Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian for throwing stones last week, but when settler youths threw stones at soldiers to prevent the evacuation of a settlement, they were treated with kid gloves. That Israeli-Jewish settlement outpost was evacuated without a shot; while scores of Palestinians are massacred on the border.
The Israeli army once again amazes: Razan al-Najjar the medic who was killed last Friday, was just a cynical “Hamas human shield.” This is a day after the army said it had killed the medic by accident. And it twists al-Najjar’s own words to attempt the pathetic defense.
An Israeli army begins a probe of the killing of Palestinian medic Razan al-Najjar and already rules that it was just an accident. “A small number of bullets were fired.” No shots “were deliberately or directly aimed towards her.” Believe that?
“I am an Islamophobe,” former Israeli government official Daniel Seaman confesses on I24 news. Seaman is considered a prominent and respected guest in Israeli mainstream media, despite his racist, bullying, bigoted conduct – or is it because of it?
Asaf Ronel of Haaretz said it is “unlikely” that Palestinian medic Razan al-Najjar was deliberately killed last Friday, although he confirms that deliberate targeting of medics with live ammunition occur. Having targeted her is a war-crime in itself, kill or no kill. On top of that, the possibility of a deliberate killing – murder – is completely relevant.

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak hints at his intentions to lead the country again – by offering the “shooting and crying” alternative to the merciless treatment of Palestinians in Gaza. “No one is happy with 60 people killed,” he said.
A Dutch song focusing on Israel’s human rights violations parodies “Toy,” the song by Israeli Netta Barzilai that won the 2018 Eurovision contest. The parody says that Israel is in it for the money; and the Israeli ambassador to the Netherlands has said that it crosses a line, in anti-semitic stereotype.
