    Default Why does the Western media ignore what is happening to the Palestinians?

    Palestinian teen 'executed' by IDF was unarmed, far from fence – witness & parents

    https://www.rt.com/news/424840-pales...d-idf-witness/

    The fact that a 15 year old Gaza boy was unarmed and rather far from a border fence didn't stop Israeli snipers from shooting him, a witness who filmed the act told RT, as grieving parents called the killing of their son an "execution."

    Mohammed Ayoub was shot dead by an Israeli sniper on Friday, as the heated protests along the heavily fortified Israeli border with Gaza went into their fourth week. The so-called 'March of Return' protest is being staged as a desperate Palestinian claim to their former homes, appropriated from them by Israel in 1948.

    According to the Gaza Health Ministry, thousands of protesters have so far been injured – and almost 40 killed – as the rules of engagement allow the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) to use live fire against any rioters they deem dangerous.

    The moment Ayoub was hit "with an explosive bullet in the head" was captured by a local cameraman, Abdul Hakim Abu Riyash, who told RT the teenager was nowhere near the frontline and rather "far away from the Israeli fence – about 200-300 meters."

    "He was not a threat to the Israeli army and he was not making any movement that can be considered as a threat," the cameraman said, emphasizing that the 15-year-old "was participating in the march like everyone else."

    The Palestinians are always "hard done by" and it's seemingly ALWAYS Israel (although Jordan kicked quite a few out which is rarely if ever brought up).


    The Palestinians can have terrible things happen to them, they can also keep poking the fucking bear that is Israel so on one hand I can feel bad for them and on the other I can say "play stupid games, win stupid prizes"

    Another Palestinian journalist dies after being shot by IDF

    https://www.rt.com/news/425116-pales...st-killed-idf/

    A second Palestinian journalist has died after being shot by an Israeli sniper while covering the ‘March of Return.’ Ahmed Abou Hussein succumbed to his injuries Wednesday after being shot on April 13.

    The photojournalist, 25, was reportedly hit in the stomach during the third week of the protest. Israel’s 1-24 News, citing the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate, reported that he was one of a number of journalists wounded that week. Hussein’s death was confirmed by the Gaza Health Ministry on social media.

    This is where I have to disagree with you, Lyle. Israel continues to build ILLEGAL settlements on land that is not their own and your nation in particular blocks any attempt to do anything about it. For some odd reason your country provides billions a year to the Israeli's, blocks any attempt to resolve a dispute at the UN, and your media turns a blind eye to flagrant aggression against people who are basically armed with twigs.

    There is a very simple way to resolve this problem and that is to stop funding Israel, to actually back international law, and to respect that the Palestinians have rights in lands that are internationally recognised as their own.

    Hamas and these groups that refuse to negotiate or recognize Israel are a major roadblock but fact remains Israel makes it difficult for the regulars to live while Israel always yells about persecution

    Hamas accepts the 1967 borders which are the most recognized parameters. It's everyone else with the problem in that regard.
