Israeli officer: I was right to shoot 13-year-old child

[PlanetWarrior]

Pathetic understanding of the situation in Israeli-occupied Palestine. You push a domestic cat against the wall and even she will try (she may lose her life in the process) to pull your eye out of the socket. You wish Palestinians to be worse than even a domestic cat, don't you?

There was never a warning issued by the watch tower, nor was she allowed to return back to the camp. Have you read the account at all? Your hatred is so much empowering that you did not even bother to read the account detailed in the first post (and the link) and started spewing poison against those who have no grudges against you or your country. I can understand your hatred for Pakistani's, but what has Palestinians done to you Hindus that their lives appear so worthless to you?

Don't generalize. You just make the bigot's case stronger.

On topic : This sick s.o.b. is no soldier. He is just a murderer in a military uniform. Israel's whitewashing of his crimes just makes their case before the international community weaker. As time progresses, it seems that the Israelis are becoming masters at shooting themselves in the foot.

You are completely missing the point. Its the Hamas terrorists who have ensured that even children are now seen by soldiers as threats because you dont know who has a bomb strapped to his/her body. This has nothing to do with India or Pakistan. But the modus operandi of Hamas which has made targets out of small kids too. And you can stow the whole nonsense about the domestic cat example. The cornered domestic cat does not strap a bomb on its kitten and send it forward to save itself

There's way for anyone to justify this incident. The other soldiers very clearly stated that the girl was retreating back to the camp. This son of a bitch went up to her and shot her. Then unloaded 16 more bullets into her. That's sadistic at best. This is the kind of behavior you get when your propaganda portrays the enemy as subhuman.

No justification at all ... Just pointing out the direction where the blame should fall

I have a feeling that in the Israeli psyche the Palestinian has been completely dehumanised. Their actions whilst being logically sound, seem inhumane.

Some Indians will behave like staunch Israelis more than the israelis,my friend. I apologize on their behalf.

It is common across the subcontinent to take up a cause that riles up your enemy.

Indeed. I never meant that but I apologize if it appeared like that.

see .here's the thing, looking at the kind of hate muslims have for kafirs and the actions against kafirs , anyone will think of muslims as savages and subhumans.

Purely theologically speaking, Jews, and Christians reject non-Jews and non-Christians with the same conviction as Muslims reject non-Muslims. Besides, signs such as "Dogs and Indians not allowed" were not installed by Muslims rulers, but your beloved Christian British rulers.

And do you say that Hindus do not reject non-Hindus? even more than Jews, Christians, and Muslims do. Non-Hindus can and do invite Hindus to their home, share food, cooking and eating utensils but Hindus wont. Upon invitation, my Hindu friends insisted on serving them food in disposable plates together with disposable forks and spoons, and they did the same when we were invited in return. Have no grudges against them as I respect their religious/social norms but well, it is there.

At any rate, the point of discussion is not where you are trying to direct it. The point of discussion was Israeli war crimes and we better restrict to that.

In this case, the member concerned is an well known bigot notorious for his deep hatred for Muslims. Majority of Indians who have slightest idea about this conflict does not endorse this merciless killing, I hope (no matter how important Stragetic partner Israel has become with us).

Unless the child was wearing a suicide jacket , there can be no ' right ' reason to shoot a 13 year old child.

 

[dravidianhero]

Sad that an innocent child died in the hands of a crazy soldier.This incident also shows that Israel is not that bad as Muslims portray.
After all they are prosecuting their own soldier that too for killing a Palestinian.

 

[The SC]

This captain's words and actions mirror Usraeli character.

For those trying to justify this murder, there never have been any child suicide bomber.

 

[Centrist]

Lets not pull the whole Israel/Palestinian or India/Pak generalization here.

I'm repulsed at the actions of the army captain to pump in 16 more rounds on a injured kid on the ground. Irrespective of nationality/religion, this is grossly inhumane.

Although Hamas may have used kids as suicide bombers, this should not be used as a justification for the actions of that person, by the account provided. I'm glad that the Israeli army is prosecuting the army captain and hope justice is served.

Shoot the kids, you'll get more terrorists. Every expert on this issue realized that a long time ago.
The way Israel is handling it, they're just creating a massive pool of reserve fighters.

Anyways, this is propaganda probably directed by Hamas. Hamas and the Israeli government in my eyes are partners. EVERY operation which has taken place has succeeded in wiping out thousands, but leaving Hamas behind. They've managed to rile up this conflict, make people bicker and take sides, and continue doing it. Both sides spoonfeed propaganda to their populace to continue their work after they've died. But we've remained dumb, ignorant sheeple. Taking sides is the WORST thing to do.

FYI, the article is 10 years old. Israel is doing shit these days. We don't need to pull an 10-year old article to show their brutality. It just makes our case weaker.

The important thing to notice is what punishment did "the commander" get for the obvious overkill and apparent killing of a child civilian.

The incident in question is 10 years old

Most of us equate Hamas to LeT...Indians now a days especially after 26/11 have taken a very sharp turn away from terrorism no matter how justified it is...

P.S: I am also Pro-Israeli and i also want Hamas to be eliminated completely but this article especially the chat log, if true, is sickening..to be in that young girls shoes scared and do not know what to do ..is unimaginable and should not happen to any one

 

[Malghani]

I hope this will differentiate the right and wrong. Open your damn eyes. What is the end game? To cast Gazans to the sea, where they will be met by the Israeli Navy? To push Gazans into Egypt? To eject all Palestinians to........ where? This is a question relevant not only to Israelis and Palestinians, but to the entire world.
