The Israeli military says it is investigating the killing of two Palestinians in the West Bank after soldiers were caught on camera shooting down the men at close range when they did not appear to pose a threat.

    Oh and before and scum try and defend Israel, this was in the West Bank not Gaza.

    Oh and if you want to do the “b-b-but they’re investigating it!”

    Israel rarely prosecutes such cases, and human rights groups say soldiers rarely receive serious punishments even if wrongdoing is found. In a high-profile case, an Israeli soldier was convicted of manslaughter and served a reduced nine-month sentence in jail after shooting a badly wounded Palestinian who was lying on the ground in 2016.

    And that is the West Bank, imagine in Gaza where they removed all the international journalists, killed the palestinian ones who can’t leave and then decided that the only other joirnalists they let in must get the IDF approoval of every written word before pubblishing. Major outlets included. At some point we’ll learn that the russians aren’t so bad in comparison.

      The Russians are cute compared to the IDF. Not making light of Ukrainians’ suffering, but the IDF is on a whole different level. A better comparison would be the Wehrmacht.
