An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military court yesterday.

Israel always gets away with their crimes; whenever the UN tries to do something the USA vetoes it

edit: wow this is 5 years ago and i never even heard about it

This makes my blood boil: Quote: |
The army's official account said that Iman was shot for crossing into a security zone carrying her schoolbag which soldiers feared might contain a bomb.
| This is an area of the world where kids are used as suicide bombs. Ask any Canadian soldier that has been deployed to Afganistan, one of the hardest things coming back is learning that kids are just kids. They are taught on base to not interact with any of the kids that come up the the fence, cause they might blow up.
I don't blame the soldier as much as I blame that entire area of the world for allowing such atrocities.

the girl dropped her bag and the solider fired at the bag to make sure there were no explosive, then he decides to shoot the girl while she tried to run away from the post. Quote: |
In the recording, a soldier in a watchtower radioed a colleague in the army post's operations room and describes Iman as "a little girl" who was "scared to death". After soldiers first opened fire, she dropped her schoolbag which was then hit by several bullets establishing that it did not contain explosive. At that point she was no longer carrying the bag and, the tape revealed, was heading away from the army post when she was shot.

I can see your point if the child kept on approaching them and ignore their warning. But obviously that's not what happened here. A child running away from you CANNOT hurt you. He didn't do it out of fear for his own safety.
