Israeli police shoot international activist in the neck during weekly Nabi Saleh protest

From the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee:

Border Police Shoot French Woman in the Neck During Nabi Saleh Demo

The woman was hit in the back of her neck with a tear-gas projectile shot directly at her by a group of Border Police officers during the weekly demonstration in the village of Nabi Saleh yesterday. More that 20 were injured during the demonstration.

Despite a ridiculing statement by the IDF spokesperson that the injury was caused by a stone (see here), the above video clearly shows the the injury was caused by a tear-gas projectile shot directly at a group of very peaceful protesters by Israeli Border Police officers. On December 9th, 2011,Mustafa Tamimi from Nabi Saleh suffered fatal injuries after soldiers shoot him in the face with a tear-gas projectile. The practice of shooting tear-gas canisters directly at people, in fact using them as projectiles, is widespread among Israeli soldiers suppressing Palestinian demonstrations in the West Bank.

A Dutch man was also hit by a tear-gas projectile in the waist, and evacuated to the hospital with a suspected fracture.

The protest was attacked by the army well within the village shortly after it set out from the center of the village. The soldiers shot volleys of tear-gas and rubber-coated bullets at the march for no apparent reason. More than 20 injuries were recorded among the protesters throughout the day and two Palestinian journalists were detained.

The French government should investigate and demand the extradition of the guilty soldier, also demand reparations from the Israeli government.

How is the “investigation” going on? Have they allready found out, which soldier they’re going to promote?

Please look at this vid carefully.

At 0:38 one of these IDF cretins enters the view from the R and repeatedly fires at the people who are now at the top of the hill and are of no threat whatsoever. At 1:10 he dumps his empty shells, so we know he has unloaded what he had.

This is precisely where the problem is: these morons who represent the boots on the ground and the fingers on the triggers. They have the same mentality as the German soldiers during Krystallnacht, the purge of Warsaw, et al. atrocities. These are the same people who committed those atrocities, and I suspect history will view them in the same way 50 years from now, but they should be despised in the present tense.

Basically young men with no brains, their hatred of the “enemy” pumped up by their leaders and their hope for a promotion.
