Zionist Snipers Shoot Palestinian Children for Fun

I think the UN, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are credible, and I believe them when they report that the IDF uses Palestinians as human shields.

There are just way too many sources and complaints, even a trial underway in Israel, for me to assume Hamas made it all up. Besides, that's not their MO. Anybody looking for real human rights violations in Palestine with which to tarnish Israel's reputation can find them easily without making stuff up. The trick is getting them into Western newspapers over the din of Israel's gloating and back patting.
No they aren't. They are anti-Israel, anti-semitic, hate America organizations.

At least 2,137 Palestinians were killed, including 577 children, and 10,870 wounded, since Israel launched a massive offensive called Protective Edge against the 40-kilometer-long coastal strip on July 8.

Seventy-two percent of Palestinians killed in this offensive were civilians, according to the UN. About a third of the wounded children, will be forced to live with permanent disabilities. One-third of Gaza's total population, over 520,000 people, have been displaced of whom 279,389 were taking shelter in 83 UN-run schools.

As Bombs Go Silent, Testimonies Mount That Israeli Soldiers Used Gazans as Human Shields · Global Voices

Those spotty UN investigators and their record for just making stuff up. How can I possibly believe roughly 72 percent of people killed in the last little conflict were civilians? That would run contrary to my image of a black and white imaginings of the world where there is a good side and an evil one.
Their government probably shouldn't have used them as human shields, huh?

Also, the their government should have accepted and kept the numerous ceasefires offered.

Then these people would be alive today.

This is what the "palestinian" ambassador to the UN said.

Palestinian Official Acknowledges Hamas War Crimes - Israel Today | Israel News

“The missiles that are now being launched against Israel, each and every missile constitutes a crime against humanity, whether it hits or misses, because it is directed at civilian targets,” Ibrahim Khraishi (pictured), the Palestinian ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council, told Palestinian Authority TV last week.
By contrast, Khraishi said that Israel had very cleverly adhered to international rules of engagement, so even if the Palestinian death toll is higher, legally Israel is still in the right.
“Many of our people in Gaza appeared on TV and said that the Israelis warned them to evacuate their homes before the bombardment. In such a case, if someone is killed, the law considers it a mistake rather than an intentional killing because [the Israelis] followed the legal procedures,” he explained.
That’s not to say Khraishi has become a legal advocate for Israel. He was careful to also label as war crimes the “[Jewish] settlements, the Judaization [of Jerusalem], the checkpoints,” and so on.
Still, there is no question that Hamas’ assault on the Jewish state is causing a severe headache for those involved in diplomatic and media efforts to delegitimize Israel.

Welp, just count me as another person who does not care what children come back to haunt that country. Look forward to a generation that is wholly unsympathetic towards your attitude.

Oh yeah, did I ever mention, as a progressive, that Hamas is a terrible organization, worthy of nothing but utter disdain? I better mention it before I get blamed for not criticizing the obviously terrible.

Pffffffffff.... I never hear you challenging all those people who call Hamas "the most moral army in the world".

Oh wait, that has never happened. Ever.

It's both amazing and pathetic that some on various sides of an issue feel that the opinions of one person, regardless as to that person's credentials and/or background, must somehow be intrinsically valid and taken at face-value. I listened to the entirety of what this young lady said, and I find that she states some truths, some "semi-truths", and some distortions. Since it would be a total waste of time to go through the entire statement and comment on each item, I'll just leave it at this.

Yes, and even more remarkable is that she was able to speak for 8 minutes without taking a breathe. ;)

Well carry on people.


PS: For those who can actually identify some dark moving people so far away as kids playing on a rooftop really need to apply as snipers in the military. You dont even need a scope. Holy crap.

Is not defending for "individual" crimes of Israeli army , is the real crap ?

Such behavior can be found in all Armies in the world.
The only difference is that there is only one army with journalists swarming around them watching their every move.

What annoys me is that the journalist had this angle on the sniper teams. A militant could have easily went past him shooting all soldiers. Not okay.
lair, by exagerate (generalize) to All armies .

not all armies are occupating and racist .

- if there is a justice these soldiers would be jailed and kicked out from service .

so is there a inverstigation about this crime?

That's true not all armies are like the arab countries.

Fortunatly isn't.

BTW when the Hamas government were firing rockets into Israel cities they were also firing rockets at muslims and christians whom also live there.
