Was this the killing of the 12 year old boy something that israel should regret?

Question

Remember Mohammed Al-Durra, the 12 year old boy who died while in the arms of his father who was trying to protect him, and then all of a sudden Israeli forces shot bullets at them killing the boy but wounding the father? It was taped and the news showed it. the link of the picture is http://www.sherlock-holmes.co.uk/library/images1/palestinian_boy.jpg Do you guys think it was fair for the Israelis to do such a thing?? You guys think Israeli were terrorists at that point??

Answer 1

i read some people from sweden were escorting palestinian kids to school and some settlers were there. they ( settlers )started spitting and punching, and yelling " we killed Jesus (pbuh) and we will kill you too! " people should not kill each other, people should not steal land or occupy one another. perhaps if the occupation ended so would the resistance

Answer 2

Well, it is questionable that Israel should regret something that it was likely not responsible for.

I will only say one thing: People like you totally ignore context. The context of the situation was that there was a firefight between Palestinian gunmen and Israeli soldiers. With that situation, anyone caught in the crossfire runs the risk of being shot and killed.
And the reason WHY you ignore this is plain as day. Because you don't actually CARE about truth. All you see is a dead boy and use that to bash Israel.

The truth of the matter is the following: Subsequent reviews of the footage (which was heavliy edited when initally aired) showed that there was no physical way that the Israelis could of hit them from their position. Thus, it was probably the Palestinians who hit him.
There is even speculation that he is not even dead but as far as I've seen this is not confirmed.

But let us suppose that Israeli bullets did hit him. No one but a fool would think that it was intentional.

this is a pretty loaded question from all angles. it is as if you re-load a gun and shoot at random. only in your case it is via a question. and that is not fair and not valuable to the discussion of the middle east. true to the last drop --killing innocent and killing children is not acceptable to any party in the conflict be it m.east or Africa or Alaska. children are children are children. they have a life to live on. re. that specific incident you relate to in a slanted version -- that has been contradicted and discussed
with many versions to it. whatever the truth is -- the incident made head lines and no one knows the real truth. if there were mistakes sure enough Israel would apologize but to hammer a situation still unknown and link it to a slanted web page is not the way to deliver a peace message. hope it helps.

The IDF always kills children if they have reason to believe the children are strapped with bombs.

So what's more perverted? Strapping kids with bombs, or issuing a policy to shoot suspected kids on-sight?

Israel does this sort of thing all the time, only the US news agencies never report it (or rarely) Go to BBC, The Guardian or any other European news agency and you'll see it time and again.

I'm always astonished people can vilify one side and praise the other in this bloody atrocity over there. There is no moral justification for suicide bombing---none. However, at the same time Israel is not somehow better because they strap their bombs to jets and drop them from the air. And I'm sorry, you drop a 500 pound bomb into a Palestinian neighborhood "to get a terrorist" you know damn well you're also going to kill many civilians.

Think---how would we react if Canada and the US were at war, and Canada bombed a civilian neighborhood in Chicago and killed 37 people, because they believed a terrorist lived there.

You remember the incident a little vaguely. The son and father were caught in a shoot-out between the IDF and palestinian militants. Investigations showed that they were actually hit by palestinian bullets. But yes, Israel should regret the loss of any life, no matter how neccessary or unneccessary.

Answer 6

lol, no. Just because you aren't as stacked as your sister doesn't mean that you resemble a guy. You don't. There are plenty of ultra-feminine females that have a small bust. Countless models and actresses are small busted. Actually the former pretty much has a requirement for one...Anyway, my favorite small-busted actress is Natalie Portman. Graceful, intelligent, charming, beautiful AND ultra-feminine ;)

Answer 7

I don´t even want to see it but I will have to. And I can say it is among the millions of tragedies that has happened in the ´safety´ of a zionist soldier. Disgusting what people can get away with during the ´war on terrorism´.

Answer 8

When a child dies there is nothing more painful !!! This was a tragedy !!! So sad :O( Is it true that these Terrorist Cowards shoot at Israelis and then take cover around innocent people? These people will have to answer to Jehovah God for their actions and for this child's life. Man has dominated man to his injury. Jehovah God is our only hope !!!

Answer 9

thanks ashraf for bringing that up.
zionists should regret the very first step they made on the divine lands ever since 1948!!
they have been terrorists from that very year stranding millions of palestinians.
if they were really on the right as they quite believe and smart as most 'countries' think they are, why haven't they claimed palestine theirs and put an end to it rather than struggling all those years without any fruitfull acheivement....
believe me...the very thought of them makes me sick!!

Answer 10

It's as fair as some suicide bomber blowing up innocent people. What irks me is that Arabs act all butt-hurt when they get the same treatment in return.
