Israeli troops are kicking up a stink over their scraggly beards amid a surge of violence against Palestinians, who are forced to run for their lives from the atrocities of the Tel Aviv regime.

On Monday, Israeli troops were ordered to shave off the beards, an action which is at odds with the religious beliefs of orthodox Jews who usually go unshaven.

Based on the new regulation, Israeli soldiers must gain permission from their commanders to keep their beards. The new measures have been met with resistance from some rabbis who suggest disobeying the orders.

While Israeli troops are haggling over their facial hair Palestinians are being abducted, put in administrative dentition, and killed.

Since the recent spate of Israeli violence against Palestinians in early October, at least 190 Palestinians have lost their lives.

Thousands of Palestinians are also being held prisoner in Israeli jails hundreds of whom under administrative detention, which is a sort of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months. The detention order can be renewed for indefinite periods of time.
