It is a common story. One told before and one that will be unfortunately told again. Israeli occupation troops kills an innocent Palestinian youth for doing nothing more than protesting the occupation.

The child was Izzedin al-Jamal. Age 14. He was throwing stones against Israeli occupation troops in the occupied city of Hebron. Palestinians in Hebron routinely come under attack by the thuggish illegal settlers there. Under international law, as the occupying army the Israelis are supposed to protect Palestinians. Instead, they often join in the attacks and allow settlers free rein to engage in pogroms.

The Palestinians are protesting their occupation and the continued settler violence against them that is treated with impunity.

First aid workers said Izzedin was killed with a bullet to the chest. There are decent ways to deal with protesters, even those who turn violent. There are proper ways to achieve crowd control. Recently, riots rocked Greece with Greek anarchists throwing stones against Greek police and burning down shops. And, yet, the Greek police did not kill one protester over weeks of rioting. They know that police are not to shoot protesters.

Palestinians could not possible achieve the same degree of violence as Greek protesters did. They did not burn anything down and were some distance away from Israeli troops. And yet the vile thugs so-called humans called Israeli troops killed one of them for no reason. They just like killing Arabs. And one day they will get their comeuppance.
