Israeli troops firing on crowd

[Timber Loftis]

The US abstained from the UN's censure on this one.

Another revalation. It seems ( according to israely newspapers and idf) that a armour-piercing shells were fired. One shell of that type cannot kill such many people. A possibility that this shell detonated palestinian land mines, arises.

One wonders why palestinians that knew about these landmines, went there in the first place.

Edit:

the news in english are apparently not ready yet. This information was published in the official radio station-"kol israel", as well as on the "walla" site.

IDF version is : the "demonstrators" wanted to cut off a small israely force that was undercover there. IDF asked PA to prevent this demonstration but it has not done anything. The little force that was undercover did an extremely important task, so it could not pull back.

The rest is more or less known. Of course the question what killed the palestinians still stands.


Provided that this version is a correct one, that will be an answer to your suggestion, skunk.

Moderators-notice that it is not useless thread necromancy, we have new developments in that case.


According to IDF it posess pictures of palestinians armed men firing at kids at this peaceful demonstration.

IMHO: It may be regarded as truthful or at the very least possible, since that "kid that hid behind the barrel wit hhis father" was also shot by palestinians, as the independant investigation found out.

Source-alas in the internet none. I could direct you to israely press, but it is unlikely that you will understand hebrew.
