I'm referring to this sentence in particular, "The demonstration reportedly began peacefully and then turned violent when Israeli forces clashed with Palestinian youth.". You must understand that this is a weasel Israeli way of explaining what happened. There was no "clash". There was an attack by Israeli forces on Palestinian youth, who had been peacefully demonstrating up to that point. It doesn't even make sense the way the description was sent to EI. How can there be a clash if a demonstration is peaceful? Clearly there was an attack and Palestinian youth, provoked, probably deliberately, responded.

It's so important not to use the words and terms the Israelis want us to. There are never "clashes" for example. There are attacks. Clashes do not occur between unarmed civilians in their own country and an occupying army as if both sides are equal. In the same way, we should never use that romantic sounding word "settler". The correct usage should be "Jewish colonist". "Settlements" should be referred to as what they actually are, "Jew only colonies".

I strongly suggest you incorporate this in your own articles and advise contributors to do the same.

"Neither child presented a direct and immediate threat to life at the time of the shooting"? DO THEY EVER? Can they ever? The Israelis are always armed so heavily as if they weren't up against harmless children. He was in the street! Is that a crime now? A threat? Even if he was throwing stones, a stone could never do any harm to those Israeli OFFENSE soldiers. If a child is angry at the day that marks 66 years of injustices it's completely natural and understandable to want to resist or fight for their rights but it's not like the stone thrown by an inexperienced and guileless teenager is a threat to a soldier that's covered and professionally trained and carries fatal weapons. These kids couldn't present a direct and immediate threat even if they tried. The fact that they can't even claim they were a threat to justify their unjustifiable actions because there's proof right here yet nothing is being done is so blood boiling. This makes me sick and I wish no child had to ever experience or hear about this but I'm a child and I did. They start a war when one of their soldiers is kidnapped. All this happening to innocence and victims and the world is silent? Also I'm pretty sure the number of children who died since 2000 and even this year were greater they're just hidden. I'm not sure of this though.

That is cold blooded murder.
Murder is a crime.
May Justice prevail.

isrial going rong why shoot muslim boys

Who would think they'd get aimed and shot at just because of walking in the street? I'm sure the kids didn't know how cruel those guys can be. Even if it was a demonstration, a bullet to the heart or back when they're just walking? They Israelis are not right or fair. God wanted the kids where they'd be safe and away from those cold blooded murderers. God help their families and friends.

If a child was shot in the back, how can this be self defense ?

I saw the video. This is just murder by a Zionist Army soldier who is a cold blooded killer. May God damn his soul in this life and the next. What is also upsetting is where is the condemnation from President Obama. It seems like he is ready to shed a boatload of tears when a Jewish person is killed in occupied Palestine. But when a Palestinian child, baby, woman, grandmother, sister is outright murdered by those Zionist forces- IDF, he is a quiet as a church mouse. What this shows is that the United States is not an honest broker in the Peace process. The Palestinian leadership has gotten nowhere in the last 25 years with signing these deals the US has brokered for peace. If the Palestine people don't move in a different direction soon they will be wiped off the face of the map. Another people the US helped to annihilate.
