Thank-you to RT for again bringing us news that our MSM either cannot or will not speak of. We had another thread with many false claims, so this thread is especially important as it clears up the many misconceptions and outright deflections from this horrid truth. Let's check it out and maybe together, we can end this madness. Here is what ACTUALLY happened: ...I went to the checkpoint to see where my aunt died, because I miss her, Owaisi explained. The Israeli soldiers spoke to me, but I couldn't understand them, so some Arab workers explained. They asked me to take my bag off my back and put it down. I removed my bag. I said I wanted to see where my aunt died. They asked for my aunt's name and I answered...then they opened fire on me. The two soldiers said, 'This one is a terrorist,' and ordered the others to open fire, she said. Owaisi went on to say that she constantly replays the incident in her mind. I have nightmares. I was terrified of [the soldiers], and I see them in my dreams. They shoot at me all the time. I hope the soldiers don't shoot at any more innocent children, she said. https://www.rt.com/news/360626-israeli-soldiers-palestinian-girl/ May your nightmares fade, sweetie. G-d bless.
When you write MSM I guess you mean American media? Why would they be running stories about this? More interesting is the reason for RT running all these anti-Israel stories. I wonder what that is about? And I wonder what your motive is for posting it?
The motive is the same as those who sent the child to get shot; to make Israel look bad. She went there to die. She ignored requests to stop and warning shots were fired before shooting her in the legs. She was following in her aunts footsteps. Her aunt was killed in a stabbing attack. No reasonable person would believe that a child came up with the story of wanting to see where her aunt died. What kind of parents would send their little girl to an area known for people getting killed while carrying out attacks. that would be like sending your kid with a toy gun to a liquor store that has been robbed several times. Very sad.
palestinians send their children to get shot by the IDF, all the time [video=youtube;JJXAwohdBZE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJXAwohdBZE&feature=youtu.be[/video]
Watching the video RT posted on their site, I understood why MSM wouldn't touch it. First the RT reporter claims that the girl didn't understand when the soldiers ordered her to stop because they spoke Hebrew. Then she said (the RT reporter claimed she said, we can't hear the girl properly) that one of the soldiers told the others "this one is a terrorist" and ordered them to open fire. Which begs the question: does the girl understand Hebrew, or doesn't she? When is she (or the RT reporter who does the voice over) lying? The Times of Israel holds the answer. The soldiers have been told not to shoot the girl. In a video of the incident posted by Ramallah News the words Dont shoot, no one shoot her (in Hebrew) can be clearly heard, right at the beginning. To make a short story shorter, RT is lying.
You weren't there. A girl with a bag refusing to stop is a very realistic threat in that area. They took every reasonable effort to spare her. If anything, this story only shows the restraint the Israeli soldiers used. Sending a child to sacrifice her life for the purpose of gaining sympathy is pure evil and fits the definition of a psychopath. How can anyone defend those that would send their own child to sacrifice herself for the purpose of negative media coverage against Israel? Very sad.
girl is lucky to be alive. just shows the humanity of the Israelis. they let this girl live even though she could have had a bomb
Something else that the parents would allow her to do this. Goes to show how little regard for life Palestinians have for their children.
It's backfired on the palestinians for sending a little girl to provoke the Israelis; what will we see next approaching a checkpoint, a palestinian baby crawling on all fours?
Yeah, on the other thread these guys were saying it was because they shot her in the knee and actually saved her life.
Good catch, her father said they shot her 5 times and just once would have been enough, shooting anything 5 times with a 5.56 mm caliber makes a mess out of everything let alone a 13 y old child, the video shows warning shots and one shot toward her legs and she drops.
But your headline and you link say 5 times, the girl says she approched to talk to the soldiers - they asked her her aunt name - then shot her and as she was down they shot her 4 more times, yet she is smiling in bed - IN HER HOUSE MIND YOU - with two medium bandages on her legs.
Thousands of ppl go in and out that gate every day but they shot a 13 y old for no reason as by fluk she stood in a place she was not supposed to be, saying she was shot 5 times but we see only one shot and we dont see marks of the other 4 bullets that were supposed to pierce her as she was lying on the road. do you have some theory that can explain it ?
She approached a checkpoint carrying a bag. She refused to stop. She and her family were aware of the danger of her actions from personal family experience. She grew up in the same family that sent one of their women to stab Israelis and was killed in the process. She was sent from a group that is known for caring more about making Israel look bad than caring for their own children. This was likely a strategic move to soften Israeli defenses so that they will hesitate when they send a little girl with real explosives.
"THE 'WRONG PLACE'" RE: Apparently, all of Historic Palestine is considered by Zionists to be a place where Palestinian children are “Israeli security forces 'killed 25 Palestinian children' in three months, UNICEF says” http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-15/25-palestinian-children-killed-in-3-months-unicef/7415256 EXCERPT “UNICEF cited the example on October 25 in Hebron in the West Bank of a 17-year-old girl who was "taken by IDF (Israel Defence Forces) soldiers for a search, shot with at least five bullets and killed". Israeli law allows Palestinian children from the age of 12 to be put on trial”CONTINUED
More off topic rambling by Grau. The subject was about the topic Sam introduced whereby the girl was at the border during wartime doing everything she was not supposed to be doing and was subsequently spared by the IDF rather than killed. If you wish to stray onto another topic, please find the appropriate thread or start one.
The topic is about Palestinian children being gunned down with impunity by illegal Zionist Occupiers & cowardly IDF Child Killers who prey on traumatized child survivors of the oldest, most ruthless & brutal foreign funded Occupation, not . Only an apologist for killing unarmed children would try to justify gunning down a 13 year old girl who is likely to be emotionally traumatized & nearly deafened from living in the ruins of an IDF shooting gallery. Re: Her only crime was existing on Criminally Occupied Palestinian Land coveted by the Genocidal miscreants you support. “Israeli security forces 'killed 25 Palestinian children' in three months, UNICEF says” http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-15/25-palestinian-children-killed-in-3-months-unicef/7415256 EXCERPT “UNICEF cited the example on October 25 in Hebron in the West Bank of a 17-year-old girl who was "taken by IDF (Israel Defence Forces) soldiers for a search, shot with at least five bullets and killed".

Strange, the OP states the girl was shot at a border crossing between Israel (a recognized UN member who is legally occupying land in the midst of a Palestinian declared war) and Palestine. I see you in your usual fashion have decided to take this rather narrow topic and expand it into your favorite subject - hatred of Jews in any way you can swing it using Holocaust Denial and white supremacist run antisemitic web sites. I don't recall that particular border crossing being anything but a target for Palestinian terrorists. Only an antisemitic Holocaust Denying gentleman would try to make the argument that running an international border in time of war is legal and a sane thing to do. But hey, that's just me. Well, as long as we are going waaaaaaaay off topic; ""At 2pm on a blazing hot afternoon, Anat Amar sat her four children down in a restaurant in the heart of the city for a holiday treat. "As soon as I cut into the pizza I heard a huge boom, and orange flames shot through the air," she said. It was a suicide bombing, an earth-shaking, nail-studded blast that killed at least 15 Israelis, and injured at least 90, in the deadliest attack on Jerusalem for five years."" Bomber strikes at Israeli border crossing A Palestinian mother of two carried out a suicide bombing at the main border crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing four Israelis and wounding seven people. A bit off topic but as long as it's ok with you I shall respond in kind - Six million were murdered circa 1937 - 45 yet they don't count worth a heap of beans to those who habitually use Holocaust Denial sites to try to propagate their hate on discussion boards so, obviously numbers mean squat so why even ask I wonder.
