Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Its not just in Gaza but throughout occupied Palestine that the violence against the indigenous people continues.
Under police protection gangs of immigrant settlers parade throught the old Streets of Jerusalem threatenting to carry out pogroms against the Arabs who have lived there for centuries.
" The settlers chanted “death to Arabs” and other racists slogans while marching in Arab markets and the alleys of the Old City. "
When international attention focuses on Gaza they switch activities to the Other areas of the occupation and ethnic cleansing :
" The settlers were marching in the city and chanting slogans against Arabs and Palestinians, calling for expelling them from the Holy City. "

In our collective memory, the terrorists' joy on the day of their release would be nothing compared to the excitement of the moment when we see Gilad getting out of the abductors' vehicle and running into his mother's arms. For a moment like that, any price is worthwhile. "

Israeli army spokesperson confirms that crowd dispersal methods include shooting children in the head with live ammunition. No farther explanation seems to be required for this action.
The IDF spokesman this week: "During an activity held by an IDF force in the village of Beit Omar, a violent disturbance developed, in which dozens of Palestinian youths stoned the force. The force retaliated with crowd dispersal measures and identified a hit of one of the stone throwers..."
