Israeli soldier praised for shooting protesters in video footage

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) -- Palestinian activists on Wednesday released video footage purportedly filmed by Israeli soldiers at clashes in Ramallah during which they can apparently be heard congratulating one another on shooting Palestinians.
Palestinian protesters said they found the footage on a camera that was dropped by an Israeli soldier during clashes near Ramallah.
Palestinian activists later published the footage on Facebook, saying that it "refuted" the Israeli army's claim that Israeli forces only opened fire on Palestinians posing an imminent threat.
The footage includes several snippets of conversation between two people said to be Israeli soldiers, one a sniper and the other his commanding officer, as they discuss opening fire on Palestinian protesters.
In one early scene, the officer congratulates the sniper for shooting a Palestinian "in his butt." In other scenes, he repeatedly says: "Wow, very cool," after the sniper shoot and hits protesters.
"Come on, you are allowed to shoot," the officer urges the sniper, after which the sniper fires a shot and says: "I got him! I got him!"
In a later scene, the officer asks: "Did you hit him?" to which the sniper replies: "Of course I did, bro."
A final scene shows the men climbing into an Israeli military jeep, appearing to show the interior of the vehicle.
The authenticity of the video footage could not initially be confirmed. An Israeli army spokesperson said she was looking into the reports.
Both local and international rights groups have repeatedly criticized the Israeli army for its excessive use of force and for killing and wounding Palestinians who did not pose an imminent threat.
Thousands of Palestinian protesters have been wounded by Israeli forces since a wave of unrest swept the occupied Palestinian territory in October.

I wonder if you would have the same kind of reaction if Zuma posted snipers to shoot protesters in the legs and ass at the Zuma must fall protests.

Or will you be happy if he justifies it by saying the apartheid government and racist white did worse to our people?Because that's what you are doing,justifying these morons' stupid actions.

I have no doubt that is coming here soon.
 
Violent protesters deserve to be broken up yes, it happens all over the world. Some probably rubber bullets to the leg - well deserved for being violent. Protest all you like but start pelting people with rocks/missiles with slings and whatnot and you lose your right.

You are talking about violent protesters with intent to kill.....

In these cases they probably using suppressed .22 Rugers - generally non lethal, but **** happens.
I know they should be using marshmallow guns, but they ran out of marshmallows

Rubber bullets and tear gas yeah pretty much what most nations do sure, but not sniper rifles.
 
First guy that gets it.

Israeli1: He's hit! Hit!
Israeli2: But he isn't hit low!
Israeli1: He's hit in the arse!
Israeli2: Yeah?
Israeli1: Yeah! Bullseye in the arse!

