GAZA: Israeli soldier gave 74-year-old Palestinian woman water then shot her in the head

[Solomon2]

Yeah like e.g. Israelis who have a free ticket to perform any atrocities in the world?

Nobody should have anything like that: it's that Israelis are falsely accused all the time so that when charges fall through the demented don't conclude that the Jews were falsely accused but that Jews must have some special evil immunity.

Knowing that they don't have to fear any independent inquiry by any independent international institution such as ICC etc, because the West, so much in love with "human rights", etc won't allow it?

"Independent" doesn't mean impartial. There are special extra-legal clauses in the ICC Charter that are only applied to Israel. The U.S. withdrew from the ICC over a decade ago.

And knowing it doesn't matter, if huge majority of the countries in UNO general assembly would pass a resolution asking Israel to stop converting Gaza stip to a concentration camp, because USA would anyway block it by veto?

So the gang should be allowed to beat up on the little guy, just for fun?

Have some feelings dude, be human first for a while instead of being zionist first.

Prove you have any feeling for the Jews of Israel as human beings with equal rights to life, liberty, and property as Muslims. If you don't have them you can't wonder that you're accusing me of being a "zionist first" - and that the fault isn't in me, but in you.

74-year-old Palestinian woman Ghalya Abu-Rida being given water by Israeli troops, minutes before she was executed

During the Israeli bombardment and shelling of the Gaza Strip last summer, an Israeli soldier approached a 74-year-old Palestinian woman Ghalya Abu-Rida to give her a sip of water. He gave her the water, took a photo with her and then he shot her in the head from a distance of one metre. He then watched as she bled to death, the Palestine Information Centre reported.

This is how Ahmad Qdeh, a journalist in Al-Aqsa TV, described the scene that he witnessed during the latest Israeli aggression. The spokesman of the Israeli army, Avichay Adraee, shared the photo of an Israeli soldier holding the water bottle and helping the old woman drink as an example of the "humanity" of the Israeli army towards the civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The field executions were among the stories Qdeh reported during the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip. He said: "Ghalya Ahmad Abu-Rida lived in the Khuza'a area in the east of Khan Younis city. I live in that area too and I made a television report on her story after the Israeli soldiers executed her during the aggression."

"During the aggression, an Israeli soldier approached the old woman and took a photo for another soldier while giving her water. They then executed her by shooting her in the head from a distance of one metre and let her bleed until she died," he added.

Ghalya was born in 1941. She lived by herself in a room near her brothers' house in the Abu-Rida neighbourhood of Khuza'a. She had no children. Her neighbourhood was one of the first places invaded by the Israeli army during the aggression.

Field Execution
Majed Abu-Rida, Ghalya's nephew, confirmed to the media that his aunt was visually impaired and could hardly see. He said that the Israeli army had falsely claimed humanity while executing his aunt in cold blood.

Ghalya, with her weak body and white hair, refused to leave her house after the Israeli army ordered the residents of Khuza'a to evacuate. She thought her old age would protect her from being a target so she stayed in her home and refused to join the majority of the residents who left the area as the invasion began.

On 3 August, the Israeli forces announced a truce and allowed medical staff to reach the Khuza'a area. Ghalya was found dead after she bled to death as she was shot in the head near her house, Al-Aqsa TV confirmed to MEMO. Her brother confirmed that the photo shared by the Israeli army supported the family's belief that Ghalya was in the hands of the Israeli army. The family also believed that the area in which Ghalya appeared in the photo and in which she was found asserted that the Israeli forces killed her after taking the photo for the media.

Misinformation
Professor of media at the universities of Gaza, Ahmad Al-Farra, said: "The photo the Israeli army spokesman shared is misleading propaganda by the Israeli army to present a humane portrait of its soldiers. It can enhance the opportunity to pursue the Israeli army's soldiers as war criminals before the International Criminal Court."

"This photo proves the confusion of the Israeli army spokesman in defending his army. It proves that they killed civilians," he added.

He continued: "The Israeli occupation lies and misinforms in an attempt to affect international public opinion. It exploits the Arab media and Palestinian diplomacy in exposing the Israeli occupation's crimes." He demanded launching a large campaign to expose the Israeli lies and falsifications.

Al-Farra stressed the need for a media enlightenment campaign to go side by side with the field battles to correct the false image that Israel presents about its army and the resistance.

Israel carried out a 51-day war that claimed the lives of around 2,200 Palestinians and wounded around 11,000 others.

This is impossible. IDF will never do something this stupid.

In any case a shot from point blank range would have had a serious indentation on the face. The guys use 5.56 mm stuff. I suspect the unfortunate death of an old lady is being milked for political profit.

First thing, not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews. And my post is specifically tageting zionists.

Now I absolutely and completely agree with that red marked text in your post, which is the key point here..."equal rights" and add to that "equal liablities" as the other human beings. Nothing more and nothing less. Nothing of the "chosen people" B$ as all humans are equal! If you commit a crime, you must face the justice and should not be treated any differently than others by making you immune...

I strongly oppose political terrorist "zionists" and I oppose "anyone" who thinks he is superior to others by birth (no matter to which race or religion he/she belongs).
BTW. Big fan of Noam Chomsky and his work. Love all those great actors and beutiful actresses ( ), jews have given to the hollywood film industry. The list is very long...

No, you said "Israelis" and not all Israelis are Zionists. Not all Israelis are even Jewish.

Now I absolutely and completely agree with that red marked text in your post, which is the key point here..."equal rights" and add to that "equal liablities" as the other human beings. Nothing more and nothing less.

No, I do not accept that all peoples are equally good or equally bad. That is a form of race prejudice.

Someone who murders is better than someone who doesn't. A group of persons who murder or support murder can be called a people and another group of persons who don't murder or don't support murder can be called a people. The two groups are not morally equal.

If you commit a crime, you must face the justice and should not be treated any differently than others by making you immune...

When it comes to Israel and Zionists too many Muslims omit context or simply make things up. Because the truth is very painful, that Israelis as a whole and as a nation conduct themselves so much better, morally, than Muslims. That fact doesn't give any Israeli license to be a criminal; it just is.

I strongly oppose political terrorist "zionists" and I oppose "anyone" who thinks he is superior to others by birth (no matter to which race or religion he/she belongs).

People are good or bad through the choice of their deeds in context, not birth. Israel is good because it has chosen to behave that way. If you fake the context you can make "others" out as evil or good as you desire - that's what too much Pakistani history is about. Challenge it deeply, or question the decades-long Pakistani antagonism against Israel too much, and you're accused of being un-Pakistani according to the Constitution or some such rot and subjected to some sort of penalty. After so many decades only a few Pakistanis have been able to push aside this muck - and even they have trouble communicating their insights to their countrymen without falling afoul of the ideological gatekeepers.
