An Israeli army officer who repeatedly shot a 13-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza dismissed a warning from another soldier that she was a child by saying he would have killed her even if she was three years old.


But the tape recording of the radio conversation between soldiers at the scene reveals that, from the beginning, she was identified as a child and at no point was a bomb spoken about nor was she described as a threat. Iman was also at least 100 yards from any soldier.

1. But a doctor in Belgium refused to see a Jewish patient because of Gaza!

Let's keep things in perspective.

4. Let's quit doing what they do in the Mideast, and look for ways to demonize whole peoples

Try to keep your "perspective" a little nobler than that, eh?

5. He was being sarcastic.

The pro-Israel manure spreaders seized on the Belgian doctor refusing to treat a Jew as a justification for killing babies in Gaza.

6. Can you directly link to using the Belgian incident as justification for killing babies?

The fog of war around here is getting... foggier....

7. You'll have to look through the pro-israel threads.

2. Horrible and evil

3. The attack on Gaza is real world evil, the excuses are as evil as this act of cold blooded murder.

But the world focus is in one Israeli soldier, still alive, because that is how racism and evil works, to devalue the lives of "the Others", to devalue the lives of hundreds of dead children and then she'd crocodile tears for a soldier whose job is to kill.

I am disgusted by the cheerleaders of this evil.
