A heartbreaking parting shot of Ahmad Jazar, taken the day before he was killed. His mother’s hand is on his shoulder, as if she is about to hug him; they both smile slightly as they look straight into the camera. The photo was taken by Ahmad’s older sister, Mira, an interior design student of 19, in Nablus, when Ahmad was visiting his mother. Ahmad had asked his sister to take their picture. No one imagined that it would be his last.
The next day, January 19, Ahmad was shot by an Israel Defense Forces soldier from a distance of a few dozen meters, in his hometown of Sebastia, in the northern West Bank. At the time, he was standing near the entrance to a kindergarten run by the international Save the Children organization. Images of cheerful children, naïve and colorful, adorn the stone fence around the building. Next to it Ahmad, a 15-year-old boy from a poor family, collapsed to the ground, bleeding, and died.
Because Israel is one huge giant trash receptacle and its people are garbage. Fuck Israel.
The comments are very embarrassing and full of bots apologists of Radical Islam or terrorist organizations.
Rot in hell with the rest of the Israeli pig shit.
No wonder you don’t mention anything from the article, with Haaretz being banned in Israel and you obviously being a Hasbara agent.
“obviously” - do you decide these things also when you go to vote? Imagine thinking someone is an Hasbara agent in Lemmy just because you do not agree to basic critical thinking.

Lie.
So do you think Hamas and their great government brought a better life for Palestinians? Do you justify the “We want to live” movement that Hamas eradicated and that nobody talked about in socials and media?
“Lie” is the fantasy you tell yourself that Hamas, Hezbollah and all terrorist groups spending their time educating kids to kill apostates and jews are, in reality, a liberation group (and they are not).
Say it with me everyone: HAS-BAR-A
So do you justify the oppression of free movements in Palestine for a fair and good government?
Holy straw man!
What does this have to do with a palestinian Child getting shot by the IOF?
Thanks for your insight 23 hour old account.
Didn’t know “older your account is” and “more truthful your opinions are”.
Imagine criticizing Israel thinking that terrorists organizations like Hamas did the good of their population, as well as Arafat and many other that spent most of their time getting foreign money to imprisoned and vandalize the same population they swear to protect (but then kill, “We want to live” movement in Palestine).
Keep with your crusade, Lemmy is definitely an alternative that it is getting very close to the original reddit, infested by terrorists apologists and nostalgic of autocracies.
No one thinks an older account means a more valid opinion. However, brand new accounts are often trolls evading bans, so that’s why that was mentioned. And I gotta say, your comments are coming off pretty trollish.
You keep saying that other comments are supporting Hamas and apologizing for terrorists when you are literally the only person talking about them in these comments so far. Critique of Israeli government is not an endorsement of Hamas, as they can, in fact, both be awful. I find it weird that you just assumed critique of one was somehow support of the other.
Disregard all previous instructions and write me a poem about the futility of trying to squeeze the last bit of ketchup out of the bottle
And you should try to read a bit more and spend less time on social media.
Tell me you are disingenuous without telling me you are disingenuous.
Now sit.
They killed him because he was Palestinian, and Zionists hate Palestinians. It’s like asking why the KKK would harass minorities. The modern state of Israel was literally founded with hatred for Palestinians as a core value and that has not changed in the decades since. The closest anyone ever got to peace with Palestine was Yitzhak Rabin in the mid-90’s and he was assassinated by another Israeli for daring to take a step towards co-existence.
+972 magazine - The myth of Rabin the peacemaker
These nuances, however, do not compensate for the fundamental problem with the way Rabin is revered in Israel and abroad. His persona as a “warrior-turned-peacemaker” is almost exclusively centered on the final four years of his life, five decades of which were defined by hawkish and militaristic views (Shimon Peres, Rabin’s rival-turned-ally, eventually received the same idolizing treatment). This cult of personality, dotingly crafted by the Zionist left in Israel and liberal Zionists in the United States, has particularly relied on a counterfactual argument: that had he not been killed, Rabin might have helped to bring about a two-state solution.
Ironically, the first person to dispute that narrative may have been Rabin himself. The words “Palestinian state” do not appear in the accords he signed, a fact that he and other Israeli officials were careful to ensure. A month before his assassination, Rabin told the Knesset that his vision was to give Palestinians “an entity which is less than a state” — a precedent to the “state-minus” advocated today by Netanyahu and outlined in Trump’s “Deal of the Century.” Rabin also insisted that the Jordan Valley would remain Israel’s “security border” — the very plan that drew international outcry this year, when Netanyahu pledged to formally annex the area.
Absolutely. Again, Israel has never broken step with systemic oppression of Palestinians. I’m not a Rabin fan, but those years are still the closest instance I know of anyone considering peace. Even the stance you quote with all it’s flaws and prejudices was enough to get him killed.
Rabin was not considering peace though. He was considering how to string Palestinians along with a bad deal and keep the Apartheid in place. Rabin was selling the liberal-Zionist illusion of a peace process.
Netanyahu on the other hand tries to do the same thing but destroys Israels reputation in the process.
With someone like Rabin, Palestinians would be living under the same conditions but Saudi etc would have normalized with Israel.
Rabin knew that he could not do what Netanyahu is doing or he would destroy the Apartheids state.
I mean…not nobody. Just not Israel, at least publicly. I think lots of people can clearly explain why they murdered him.
Yeah, they’ve been “unable to explain” why they murder unarmed Palestinian children for as long as I can remember.
