Palestinians mock kidnapping in video

Top hats, a dwarf, a Jew-fro wig and a fictional terror organization called “Abu Saqer el Khalili Brigades, the Kick Ass Branch” — all feature in a campy Palestinian parody of the kidnapping of three Israeli teens.

The first act begins with three men hatching the plot. One is a heavyset Arab man wearing a flannel shirt and holding a machine gun; the two others appear to be posing as a father-son duo of ultra-Orthodox Jews. As they approach the road, they spot the three teens, played by Palestinian men wearing wigs (including one with an unmistakable Jew-fro), waiting at a bus stop.

Next, the “ultra-Orthodox son” feigns what appears to be a heart attack or choking episode, while the father runs to ask the hitchhikers for help. After they are lured to the scene, the three teens help carry the “ailing” kidnapper to the car, where they are ambushed by the man with the gun and the “ultra-Orthodox men” and stuffed into the trunk of the car....

...Palestinian popular support for the abduction has proliferated on social media, with Palestinians posting photos of themselves signaling a three-fingered victory sign to symbolize the three abducted Israelis.
