The first quote can be hearsay. Despite that I am quite convinced that the douchebag just wanted to pull the trigger on the girl, I'm just not going to buy that portion that easily.
The latter though I'll admit that they had sufficient information to confirm that the kid was harmless.
As much as I do concur to the fact that the idiot deserves to be fired, I just couldn't help to question some details shared in the article. A "one-sided based" opinion just never works out for me, so my bad if I'm just starting to sound like an asshole here.
"The first quote can be hearsay."
Do you mean because it's about Palestinian suffering it's possibly not true and just "hearsay" and this event possibly didn't happen? It doesn't matter if it was a grown man that was shot like this.
If there was news that an israeli child, wait not even child, lets make it soldier, that was shot by a Palestinian on accident and only wounded... I'm sure the probability of it being false or just "hearsay" or "that's just one sided" would not even be considered.
Rather there would be rage towards that Palestinian and his whole race and religion. Now this officer brutally slaughtered a kid and you think it's fair to just fire him lol? He should be tried with murder man, not fired from his job.
This is not your problem Lal but a problem for a majority of the worlds people that are going by what they see in the media and supporting israel blindly.
I was playing the foil. Sorry, I thought my emote would have given you a clue.
There is a lot of media support for Israel, but at the same time - I watch Al Jezeera. I see both sides of this conflict, if only through their propaganda wings. A friend of mine just got back from Israel, but she went to the Palestinian sections (she's learning Arabic) and she said it just sucks. She said one day Israel just moved the fence. Like, they gave themselves 15 feet of Palestinian land and then posted armed guards to defend it. The border changes on whim.
Haha dam man. You really had me till the end. Then I was like wtf that can't be him lol. Thanks for that: "The border changes on whim."
It's true. Luckily this one had a fence. The border they make is invisible. Oh don't forgot illegal.
Well I'd just argue that the possibility of the child having a bomb in the bag not to be negative 2 million. Anything can happen including a terrorist group adopting kids from an orphanage and raising them to be martyrs. Kids are also being trafficked all the time. The world isn't perfect, and so on and so forth.
That's just media hyping up terrorists. It's not a perfect world but seriously. When you hear of a child you think dolls and play things and innocence. When you hear of a Palestinian child you think bomb strapped to him? There's something horribly wrong there.
The media used the word terrorists to describe really really bad people. Now Israel labels anyone that is their enemy as terrorist and then you think the worse about them when really they have nothing. The latest example of this is when Israel attacked the Turkish flotilla and killed people. Turkey pulled some of their economic ties with Israel and said Israel is turning into their enemy. Then Israel labeled Turkey a terrorist supporting country.

lol
Then it was all over the media talking about Turkey and terrorism.

haha wtf
