    Just makes me wonder how many Palestinians they’ve murdered in similar circumstances, and we just didn’t hear about it because they weren’t Israelis, so it was treated as if it didn’t matter.

      I mean, the answer is loads. There was a hospital where they had to move all patients away from the outer rooms because the Israeli army were using snipers to pick off staff who came to attend to them. Uniformed doctors who were engaged in treating their patients were shot with no warning.

        Well - in a sense, yeah, but I was thinking specifically about Palestinians who were going out of their way to show that they were no threat only to be shot by trigger-happy ground troops, as opposed to, say, the ones who were just impersonally blown up.

        But yeah…

          They’re not trigger happy, nothing as innocent as that. To borrow the words of that one German author from the other day, Gaza is a ghetto and now the ghetto is being liquidated. This is fully intentional.
