Israel’s cold-blooded killing of Palestinians continues unabated

[mudplanet]

Paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that 25-year-old Khaldoun Majid Al-Samoudi of the village of Yamoun, to the west of Jenin, died from his wounds after he was critically injured by Israeli soldiers manning the Bekaot checkpoint (Al-Hamra checkpoint), to the east of Nablus. They added that Al-Samoudi was shot numerous times.

Palestinian witness said that the Israeli soldiers fired at Al-Samoudi while he was crossing the checkpoint to his work in the city of Jericho.

Witnesses said Israeli soldiers watched Al-Samoudi bleed out instead of providing medical assistance.

1. Not so cold-blooded

And now for the other side of the story. So the soldiers did not just perversely shoot an innocent Palestinian just for the hell of it. Here are all the important bits you missed out.

the man was carrying a pipe bomb, an additional explosive device and a knife

2. That Hamas/PA lie about these incidents is one thing. To report such filthy slander/libel...

...as if it were fact is criminal.

3. The claim is not that IDF shot an innocent Palestinian

the claim is that IDF intentionally allowed him to bleed to death after shooting him

Palestinian Red Crescent medics said forces initially declared the area a closed military zone and ordered ambulances to stay 300 meters away.

An Israeli military spokesman said a man approached the checkpoint in a taxi, then got out of the vehicle and ran towards forces holding a suspicious object and shouting "Allah Akbar." He did not heed orders to stop and forces followed operational procedures and shot him, the army official said.

The spokesman said the man was carrying a pipe bomb, and that the area was declared a closed military zone while soldiers neutralized it.

Forces also found an explosive device and a knife on the man's body, he added.

When the man left the taxi, all the other passengers fled the scene, the spokesman said.

An eyewitness told Ma'an's correspondent that Sammoudi stepped out of a car and approached the checkpoint in a hurry. Some of the soldiers ran away while another soldier ordered Sammoudi to stop and then opened fire at him, the witness said.

He added that soldiers stripped the man of his clothes and left him to bleed to death.

just last week we saw a man who was shot and killed by IDF while carrying a can of coke turned into first a bottle of coke then a broken bottle then he supposedly charged at IDF with a broken bottle, all in the space of a few hours

one wonders when it will be 'discovered' that Jared Loughner was an 'avid' supporter of the Palestinian cause or some such I mean how can such a rich 'opportunity' be passed up, especially when the accusing finger is being pointed at Sarah Pallin an avid supporter of Israel ?

4. The Ma'an newslink is interesting...

even more interesting than the article are the comments at the bottom.

Anyone have any suggestions at all to solve the insolvable?
