Israeli forces killed 200 Palestinians and injured almost 8,000 during almost two years of weekly Palestinian protests at the Israel-Gaza border. Israeli army snipers tell their stories…
An If Americans Knew video report by Chris Smiley on the Israeli killing and mutilation of an unarmed 27-year-old Palestinian man in Gaza on Feb. 23.
Alison Weir reports: The Post says there had been “weeks of relative quiet,” even though Israeli soldiers had shot over 100 Palestinian civilians, killing four of them; conducted 400+ invasions of the Palestinian Territories; abducted dozens of Palestinians; perpetrated air strikes on Gaza; shot at fishermen and farmers; demolished Palestinian homes; tortured a Palestinian mother; and shot a small boy in the eye… Are Post Editor Marty Baron and reporter Ruth Eglash too close to Israel to report the full, unfiltered news?
8-year-old Malek Issa is in critical condition. Israeli soldiers had invaded his village and one had shot Malek in the head while the boy was walking home… He is likely to lose one of his eyes, and is at risk of losing the other…
