    OP here. I really don't know what to make of this. I've been flipping between thinking that this has to be staged, but I am not sure. If this is real, it is outrageous.

    So was the Putin / Elton John phone call, just sayin'.

    It's real.... Check out the link I posted. That's an Israeli paper. It's reporting 'Military sources'. And that's on a Pro-Israeli site. Most of the comments are in support of the soldiers actions...even though the accounts suggest there were 6 soldiers surrounding her...One of the pictures shows a man in the shot which seems to match up with the Palestinian witnesses accounts and that mans accounts that he was trying to act as a translator....

    They have a picture of the knife the lady reportedly came at them with.

    I'm sure the Israeli soldiers do have instances in which they are under threat but this to me is terrible. There was a story in the city I live in. A woman with warrants was spotted in a car outside a petrol station. The cops surrounded her and told her to give up and come out. She refused and started getting irate. They shot the sh1t out of her and the car and killed her....

    The reaction from people were similar to those commenting on the news site. A sad, hateful community of people

    Bit more info here and some more photos, but still no evidence. The original photo looks staged. The original story and photo came from a FB post and the Indo ran with it with no corroboration. A HD photo of an IDF soldier about to shoot someone? Really?



    OP here, and I am calling bullshít. You don't get HD photos of an innocent party about to get murdered. IMO the Indo and the Mail have published photos which are clickbait. The Indo knows it and that is why they deleted my comments questioning the veracity of the photo. If the photo and story was legit, the Indo would have no reason to delete my comment.

    I just questioned the legitimacy of the photo and the veracity of the story and the Indo deleted my comment.

    I am a huge supporter of the Palestinian cause, but the Indo can fúck right off by trying to censor me.

    Its reported by most major news agencies.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
