Palestinian health ministry identifies suspect in shooting attack as Mohannad al-Mazraa, 20, from a nearby West Bank town.
The colonists had invaded and illegally occupied territory. Their presence is contrary to the 4th Geneva Convention. And as such, constitutes yet another in the list of #israeli #warcrimes.
You’re right. And a territory ownership dispute totally justifies shooting and trying to kill unarmed civilians. Be better. Also, phrase better. A Palestinian shot six people. An off duty officer shot back and killed him.
You lose the “unarmed civilian” card when you are the colonist of an apartheid state. When you invade others lands, they tend to fight back.
Like all things, it’s complicated. It’s not that they invaded an existing city, deported everyone and colonised it.
This area is a no-man’s land, technically not owned by any country. The area that they built the settlement was uninhabited before they came along. Is it ok? I agree, no, they have no business being there.
But do you really believe that they deserve a death penalty for it?
I don’t have sympathy, as their actions continue to escalate an already volatile situation. You also have to take into account the actions of the IDF on the civilian Palestinian population. You add the two together and this is the result you get. They know what they are doing is wrong and the risks they are taking by being there.
Man I wish I could see how you would behave if someone invaded your land and stole it and when you try to defend yourself some schmuck comments “did they have to resort to violence” ?
By that logic, you’ll be ok with native Americans or Australian Indigenous People pick up guns and knives and start shooting and stabbing random people in the streets?
