Violence escalation in Hebron

Israeli soldiers shot and killed an old Palestinian woman who was driving a car in Hebron. This seems to have provoked retaliation on various occasions.

MSF hospital bombed

lundi 9 novembre 2015 à 01:00

One day before the US bombed the MSF hospital in Kunduz, a US official asked if any Taliban were "holed up" there. The MSF said that the only Taliban there were disarmed patients being treated.

The MSF in Kunduz called their US army contact about the attack, but the attack continued for 45 more minutes.

MSF reminds the US that wounded patients in a hospital are not legitimate military targets.

Impunity of thugs

lundi 9 novembre 2015 à 01:00

The impunity of thugs in the US goes to absurd lengths: a thug who shot a tased man who was lying on the ground face down was acquitted because she said she was afraid of him.

Even if he had had pulled a gun, and shot, he was not likely to hit her under those circumstances.

Next time, a thug will say, "Yes, he was sitting on the ground with his hands in the air, but I was afraid he would think deadly thoughts and kill me with telepathy." And get acquitted.

US thugs kill so many people because they have been taught to kill whenever they see even a shadow of a shade of a threat. We have to change that training and that attitude. There are other countries that teach a different approach.
