A 16-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin this week was shot dead by an Israeli sniper as she looked out of the window of her home, her father said on Wednesday.

There aren't really words for how upsetting this is

I find I often have to stop for a moment and imagine her life up until the sniper shot. Like, you and I have ONE life, and it's EVERYTHING, and this girl's went dark for the remainder of the universe.

There are, but you can’t say them on .world.

Ironic, considering they whine and moan about being “censored” from posting debunked CIA conspiracy theories on leftist instances.

Bro, your literal entire comment history is attacking people for not sharing your political compass alignment. Get offline. Do something that makes you happy. That shit ain't good for your head, and you can't fight the good fight when you're emotionally unwell and too wrapped up in your own anger to engage with anyone through anything other than insults and attacks.

Hope you have a decent day. Take care

Bless your heart for being so kind to them. I think more people need to take your approach. That account has ‘mosque shooter’ written all over it IMO.

Looking out of windows is clearly a terrorist act.

After seeing this happen so often I do not doubt the Israeli soldier saw a clearly unarmed girl through his scope and pulled the trigger to murder her with impuinity. These are not accidents. Israel does this entirely on purpose.

What would Picard do? Whatever he could to stop the loss of life.

Goddamnit this is infuriating

Im ngl i stopped finding satire like this funny after learning there are grown, educated, family people that will say this unironically.

It takes a very "special" kind of person to clearly see a child on their sniper rifle scope and pull the trigger to kill her.

I have no doubt in my mind that Israel and it's Military are not only dominated by Psychopaths and Sociopaths, but that they're also full of such sick people.

This also means that the leaders of those countries who persist in sending them weapons are themselves probably Sociopaths or Psychopaths.

(I really can't see how the likes of Joe Biden, with all the power of the US Intelligence apparatus at his disposal, isn't aware of the cold violence against children being committed by the Israeli Military all the while he signs ever more executive orders to send them weapons)

Biden knows perfectly well... As does Netanyahu and the IDF. All should be in the Hague, but instead, we'll make a mockery of the UN and the concept of international law - all in service of a range of cocktails of political expediency and hate.
