“Maybe that means your whole story is made up!”
Jerusalem, October 17 – A local youth who used his mobile phone to record himself destroying his sibling’s property, punching and hitting him repeatedly, damaging the house, flushing a cherished pet down the toilet, and forcibly removing possessions from the brother’s room yesterday, vehemently protested today when the brother accused him of kicking, as well.
Kfir Abadi, 12, called Ziv, 10, a liar this morning when the latter recounted the events that Kfir himself had uploaded to Instagram in separate clips. Ziv referred to the blows that Kfir inflicted as “punching and kicking me,” while Kfir characterized that terminology as “inflammatory” and “unwarranted,” as what had in fact happened was that Kfir used his knees, elbows, fists, and several blunt objects to batter his bother, but at no point did he extend his foot into him to inflict the abuse.
“That’s just a flat-out lie!” protested Kfir. “You know I didn’t kick you even once! Maybe that means your whole story is made up!” Kfir declined to address the documented evidence from his own device and social media that he did engage in the destructive, abusive behavior, and has talked of perpetrating it many times in the last several years.
The boys’ parents grounded Kfir for his actions, revoked his allowance, and promised to withhold junk food for as long as necessary for him to get the message that such behavior will never be tolerated. Kfir threw a tantrum upon hearing the result, accusing his parents of ignoring Ziv’s provocations and always siding with the younger sibling. He appeared unmoved by admonitions that no such provocations justify any violence on Kfir’s part, which the elder son chose to interpret as them not caring when he suffers.
Kfir’s friends challenged the narrative of his abusive behavior. “I haven’t seen any evidence of kicking,” interjected Gadi, a longtime buddy of Kfir from school. “The bruises on Ziv’s body would be totally different and they’re the wrong color. Something’s totally fishy with this story.”
“It probably wasn’t even Kfir,” suggested Boaz, a neighbor who often attempts to kiss up to the burly, intimidating Kfir for his own protection. “Maybe it was other members of the household or neighborhood who followed him into the room and did all the bad stuff. He was just trying to liberate what’s rightfully his. Ziv came along long after Kfir, and usurped the space Kfir had to himself from time immemorial.”
