Palestinian Terrorists Shoot At and Hit Child

[Crazed Rabbit]

Specifically, they were shooting at a group of children, but only hit one child. Maybe because their aim is so lousy.

But what children? Those evil little zionist non-humans the Palestinians are taught to collectively hate? No, t'was those poor victims of the terrible Israelis, the Palestinians!

Yes, Palestinian terrorists fired at Palestinian children. Why? To enforce a teacher's strike in Palestine. Apparently those kids were getting to close to the school for the terrorist's liking.

(Note: it says 'fired into the air' but usually you don't hit kids in front of you in the gut when you shoot up)

The irony here, of course, is that had Israel done this and not even hit a kid, we would be hearing cries from round the world on how very evil Israel is, how their response was because they are sub-human homicidal animals. It would be international front page news. But when the Palestinians do it, we hear nothing.

Of course, there's no media bias - or bias in what people will allow the Palestinians to get away with.

EDIT: Also funny how people support the 'Palestinian Cause' when this is what the terrorists try to do all the time to Israel; kill as many innocents as possible.

I agree with you that this is deplorable, perhaps the more so because the child's parents appear to be so locked into the cycle of violence and its justification, they won't condemn the men who shot their child.

This is the root of the whole problem - both sides have easy recourse to unthinking violence, and populations/supporters that accept this as justifiable.

However, I believe dilute your point with your last edit: those of us who support the 'Palestinian cause' are not automatically supporters of terrorism nor adopt blind spots when idiots murder innocents. I for one, have always maintained that a viable Palestinian state will be much more likely if the militants abandoned the armed struggle and took up non-violent protest.

It is possible to support the establishment of a Palestinian state without endorsing terror, just as it is possible to support Israel's right to exist without endorsing indiscriminate violence against non-combatants.

I agree entirely,

and i also dont think palestinians are taught to collectively hate, it would just be natural in such a turbulant enviroment...

and usually when you shoot someone in front of you in the gut they get more than a slight wound, but as you are a resident expert on guns rabbit , you should know that what goes up must come down .

Seriously though , your post is just so funny it is almost unbelievable .

Damn , you will have to remind me as I must have slept through it , when was the last Israeli kid hit by a stray bullet fired by a Palestinian terrorist over an industrial dispute .
Anyhow I thought Fatah weren't the evil terrorists now , they are the acceptable face of the Palestinian authority that Israel could really do business with now that they don't run the government , it is the other crowd that run the government that are the evil terrorists and who you can't do business with . Well until the next elections anyway when whoever wins becomes the evil terrorists that you can't do business with
Did you mention a cycle there Banquo .

What article were you reading?

Stray fire hit a 12-year-old boy, Issam Ghannam, in the abdomen, witnesses said.

He was in stable condition after undergoing surgery, doctors said.

"He has passed the danger zone and is now resting in intensive care," said Dr. Khaled Qadiri, a doctor at Rafidya Hospital in Nablus.

He needed surgery and was, according to the Doctor, in the 'danger zone' for a while. How is that a slight wound? WTF are you talking about?

Damn , you will have to remind me as I must have slept through it , when was the last Israeli kid hit by a stray bullet fired by a Palestinian terrorist over an industrial dispute .

Where did I say the terrorists tried to shoot Israeli kids? You're making stuff up to fit your absurd claims.

The terrorists use belts of explosives, in case you just arrived from mars.

Again, you're throwing in a bunch of distorted stuff to try and make yourself look clever. And are you confusing Fatah with Abbas?

You're right, I probably did dilute my point. But why would the Palestinians need to protest anything? They've got land and a sort of governmental system. It's not Israel holding them back from becoming a state. It's themselves.

It is possible to support the establishment of a Palestinian state without endorsing terror, just as it is possible to support Israel's right to exist without endorsing indiscriminate violence against non-combatants.

Yes, but the Palestinian cause, as espoused by the Palestinians, is the destruction of Israel.

Meh if it was old Winnie Churchhill he would have used the army and machine guns on women and children to break a strike or to enforce it depending on which way his political fortunes blew on the day.

Yes I am being a tad hyperbolic and yes that was an understatement.

[Tribesman]

What article were you reading?

Well two Israeli ones , two palestinian ones , a Lebanese one , an arabian one and two British ones .

See above .

Yes, but the Palestinian cause, as espoused by the Palestinians, is the destruction of Israel.

Would you care to rephrase that , or should I just write " but the Israeli cause as espoused by the Israelis is the siezure of all land from the Nile to the Euphrates and the expusion of all non Jewish inhabitants" to give you a clue on where you are going wrong with your statement .

Gravity can't make a bullet fall fast enough to penetrate the skin.

Why, what's the terminal velocity of a bullet?

[Husar]

I agree with Banquo as well.

On your statement, I once saw a palestinian daddy on TV who showed his son how the Israelis destroyed some building(house or company, I forgot) of theirs to make his son hate them. It is, I hope, not what all Palestinian dads do with their kids, but I would call that teaching hate or breeding terrorists.

[Incongruous]

Group of Isreali Terrorists (that is with a capital T) shoot and kill thousands of children.

Put it into perspective?

[Sir Moody]

Israel is just as guilty - Israel deliberately allows it's residents to murder as many their own innocent children as possible via "abortion."

Both of these manners of killing are just as disgusting.

... nav what does this have to do with the palestines shooting a child? its not even vaguely related...

No, it doesn't. Even if one accepts your outrageous accusation against Israel for the sake of argument, you imply we shouldn't care about a few children getting shot if there are many more being killed elsewhere.

At what number of dead children does the perspective change?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Wisdom, once again.

Ultimately the answer is that both groups are exactly the same. In fact I bet the Palastiniancs are just the Isrealis that never left and got converted to Islam or Christianity.

If they were just two people I'd bang their heads together. I really don't see an actual solution that will work, though.

Your statement implies that all Palestinians are terrorists, which would include the child hit by the bullet since he was Palestinian as well. So why would one terrorist shooting another terrorist bother you?

I said that Palestinians support the destruction of Israel, not they all are strapping on bomb packs right now and planning to jump the fence.

Well two Israeli ones , two palestinian ones , a Lebanese one , an arabian one and two British ones .

Eight different articles, eh? You have waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much time on your hands. But in which of these did the doctor say that the wound was 'slight'?

Would you care to rephrase that , or should I just write " but the Israeli cause as espoused by the Israelis is the siezure of all land from the Nile to the Euphrates and the expusion of all non Jewish inhabitants" to give you a clue on where you are going wrong with your statement .

Really? A majority of Israelis believe that? They'd have to, if your statement was analogous to mine.

What does talking about Israel supposedly saying they can deal with Fatah have to do with anything?

Ok. So the kid, a Palestinian, who got shot supported the destruction of Israel. I still don't see why this upsets you if you support Israel yourself?

[Crazed Rabbit]

He was as child, and also was not personally trying to blow Israelis up.

"Not personally". So you are still implying that he at least supports the destruction of Israel even though he is too small to carry a bomb.

At what age does he stop being a child and become a shootable "I support the destruction of Israel because I'm a Palestinians" adult?
