15. So a civilian is shot and killed, and you blame him instead of the shooter
Edited on Fri Aug-15-03 02:49 AM by Feanorcurufinwe
"I think that the Palestinian civilians should be given guide lines on what to do when encountering a tank, or on approaching a road block or other military installation. Is the best thing to do to hide? Perhaps run away? While that may be instinct, the best thing to do is to just stay where you are.

Guidelines could help the civilians avoid conflict and injury."


Perhaps the military should have guidelines that say not to shoot unarmed civilians.

"Investigations into incidents such as this, my take several months."

Didn't you read the article?

A situation in which
IDF soldiers kill an innocent civilian and feel
that nothing happened that merits a report is
nothing short of appalling, and the
responsibility for it devolves on the Judge
Advocate General's Office, which decided from
the very outset of the intifada that it would
no longer investigate most of the acts of
killing in the territories.

Of the 2,235 Palestinians that have been killed
by the IDF, indictments against soldiers have
been handed down in only eight cases. No one
has yet been convicted.
