israeli's brag about killing palestinians but i wonder how they'll respond when the roles are reversed;
The Israeli military is killing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank “like we haven’t killed since 1967,” including deliberately firing live ammunition at Palestinians trying to cross to Israel to find work and at Palestinian stone throwers, while refusing to do the same against Jewish settlers, Haaretz reported on 4 May.
The Israeli army’s top commander in the occupied West Bank, Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth recently bragged about killing such large numbers of Palestinians while speaking during a closed forum.
The general “expressed pride” that he had relaxed the rules of engagement for firing at Palestinians from the occupied West Bank trying to cross the massive barrier, or separation wall, to enter Israel in search of work.
Bluth said the current rules of engagement permit soldiers to shoot Palestinians at or below the knee, creating a deterrent effect which he calls a “barrier consciousness.”
“A plasterer in [the West Bank city of] Ramallah earns 1,500 shekels ($510) a month and a plasterer in [the Israeli town of] Ramle earns 7,000 shekels a month, so of course he’s willing to risk being shot in the knee or a week of detention, if he succeeded in crossing over and can work in a bakery,” Bluth explained............more..............