Yes, Israel Is Executing Palestinians Without Trial


Gideon Levy Jan 17, 2016 5:18 AM

We should call it like it is: Israel executes people without trial nearly every day. Any other description is a lie. If there was once discussion here about the death penalty for terrorists, now they are executed even without trial (and without discussion). If once there was debate over the rules of engagement, today it’s clear: we shoot to kill – any suspicious Palestinian.
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan outlined the situation clearly when he said, “Every terrorist should know he will not survive the attack he is about to commit” – and almost every politician joined him in nauseating unison, from Yair Lapid on up. Never have so many licenses to kill been handed out here, nor has the finger been so itchy on the trigger.
In 2016, one doesn’t have to be Adolf Eichmann to be executed here – it’s enough to be a teenage Palestinian girl with scissors. The firing squads are active every day. Soldiers, police and civilians shoot those who stabbed Israelis, or tried to stab them or were suspected of doing so, and at those who run down Israelis in their cars or appear to have done so.
In most cases, there was no need to shoot – and certainly not to kill. In a good many of the cases, the shooters’ lives were not in danger. They shot people to death who were holding a knife or even scissors, or people who just put their hands in their pockets or lost control of their car.
They shot them to death indiscriminately – women, men, teenage girls, teenage boys. They shot them when they were standing, and even after they were no longer a threat. They shot to kill, to punish, to release their anger, and to take revenge. There is such contempt here that these incidents are barely covered in the media.
Last Saturday, soldiers at the Beka’ot checkpoint (called Hamra by the Palestinians) in the Jordan Valley killed businessman Said Abu al-Wafa, 35, a father of four, with 11 bullets. At the same time, they also killed Ali Abu Maryam, a 21-year-old farm laborer and student, with three bullets. The Israel Defense Forces did not explain the killing of the two men, except to say there was a suspicion that someone had drawn a knife. There are security cameras at the site, but the IDF has not released video footage of the incident.
Last month, other IDF soldiers killed Nashat Asfur, a father of three who worked at an Israeli chicken slaughterhouse. They shot him in his village, Sinjil, from 150 meters away, while he was walking home from a wedding. Earlier this month, Mahdia Hammad – a 40-year-old mother of four – was driving home through her village, Silwad. Border Police officers sprayed her car with dozens of bullets after they suspected she intended to run them over.
The soldiers didn’t even suspect cosmetology student Samah Abdallah, 18, of anything. Soldiers shot her father’s car “by mistake,” killing her; they had suspected a 16-year-old pedestrian, Alaa al-Hashash, of trying to stab them. They executed him as well, of course.
They also killed Ashrakat Qattanani, 16, who was holding a knife and running after an Israeli woman. First a settler ran her over with his car, and when she was lying injured on the ground, soldiers and settlers shot her at least four times. Execution – what else?
And when soldiers shot Lafi Awad, 20, in his back while he was fleeing after throwing stones, was that not an execution?
These are only a few of the cases I have documented over the past few weeks in Haaretz. The website of the human rights group B’Tselem has a list of 12 more cases of executions.
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström, one of the few ministers with a conscience left in the world, demanded that these killings be investigated. There is no demand more moral and just than this. It should have come from our own justice minister.
Israel responded with its usual howls. The prime minister said this was “outrageous, immoral and unjust.” And Benjamin Netanyahu understands those terms: That is exactly how to describe Israel’s campaign of criminal executions under his leadership.

"The Settlers": New Film Reveals History & Consequences of Israeli Settlements on Palestinian Land

As Israel faces international condemnation over its plan to build 153 new settlement homes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the watchdog group Peace Now reports Israel’s defense minister has approved the construction of the new Jewish-only homes last week. The plan sparked swift criticism from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who called the settlements "an affront to the Palestinian people and to the international community." In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Ban Ki-moon’s criticism gives "a tailwind to terrorism" and that the "U.N. lost its neutrality and moral force a long time ago." This comes as President Barack Obama spoke at the Israeli Embassy to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, saying, "We are all indeed Jews." We examine the history and consequences of decades of Israeli settlement construction on Palestinian lands in an interview with Shimon Dotan, the director of an extraordinary new film, "The Settlers," which just had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. "It is such a heated and often discussed topic, but I find that so little is known about it, and often the discussion is misinformed," Dotan says.

Lol, Palestinians are free to stab and mow over innocent Israeli civilians but Israelis are committing some awful crime by defending themselves against these terrorists.

When Israel made a serious attempt to recognise the Palestinian state as part of the Oslo peace talks the Palestinians repaid that good will by launching wave after wave of terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians. The Palestinians don't want peace, they wanted to kill as many Israelis as possible. Israel are not innocent but they are the better of the two sides.

In 2000 Israel offered the entire Gaza Strip, a Palestinian capital in a part of East Jerusalem, 73% of the West Bank (excluding eastern Jerusalem) raising to 90–94% after 10–25 years, and financial reparations for Palestinian refugees for peace. Arafat turned down the offer without making a counter-offer. The Palestinians turned down their own state opting instead for murdering Israeli civilians. There is absolutely no chance that the Palestinians ever negotiate with any form of good will in future.

Wasn't there a clause to the effect that the Israeli army would remain in the Palestinian state though?
