Israel murders 9 year old
Over the weekend, a 9 year old Palestinian girl got lost and wandered into the demilitarised zone near the Israeli border. It was dark and she was apparenlty trying to find her way home.
She was shot 4 times by an Israeli sniper. The first shot ripped open her stomach.
Israel's official response was that the sniper was in the clear, because he operated within military guidelines. They claim they saw a figure approaching the Israeli line, carrying a large backpack. The figure kneeled down, and they though they were planting explosives.
According to people who found the body -there was no bag. Moreover, the girl was 9 years old and only just over 4ft. How you can mistake that for a terrorist, particularly through a hi-tech sniper scope is beyond me.
I heard the parents interviewed on the radio this morning, and thankfully, they seem like level headed people. Even though they suffered such a terrible loss, they didn't seem to be calling for violent vengeance.
I wouldn't blame them if they did. With incidents like these, why do the Israeli's think they are so hated in their region? Do they think they can quell extremism by shooting little girls? Sometimes, i think the Israeli's and the Terrorist deserve each other.
