Weeks after the fact, President Trump’s declaration that Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel continues to fuel massive protests, with thousands of Palestinians continuing to take to the streets on Fridays to condemn the declaration.
For the fourth straight week, protests erupted in force after Friday’s prayers, and for the fourth straight week the Israeli military responded by declaring them “rioters” and conducting a violent crackdown. Some 56 Palestinians were wounded.
And while there were protests across Palestinians, most of the casualties were on the Gaza Strip border, where even though the Palestinians were inside Gaza, and the Israeli troops were inside Israel, troops shot dozens of “instigators” in what they claimed was self defense.
The injuries, as with last week, were predominantly people hit with live ammunition, reflecting the Israeli military’s quick abandonment of non-lethal rounds at the protests in favor of just using standard bullets.
Does’t the USA have laws against their weaponry being used to kill protesters in the third world? Americans fund 30/40% of the Israeli defense budget you have to assume some of it is being used in the killing of these people.
With 56 Palestinians wounded and none killed the Israeli troops must have been targeting their feet if they were firing live rounds
When the tide turns against the Zionist menace, humanity will prevail. Israel is a coward state with no legitimate claims to any part of Palestine. Period
Ahh, ‘the most moral army in the world’ on display.
