Israeli officer indicted in girl's shooting

[ConantheBarbarian]

An Israeli military court has indicted an army officer accused by his own soldiers of emptying his weapon into a Palestinian schoolgirl who was already dead.

Israel trial over slain Gaza girl

Hope he gets what he deserves.

If it was the other way around I'm sure there would be a parade in his honor.

I read that all charges were dropped a month or two ago. Maybe not. I hope he gets it.

What's going on in that 2nd pic?

 

[earthman]

When are we going to stop giving money to these people?

She was probably just faking being dead and had a grenade behind her back. I think I read where that army officer had been shot in the face the day before, also. Where's the petition?

This incident should be Exhibit A in any discussion about the importance of peace. Who do we blame? The officer?

I know Moonbeam will take some of the blame, but will the rest of us?

it's because of that reason that we are righteous, not because "god is on our side"

She had explosives anyways. What's wrong with being pissed off and shooting the corpse of an enemy terrorist (not even combatant) who was going to blow you to smithereens?

related, this is expecialy shocking

On Sunday, IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon also bitterly criticized the program for the report shown several weeks ago, which he labelled "deceitful and shocking."

The tapes of the soldiers' communications at the time of the incident indicate that one of the troops identified Al-hamas by saying: "It's a little girl. She's running right now, heading east."

After the first shots, another soldier said: "She's behind the ditch and nearby pile of dirt, half a meter away. Scared to death. The [bullets] hit right near her, centimeters away."

At a later stage, the commander reported to his base: "This is the situation: We fired shots and killed her. [She's] dressed in jeans and a tank top. She also had a kaffiyeh [Muslim head covering] on her head. I also confirmed the kill."

He's an israeli soldier, I doubt he'd even get a slap on the wrist.

 

[beyoku]

It is not the first time, and it won't be the last.

If Israel has some guts this/these men will be charged with crimes against humanity and sentenced to death.

Taejin, explain yourself.

Taejin, explain yourself.

Taejin can't because Taejin is not an intellectually honest person.

From the second link:

The girl's family said she was on her way to school when she was shot. Her bag contained only school books.
