NSFL: Video of the shooting
This kid shot a firework at an armed fortification of an invading force.
It’s either that or he just shot fireworks in the air at the start of Ramadan nowhere close to hitting any soldiers.
It looks like he’s shooting it a giant wall with fencing on top of it. Likely the same giant wall with fencing on it where he got shot from.
The firework goes like 3 metres up in the air. The IDF must have been fearing for their lives from that hand launched mortar.
As you rightfully said, kid, they are not known to make the best decisions. That’s no reason to get murdered.
This was not an innocent act. Nobody - I mean nobody - sets off fireworks in a war zone for funsies.
“You’re not wrong, Walter, you’re just an asshole”
LMAOOOOO take my upvote
This is in the West Bank, ya ding dong.

“Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli, 12, holds a firework aloft moments before being shot by Israeli police.”
That’s clearly a life threatening nuclear ballistic missile that can flatten Tel Aviv six times over
Ah yes, the hand held rocket that flies from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.
Lighting that firework is 0.8 times the 9/11 !
They just love any excuse to shoot kids.
I hope it never happens to your kid. I’m not saying you’re a psychopath, but what you’re saying is complete shit

Tell me, what conflict is there in Jerusalem? This is not Gaza. It’s 100km away.
The only conflict that exist in Jerusalem is the apartheid state of Zionist Israel.
Wrong. Gaza is 80 km, or 49 miles from Jerusalem. Don’t make shit up.
The northern check point is 87km away from Jerusalem by car.
Fuck off. When the troubles where on in northern Ireland the Brits and the ruc weren’t shooting up prods when setting off fireworks and bonfires on the twelfth. But they targeted Catholics using whatever excuse they could think off. Israels doing the same shit, any excuse to kill people seen as less human.
You watch the video? He held it above his own head towards the sky.
I saw the video, he was firing fireworks towards what looked like a fenced border wall, likely manned with soldiers.
Should that fence and other shit be there? Probably not.
Should you be shooting fireworks at armed fortifications during an invasion? Definitely not.
That kid resisted the invasion with the tools he had, he fought and lost.

Am sorry for the loss of life
Given your participation on this thread, I doubt that.

Lmao talk about scratching a liberal
If you say so.
why does protesting, which is essentially just saying “I don’t like thing” justify immediate violent summary execution of a child? You can’t get any more twirly mustasche bad guy than that.
Course the fucking clown didn’t watch the video. Guy has no understanding of sectarian violence and apartheid at all.
Do you think it’s appropriate to run around with fireworks in the middle of an armed conflict?
Especially if it’s what you idealistic, online types say and it’s a “genocide” and an “apartheid state”, do you really see any other way this would end?
If a 12 year old child cannot play with fireworks, it’s an apartheid state.
I think you have to be 18 to buy fireworks in most places in the US…
It’s in the west bank not in Gaza. These IDF terrorists are there illegally to begin with.
Do you think it’s appropriate to be in medical facilities to treat your wounds in the middle of an armed conflict?
That gets people shot in Gaza now too.
As well as the West Bank
Why are you ok with anyone shooting kids?
Who said that? There is no room for a nuance discussion?
I didn’t watch the video, but based on the text it sure seems like the kid made choices that a reasonable person could think were incredibly risky given the circumstances.
Pointing that out does not mean that you think it was reasonable to shoot him; just that you think it is unsurprising.
This was in the west bank. Not Gaza. You should have watched the video. It would have been wrong still but more understandable for this to have happened in Gaza. Where Israel’s active terror campaign is currently in motion. But this was in the West Bank where Israel is still employing stochastic terrorist tactics.
This would be like saying it was understandable and excusable for police to come shoot and kill you on your doorstep for setting off a firework. Wherever you live.

Removed, ableist slur.
Slurs are welcome on lemmy as long as we’re talking about people that conservative Democrats want dead.

Nope. Used it in original context… that is of lacking intelligence.
Uh huh. Don’t insult me by expecting me to buy that shit.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
The Israeli government praised the sniper.

They also bombed a lot of people who were just sitting in an apartment.
Destiny says that this doesn’t count because it wasn’t ordered by the president of the United States
When did everyone one start mistaking not wanting to live under a right wing christo fascist regime as ‘support for the United States govenrment?’
Who the fuck cares what that schlub thinks anyway? Seriously, how the fuck did this guy get so goddamn big and well known? He’s a joke.
He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.
I didn’t think about him until he embarrassed himself in front of me and nkw it’s all i can think about im obsessed with it
What did he do to embarrass himself in front of you?
Destiny had a “debate” with Finkelstein a few days ago on Lex Friedman where he verbatim repeated every piece of debunked Hasbara available it was quite embarrassing to watch. Example:
When Finkelstein said that the IDF murdered four children on a beach Mr. Boneri said that was a lie and those children were inside a "Hamas compound. A simple Google shows Mr Canoli had no idea what he was talking about
Israel exonerates itself over Gaza beach killings of four children last year
An account of the investigation, posted late on Thursday by military spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner, said the strike had targeted a “compound” which had been known as belonging to Hamas’s Naval Police and Naval Force (including naval commandos)”.
But journalists who attended the scene in the immediate aftermath of the attack – including a reporter from the Guardian – saw a small and dilapidated fisherman’s hut containing a few tools where the children had been playing hide-and-seek.
The Israeli claims appear at odds in several details with what journalists were able to see at the time.
So the “The IDF investigated themselves and found they have done nothing wrong” is basically every argument for pro-israeli grifters.

Damn. Destiny recently said that he could finally start to read on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a result of getting medication for his ADHD. I wasn’t expecting that to turn him into an even bigger moron.
Vyvanse and Adderall don’t make you smarter. They make a train wreck
Plenty of people with ADHD take Adderall because it helps them function. Don’t universalize your experience with a specific drug designed to help a specific kind of brain, specially when there’s plenty of people with opposite experiences.
Not if he actually has ADHD… Dunno if you’ve ever met someone who is actually legitimately prescribed Adderall, but it doesn’t make them tweak out. It makes them able to concentrate more like a neurotypical person.
Destiny is just a train wreck because he’s an idiot.
How did the President of the United States get so big and well known?
I think notoriety comes with the job, idk.
expected coming from zionists of the apartheid Israeli government
I think it’s a military of conscripted amateurs
I would assume most people who join for the first time are amateurs. That’s what training is for.
How the hell are fireworks legal in Palestine? Like if they aren’t illegal that blows my mind, they are illegal in my country and we aren’t a war torn occupied territory. And if they were smuggled in, why?
This is the West Bank.
