Israeli soldiers attack
sitting Palestinian youths with sound bomb
An Israeli land rover pulls up besides 4 Palestinians sitting
quietly in the evening and out of the back is thrown a stun grenade. Gratuitous violence that would be called ‘terrorism’
if it was committed by a Palestinian. As
it was videoed, quite accidentally, the Israeli army has promised an
investigation.

I am willing to take bets that:
i.
There will be
no conviction, assuming there is
even a prosecution

No soldier will serve gaol time. Excuses include the grenade accidentally
rolling out of the back of the jeep.

Bear in mind that the explanation for why, in Operation
Protective Edge in Gaza in summer 2014, four little children playing hide and
seek were mowed down was that they were playing in a Hamas naval station. Hamas doesn’t have a navy station or a navy
for that matter. It was however, despite
the state of the art optical equipment that Israeli pilots have, a ‘tragic
accident’. Tragic it certainly was,
an accident it certainly wasn’t.

When the publicity dies down so will the desire to do
