Israeli army strapped wounded Palestinian to jeep

Err, maybe they wanted to get the hell out of there. Ridiculous to think the IDF are gonna hang around with the injured guy, like sitting ducks. Couldn't a palestinian have called for medical assistance?!

Did you mean to report me and posted here instead?

My intentions were to show that the IDF have been doing this for at least 20 years. The emblems on the truck are presumably to denote that this is an IDF truck, as the star of David is on the flag of Israel. Happy to help.

I am very concerned at the intentions of the poster's posting of this cartoon and its emblems on the jeep. Not to mention the incident on the thread happened on the WB.

The ignorance on this thread is astounding. Imagine if posters found out that for many years the practice of using Palestinians as human shields by the IDF was LEGAL.
It was only banned in 2005 after much international criticism, but human rights groups including those based on Israel have documented countless cases of this practice still taking place.

Yes, at least he was taken to hospital and treated and you may be sure that any infractions of code of conduct will be dealt with by the IDF.

If this was an Israeli in Gaza, his life expectancy would have been very much shorter or would have been taken as a hostage.

I do feel that this thread with just a photo and a caption of "just going to leave this here...." is inviting a pile on of the IDF.

I would also like to remind posters that Israel is spelt Israel and not Isreal and it is not a spell checker issue as the error in spelling is highlighted anyway on a browser. It seems as if there are deliberate misspellings to pronounce the word differently - for reasons best known to the numerous posters that do this.

Not a laugh
Maybe you should read up on how the practice of the IDF using the Palestinians as human shields has been ongoing for decades.
And for those who still haven't understood, this incident took place in the occupied west bank, not Gaza.

If the army raided a house in England and strapped an injured man onto a vehicle rather than getting him appropriate medical attention there would be rightful universal outrage.

The fact that this isn't the case when it happens to Palestinians suggests that the issue here is Islamaphobia or a hatred of Palestinians.

Human shields - pwahahaha you are having a laugh - Palestine is one big human shield for Hamas

Exactly.
It's astonishing that the IDF chief has openly condemned this behaviour, yet IDF supporters on here are still attempting to excuse, deflect, and minimise it.

Honestly I can't blame the Israeli's

They, unlike some, don't forget.

Exactly! Or they could have just let the Red Crescent ambulances take him. His name is Mujahed Azmi. His family called an ambulance already and were prevented from treating him. Instead he was abducted and used as a human shield. It's not the first time the IDF have done something like this and it won't be the last. The IDF have a habit of preventing Palestinians from receiving medical aid and they have a habit of using Palestinians as human shields. In this case, they did both at once.

Typo above, crested should be created.

That's interesting. I find on these boards that those who could be broadly referred to as pro-Palestinian often condemn Hamas and sympathise with Israeli casualties. I find it very unusual for those who could be broadly described as pro-Israeli to do the same. Have a look at my thread crested yesterday about over 40 people being killed in recent days in Shati and Tuffah for example.

I don't believe everything Hamas says and I don't believe everything the IDF says either because they're constantly lying so it would be quite stupid to believe them given their record.

No, it didn't take place in Gaza. I'm not sure why that is difficult to comprehend.

Err couldn't have just called an ambulance?

I'm certainly not defending the photos of the injured man of everything the IDF do.
What I am fed up with though is the complete selective outrage that people on MN seem to have. Going from the threads I am continually seeing on here I suspect that many posters on here are extremely naive, seem to believe every single thing Hamas say, that the Israeli's are not to be believed in any way and that quite frankly, if Hamas had their way and pushed the Israeli's out it wouldn't matter a damn to them.
I hope this horrendous war stops as soon as possible.

Err because they were taking him to hospital???

Eventually. After withholding medical attention initially and driving around with him strapped onto a vehicle for no reason whatsoever.

@Mellowdramadrama
It was and still is

@pandasorous

"I have no wish to engage with someone with 0 compassion."

They took him to hospital FFS - is that not compassion?

At least he wasn't thrown in the back of a pick up and spat on by ordinary Israeli civilian children.

Nice placement of the Star of David in that 'cartoon'

I saw this posted on twitter today. The cartoon is from twenty years ago.

People are actually defending this! This is a very disturbing thread.

You do know this didn't take place in Gaza?

It wasn't @Livelovebehappy's response to whom I was responding to.
