Israeli forces kill teenager in Jenin
Israeli forces kill teenager in Jenin

Israeli occupation troops have shot dead a 15-year-old Palestinian bystander in the West Bank town of Jenin while a four-year-old was seriously wounded in shooting at the Rafah refugee camp near Gaza.

The forces, backed by Israeli tanks and bulldozers, entered the Palestinian town of Jenin around midday on Wednesday and surrounded the home of an Islamic Jihad member, witnesses said.

Aljazeera correspondent in Jenin reported that Israel had besieged the eastern part of the town with more than 30 military vehicles and four bulldozers.

Seven Palestinians were injured during the incursion, some while trowing stones.

Yusuf Haseef, a 15-year-old bystander, was shot in the head by Israeli forces and taken to hospital in the nearby city of Nablus where he died, paramedics said.

In an another attack on Wednesday, a four-year-old Palestinian girl was seriously wounded by Israeli forces in the Rafah refugee camp in the south of the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said.

The girl, in a critical condition with serious head wounds was taken to Rafah hospital.

The sources said she was hit in shooting from a nearby Israeli military post while at home.

1. Oops, I Killed You, Again
The difference, the Western world tells us, between them and us Muslims is that when they kill, they do not really mean it. They raise themselves superior to us, professing their innocence when civilians die at their hands, declaring it to be a tragedy worth its price. And even as they grind out an apology at times, it is followed by either a ‘there was a terrorist among them’, ‘we are in difficult times’ or ‘if the terrorists had not attacked us on 9/11, none of this would have ever happened’.

-snip-

That is why they condemn a desperate man who straps explosives to his chest for killing soldiers occupying and destroying his nation; it is barbaric and evil. Does he not know the code of ethics for killing?

Step 1: identify a terrorist’s description, like the cops do; in today’s age, it would be ‘Asian-looking, suspicious, bearded, Muslim’; sorry, not the last bit.

Step 2: pinpoint his location; if he is alone, targeted assassination will do, and if not alone, it will still do.

Step 3: choose from an array of weapons and means of delivery according to the impact desired – F-16 fighter jet, Apache or a bunker buster? Remember, the only thing to focus on is ensuring the target is hit; all other collateral damage is insignificant.

-snip-

However, if a Muslim or a Muslim country happens to copy their antics, you will never hear the end of it. There will be a cycle of cries, vigils, demands, frowns, sanctions, diplomatic moves, condemnations, conferences that will keep on going on and on. That is because Muslims are terrorists and you want to know why? They do not say sorry after killing a person.

4. It's not "intentional"
The kid was Palestinian. The little girl is Palestinian. They are not Israeli. It's as simple as that.

Outrage? I can think of another word for the silence.

3. I hope he finds rest.
I hope he finds the same rest as does, Rachel Ben Abu, Nofar Horvitz, Yulia Weltshin, Anna Lifshitz and the other killed at Netyana. I hope 'crickets' don't chirp for him, like they did for them.

5. The crickets will go on chirping out their names
Wish the same could be said for the vast majority of Palestinian dead...in this case we at least have a name for the crickets to chirp to..Yusuf.
