“Mother, father and brothers aged five and seven shot in the head as they returned from Ramadan shopping trip.

The attack on the Bani Odeh family brought the number of Palestinians killed to 11. Two brothers survived the shooting. Khaled, 11, the oldest of the siblings, said he had heard his mother crying and his father praying before they died.

After the gunfire stopped, Israeli border police dragged him out of the wreckage, taunted him about the murders of his family and attacked him. One of the Israelis said “we killed dogs”, he told Reuters.

The family had been in the nearby city of Nablus to buy clothes for the upcoming Eid festival, which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.”

Murdering kids every single day in cold blood and a few days ago the government acquitted soldiers who were literally caught on camera raping a prisoner.

Bad things happen to all sides in war. Both sides have behaved appalingly. I have no time for any of them I’m afraid. They will eventually wipe each other out with any luck.
What they are fighting for is a load of old cobblers.

Hopefully when the guilt and PTSD kicks in the murderers will find that the long term mental health consequences of cold blooded murder are not at all pleasant. There is already a big PTSD epidemic in Israel.

That's men for you, isn't it? Regardless of colour and creed, if you give them weapons and 'brotherhood', and dehumanise their 'enemies', they're all too keen to rape and kill innocent bystanders.

It's not a war in the West Bank. 3 million Palestinians are just trying to live ordinary lives there.

It's war whether you perceive yourself as fighting it or suffering it. People living in London and Köln during the WW2 bombings went about their lives while being in a war, didn't they?

Britain and Germany were both participants in a war. A fundamentally different situation.

And so living somewhere where you have war forced upon you (which, let's be honest, is the case for the vast majority of people caught up in any war), is justification for @FancyCatSlave attitude?

Personally I find that comment to be really callous, and you seem to be supporting it.
