Oday Maher Hamza Qadous, 19 years old, has been killed by settlers while farming his land in Iraq Burin. Army forces have taken over the village of Iraq Burin.
19 year old Oday Maher Hamza Qadous was shot to death this afternoon while farming his land in Iraq Burin near Nablus. Qadous was farming with his cousin, Omer Ahmed Qadous, on the west side of Iraq Burin when settlers from Barcha entered the farmland and shot Oday in the stomach. Omer Ahmed Qadous saw the entire event and reported that there was no confrontation with the settlers before the shooting. He said that settlers entered the farmland and began to shot. Qadous was evacuated from the area to a Nablus hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The army is now occupying the village of Iraq Burin but no clashes have been reported.
no, of course, settlers don’t shoot and kill with impunity.
Lynchings in the Jim Crow South rarely resulted in arrests; seldom produced prosecutions; and almost never convictions.
Let’s see whether Israel’s ‘judicial process … renowned across the world for its independence’ [direct quote from Israel's UK embassy; see Adam Horowitz's post above] will find and punish the perpetrators of this hate crime.
yes, it would be instructive to follow this ‘case’ to see what becomes of these brave settlers, shooting an unarmed teenager. despite the lack of precision inherent in historical analogies, comparison of israel to the ‘jim crow’ south is a pretty nice fit.
And stomach shooting, too. Not a kinder, gentler Zionism. Nosiree.
he had it coming, pm. he was an unarmed palestinian, and a farmer no less. that’s three strikes in my book.
They wouldn’t have done it if weren’t “necessary”, and I’m sure they “negotiated” with him first: “We want to shoot you in the stomach, so unless you agree to let us do that, we will shoot you in the stomach.”
The army is now occupying the village of Iraq Burin but no clashes have been reported.
If that bunch of murdering war criminals commonly known as the IDF really was the “most moral” army in the world, they would have occupied Barcha, gone door-to-door until they found the culprits and arrested them before demolishing their houses as is normal policy for the IDF when arresting terrorists. As it is that bunch of racist f&*(s occupied the victim’s village. They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves!
Another example of the disgraceful impunity that Israeli soldiers, settlers and others who harm Palestinians enjoy:
IDF Commander involved in shooting bound Palestinian gets little tap on the wrist, woe is he
