Once Again, Israel Gets Away with Murder in Jenin!

By Mahoud El-Yousseph

Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, September 2, 2013

"Under routine pretext of 'terrorist' activity, Israel's army invaded Jenin refugee camp at 3 AM on August 20, 2013.  Palestinian civilians' improvised attempts to ward the strongest army in the Middle East off, ended with the death of young father, Majd Lahlouh (22), who was shot directly in the heart by Israeli soldiers."
 
The aforementioned Facebook status alert by Israeli peace activist Tali Shapiro was posted  just hours after the tragic event. Miss Shapiro is a strident critic of her government policies toward Palestinians and she is an advocate of boycotts, divestments, and sanctions (BDS) as a mean to bring justice and lasting peace in Palestine.  
 
According to witnesses, two other Palestinians, Kareem Abu Subaih and Alaa Abu Khalifa, both 17 years old, were wounded by a live bullet to the side and Hadi Lahlouh, 23, was wounded by a rubber-coated metal bullet to the chest. Once again, Israel gets away with murder! 
 
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) will continue killing Palestinians and maiming them for life with immunity to international condemnation of its crimes and its continued illegal and immoral occupation of Palestine.
 
Israel will stop its crimes against Palestinians when U.S. Congress ends showering Israel with billions of dollars and remains silent about its atrocities.
 
Israel will siege to treat Palestinians as animals when Western media stops being fake and bias when it comes to Israeli violence and starts being fair and objective in its coverage. 
 
Israel will end its iron fist policy and repressive measures toward Palestinians when the Jewish lobby worships God more than it worships Israel.
