why does a mentally disabled child throwing stones deserve to be shot from 150 metres away ? The stones couldn’t have even reached them? They can’t possibly be fearing him, he is by himself, they are tons of them and they have cars and guns. How is this justifiable to all these people going on and on supporting a country where these things go on. How is this a country the west considers a democratic ally? How do these values reflect the values of the west?

I understand the outrage of parents wanting the hostages back but Fouads parents will never ever have him back.

They also arrested Ahed Tamimi’s dad a couple of weeks ago and then raided her house and took her. She was the blonde kid who famously threatened to punch an IDF soldier and then when older slapped one, eventually tried by a military court while a minor. It’s only reading about her recently I discovered her mother and other family members were shot dead in front of her by the IDF.

I think in some cases the IDF are going in in order to target Palestinian fighters and their weapons caches (not much compared to Israel or even what Hamas has amassed). Sadly the IDF do not give the tiniest shit about who else may be killed in these missions.
In other cases they are just blatantly supporting West Bank settlers expropriating Palestinian land.

Well they are bombing various parts of the West Bank now, and as people keep saying theres no Hamas there. It’s just their moment ethically cleanse the area and repopulate with their over zealous trigger happy settlers.
