Though it was obvious to the Israelis that he was just a grocer, they interrogated him for hours while he was kept shackled (apparently they were concerned he's attack them with a concealed eggplant?).

They kept this innocent grocer captive for THREE WEEKS until the Israeli Supreme Court ordered him released.

Brilliant capture? Well, no.

Plainly cruel racism indicative of prevailing Israeli "collective punishment" dogma? Well, maybe.

Just plain stupid? Well, maybe more so.

Who's to say? Certainly a waste of time and supporting U.S. tax dollars.

And this proves what?
Isolated incidents like this occur in any conflict...they aren't right, an affront to decency and, as you say, stupid...but they happen! The US attacked the wrong island looking for the Pueblo, sent choppers that couldn't fly in the desert to rescue Iranian hostages; the Brits shot that poor guy in the head how many times? All he was doing was going to work! It's amazing how many acts of simple stupidity occur in this world every day...the implication that this indicates the Israelis are any different than all the rest of us is absurd.
