Another Red Herring from a F*ckin' Pr*ck

to F**k these pricks: You missed my point (probably intentionally) that simply a higher death toll does NOT prove who the main culprit was. You're turning this into a geo-political discussion of World War II shows that you can't challenge the many arguments I laid out for you.

As for your brilliant argument "If you imagine Israel has set Jews free from such people, you are a perfect fucking fool." why don't you ask the Israelis if they are happy the Zionists set up the State of Israel. Its really not my place to judge that. I am not Jewish or Israeli.

Then this gem: "The whole zionist movement is just a big pawn for them, another mass of people they manipulate by whipping up their bigotry because bigotry is custom-made for that."

BECKY: You want to dismantle the entire Jewish State of Israel--the only Jewish state in the world. That makes you look like a bigot to me. An anti-Jewish bigot.


BECKY: About the 13 yr old girl killed by the IDF "on her way to school" This is from an AP news story: "Soldiers fired at the girl, Iman al-Hams, as she approached a military observation post near the Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on October 5. The soldiers said they thought she was planting a bomb. The girl's family said she was on her way to school.

According to the five-count indictment, the officer approached the girl after she was shot and fired two rounds at her from close range in an outlawed practice known as "verifying the kill". He began walking away, turned around and shot her again, the indictment says.

The soldier's defence lawyer, Yoav Mali, said the girl was not innocent and had been there to "to take part in a terrorist attack".

BECKY: This incident just happened in October but there are already nearly 6,000 google hits almost all of them condemning the IDF.

But do we have all the facts?

First, she was in a forbidden zone clearly marked. Second, though she was on her way to school, she suddenly deviated from her route, and walked directly into a closed military area.
Third-the officer involved was exonerated because of the additional circumstances involved. The 13 yr old girl, who looked more like ten, walked directly towards the guard tower, ignoring warnings to leave, yelling angry things at the soldiers. This was only a day or two after two suicide bomb attacks so the soldiers were unusually jumpy. She then took her bookbag off and threw it in the direction of the officers. thats when she was shot.

What if cynical Palestinian militant groups talked her into being a suicide bomber? What if they told her to walk towards the tower and that the bomb was in her backpack?

They knew she would be shot and they could really publicize the "brutality" of the IDF "shooting a school girl on her way to school"
They knew in advance how ridiculous it would sound for the IDF to say that an unarmed schoolgirl walking to school was a lethal threat.

Hmmmmm. Thats exactly what they did do.

As for the soldier shooting her more than once. That is so brutal and shocking. But these soldiers encounter people wired with explosives every week. What would you do in the same situation?
