatter Arab bitch
and her man too. No. He's too young, I'd say.
Fat? Either she's got a bomb round her belly or
she's ready to spawn?
Two for the price of one.
Three for the price of two then.

Where do they think they're going?
The morons are in the vehicle lane.
They think they are cars?
Go back, idiots! What the fuck are you doing?
No. Don't let them go. Let's confuse them.
See what they do now.
Stay where you are and don't move"
Get back out of the area. This is a car lane!
Stay where you are! Ha-ha.
Ah to hell with it. It's been a slow shift.

Blam! Blam! - Hey! Belly and head.
Blam! She's going nowhere.

Where you going boy?
Stay still while we take you out too.
He's running. Blam! Blam!
Down. Blam! Blam! and out! Blam!

You saw that. She pulled a knife.
This knife! Look. Here it is now (nice plant)!
And look, the boy has one, too.
Just another pair of terrorists.

The woman was 23 and her brother was 16.  Witnesses, other than the Israeli forces, report no knives as the clip shows. What they say is, the Israeli guards shouted then opened fire when they had the full attention of their targets.
