One of the most notorious Israeli criminals of recent times has to be Elor Azaria. In 2016, the Israeli soldier murdered a wounded Palestinian youth
as the young man lay badly wounded and bleeding on the ground in
Hebron. Abd Al-Fattah Yusri Al-Sharif had already been shot after being
accused of trying to attack another soldier manning a checkpoint.
Hebron is a Palestinian city in the West
Bank, occupied illegally by Israel. A large section of the city has a
heavier Israeli military presence than the rest, due to its takeover by a
group of the most extreme Zionist settlers.
These religious fanatics frequently abuse,
spit on and attack Palestinians simply for being Arabs in what they
claim is a “Jewish city”. The Hebron settlers are in the process of
attempting to take it over completely, home by home. What’s more, they
are guarded and aided by the Israeli army.
Palestinian families are usually evicted
unceremoniously. If they attempt to resist in even the most peaceful
way, Israeli soldiers put them down and often kill them with total
impunity.
In such an intolerable situation, it is no
wonder that some individual Palestinian youths have taken it upon
themselves to fight back against the brutal, racist military occupation.
The right to armed resistance to occupation and colonialism is
enshrined in international law, UN resolutions and simple morality.
Fighting back, therefore, is totally legitimate.
