'our free press' is horrified that the orange man spoke about shooting border crossing individuals in the legs to prevent their crossing, but says nothing about the zionists doing the same in great numbers on the gaza border. ten thousand or there about so far;

Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Americans were horrified to hear that that Trump wanted to have US forces at the US-Mexico border to charge migrants with bayonets or to shoot them in the legs. Michael D. Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis at the New York Times reported that Trump wanted US forces fire on migrants as they sought to come into the country, aiming for their legs so as to injure but not kill them. Trump has denied that he urged these courses of action, but the Washington Post was able to confirm the conversation with staffers (who objected that these steps would be illegal and who simply disregarded Trump’s instructions. Among those who pushed back was then Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who is said to have insisted that US troops not “interact” with the migrants in any way.)

The Jupiter-sized blind spot of US media, however, managed to report on all this with horror without mentioning that this procedure, of shooting people massing on the border in the legs has over the past 18 months become the routine Israeli policy, so routine that the deaths and injuries inflicted by Israeli army snipers on largely peaceful Gaza Palestinian protesters no longer make the news for the most part in the United States............https://www.juancole.com/2019/10/horrified-palestinian-protesters.html
