BBC: Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death, video shows

[Gaugamela]

Last November, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy named Jad Jadallah was shot at close range by Israeli soldiers in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

As Jad lay collapsed in an alley, the soldiers created a cordon around him and blocked two Palestinian ambulances from reaching him.

According to video footage and eyewitness testimony, the soldiers – 14 in total – then stood around Jad casually for at least 45 minutes while he bled from one or more gunshot wounds.

All Israeli soldiers receive training in trauma treatment, and any Israeli combat unit should contain a specifically trained medic, but none of the soldiers appeared to give Jad life-saving medical aid. At points, they appeared to ignore repeated attempts from Jad to get their attention.

The IDF says the boy threw a rock, but video shows a soldier planting a rock near the wounded boy. There’s nothing new about this. IDF soldiers have been sniping Palestinian children for decades.

3. Sounds like a quote from The Rebel, one of the most humane manifestos I've ever read.

4. You can't be better...

...if you're actually the worst

Bibi, IDF, genocide in the name of zionism be damned

5. Many of the soldiers consider themselves as

exterminators and their victims are just vermin.

7. Awful

Even if the boy had thrown the rock (which I doubt) how does that justify murder? This is a straight up war crime.
