Israeli Military Shoot Gaza Farmer - 18th February 2009

Israeli forces shot a twenty year-old Palestinian farmer as he worked his land in the village of Al-Faraheen, east of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.

International Human Rights Activists were accompanying the group of farmers at the time as they worked approximately 500m from the Green Line.

Mohammad al - Breem, 20, was shot in the right leg as the farmers, together with the international Human Rights Activists, attempted to leave the area having worked on their land for 2 hours in full view of the Israeli forces situated along the Green Line.

As the farmers were loading up the parsley and spinach from the agricultural lands shots were fired from Israeli forces on the border. Mohammad was shot in the right leg and evacuated, while still under fire, to hospital.

International Human Rights Activists have repeatedly witnessed Palestinian farmers being shot at by Israeli forces as they attempt to work on agricultural land situated within 700m of the Green Line.

On Tuesday 27th January 2009, in Al Faraheen, Israeli forces shot at several farmers, killing a 27 year old farmer.

1. That is seriously stupid

If they are going to take shoot Palestinians, at the very least make sure someone isn't filming it- let alone human rights activists...

I will withhold my judgment until CAMERA tells me this is staged and/or fake :sarcasm:

8. I'd say incredibly arrogant

Israel clearly believes that no matter what they do our government will not cut them off.

Unfortunately, our government has not given them any reason to believe otherwise.

:grr:

2. A few of our Pro-Israeli people just came

And are sure to be here any moment now to praise Israel's "restraint" in not bombing the fuck out of the "arabushim" and "terrorist supporter" human rights activists

3. Please don't argue in this thread. I don't want it to be locked for heated argument. Thanks! n/t

4. I've about had it with Israel

All because some 2000 year old book told them """god""" said to live there? Sigh.. Not trying to start an argument or get the thread locked or anything, but if anyone took a look at the horribly disproportionate response when Israel attacked in Gaza recently you'd be sickened by it as well. I'd say more but I don't want the thread getting locked so I'll leave it at that. For now. :mad: :grr:

5. Actually, it's older.

If ever there was cause to cut off all aid to Israel, it's the monstrous way their military behaves.

This is absolutely disgusting. No one can justify this.
