This time the victim is a 10 year old child protesting for his basic human right to live freely in his homeland.
extract from Guardian online
A 10-year-old Palestinian boy was killed by Israeli gunfire following clashes between troops and protesters demonstrating against the West Bank barrier yesterday.
The Israeli military said it would mount an investigation into the shooting of Ahmed Moussa, which comes just three weeks after an Israeli soldier was captured on video firing at close range a baton round at a Palestinian man who was blindfolded and cuffed.
The incidents occurred in the village of Ni'ilin, near Ramallah, where Palestinian and international protesters regularly rally to demonstrate against the barrier - which cuts the community off from its farmland and protects the Jewish settlements built illegally, according to international law, inside the West Bank.
I have heard nothing about this on the news today at all...I dunno maybe Sky isn't a great news channel but for 2 whole days now the couple killed whilst on honeymoon have been dominating the news. Yes, it is sad but what makes this case more important than a shooting of a 10 year old?? Wait - is it because they are British? Because they were newlyweds? Because they were young? The world's attitude seems to be - oh it's just another Palestinian child dead nothing new there, was bound to happen, he does live in the Middle East but oh no the great British are immune from being shot and the whole world should stand still if one of there's is kidnapped. People may not care what is happening to those who live thousands of miles away but remember this, when it comes to your own doorstep don't be surprised because what goes around comes around.
