Palestinian boy killed, two hurt by IDF fire near Gaza fence
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/385576.html

<snip>

"An 11-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead and two other youths were wounded by gunfire from Israel Defense Forces troops in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, Palestinian sources said.

The 12-year-old and the 16-year-old wounded in the incident were taken to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon for treatment.

Army Radio reported that one of the youths was in serious condition, while the other sustained moderate wounds."

<snip>

"Also Thursday, the IDF ended its raid into the southern Gaza refugee camp of Rafah without uncovering any tunnels used by residents to smuggle weapons from Egypt into the Strip, Army Radio reported.

The army destroyed between 15 to 30 homes during its raid, leaving some 400 people homeless, according to Rafah officials."

Lets see....

According to this article, during the last few days the IDF has killed an 11 year old boy hunting birds and a 31 year-old mother of two who was washing clothes and baking bread in her own backyard.

Further, the IDF has wounded a 12 year-old boy, a 13 year-old boy , a 14 year old boy (critically), a 16 year old boy, and the sister of the dead woman (no age given).

Additionally, while searching for smuggling tunnels (which they never found), the IDF destroyed 15 to 30 homes and left 400 people homeless.

All's quiet on the OT front.

1. But let's focus on trashing artwork in Sweden
Because that's the *real* source of the terrorist's inspiration and fuel.

Sigh.

2. Well, they got away with Nablus
Stands to reason they'll repeat this sort of punitive operation elsewhere.

3. you know ...
there is always this great focus and attention on Palestinian terrorists killing civilians, and the demands for it to end. Not that there is anything wrong with demanding an end to the atrocious acts which the militants engage in - but there is always this non-stop attention and hysteria over it. I am just wondering when people will start to focus on Israeli terrorism too, and make the same demands for ending their killings of Palestinian civilians?

It's like people are afraid to even speak out against Israeli terrorism, yet you hear about Palestinian terrorists all the time. So, whenever you hear criticisms of Israel, it's always a focus on settlement growth, or maybe the Apartheid Wall. But never do you hear discussion on Israeli aggression and their terrorist strikes on civilians, which is killing alot more people than suicide bombers have done.

5. Well I heard about Nablus from Gush-Shalom
Which forwarded a UN humanitarian report.

The fact hardly anybody takes any notice is of course because the U.S. press are cowards, and don't want to be subjected to slander and harassment from "pro-Israeli" apparachiks, so they don't report this sort of thing.

I assume if it made it to public knowledge, they'd be opposed to it FWIW.
