Silence is Complicity - The methodical shooting of boys at work in Gaza
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.p...t=va&aid=22879
from the article: The deliberate injury of the limbs of 23 boys by high velocity weapons has been logged and described by Defence for Children International – Palestine Branch (DCI-P) since March 2010. (1) Some of the facts have been published in national newspapers. These barbarous acts contravene international and national law but there are no judicial responses. The caring professions see the physical and mental pain of those who suffer and they should be in the vanguard in calling for this great cruelty to cease forthwith. Political leaders have failed to act. The Geneva Conventions Act 1957, which is of central importance in holding war criminals to account in the jurisdiction of the UK, is being emasculated. ...................... the 23 boys who have been shot between 26/03/10 (Said H) and 23/12/10 (Hatem S) are listed in the table below with skeletal facts. These points are made:- · In 18 there were single shots and not automatic fire · The reported range in most cases confirms that the weapon was a sniper's rifle in the hands of a sniper · Almost always there were many dozens of other men and boys at work; these victims were picked off · A leg was the target in most cases. Where the leg was not the target it is likely the sniper was 'aiming up' so the flank, elbow etc was hit instead. · No weapons were being borne by the gravel workers so they posed no threat to the Israeli Occupation Force personnel. Instead they were bending their backs to their menial work within their internment camp · The histories refer often to the recovery of the injured boy by friends and relatives under fire. This was a feature during 'Cast Lead' or instead the paramedics were barred from getting to the victims so they died without care. The history of the injury and sequel for each boy are linked to in (1). It has been done meticulously and the translation into English is perfect. The pain, and often the terror, felt by the boy as the bullet struck home are vividly recorded. No bullets have been recovered yet so the calibre/type is unknown. |

It's refreshing to see a side shooting to injure rather than blowing up hundreds at a crack.

It's an anti-semitic hate site that contains completely made up crap that has no supporting evidence.
And now you're posting articles from that same site about Jews murdering children. ![]() What next, mein herr? "Boncentration Bamps" perhaps? |

again with the rhetoric.
anytime someone criticizes israel they are 'anti-semitic'. ![]() ...prove the article is not true..... if it is all lies, that should be easy. btw....since you have not bothered to read the article, it has nothing to do with 911. also i can't watch your video response. |

You seem to believe that the burden of proof doesn't lie with the person making the claim. But it does. You're making the claim, you back it up.
Now, in actual practice, many times we give an assumption of truth to statements made by sources we consider reliable. Is global research such a source? Not unless you're a troofer. Oh.... |

Remember that girl who supposedly died from tear gas and it turned out to be a lie propagated by the Palestinian lie machine? This story is worth less than that.

War is hell. Propaganda is another weapon.
But Biker, you really have to vet your sources more carefully. |

Go back and read again the link I provided.
Globalresearch posted an article by a group that has been identified as a terrorist support group by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Promoting conspiracy theories that paint the jewish people as being behind everything is anti-semitism.Global Research ~IS~ an anti-semitic hate site. As such, every article on that site is automatically suspect. |

What do you think of this globalresearch article which says the Freemasons and Illuminati created Wahabbism?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.p...xt=va&aid=2757 Bikderdruid, what do you think of websites that publish that sort of stuff? You claim you taught critical thinking to high school kids. Holy crap it all makes sense now. Bikerdruid's kids that he ear-holed into "questioning everything" now write truther, Illuminati, moonbat lefto-neonazi articles on globalresearch.ca |

For someone who claims to be a retired teacher, bikerdruid sure seems terrible when it comes to choosing his source material.
Nice how he keeps dodging the little fact that the article is from a crackpot site. BUt then he is a 9/11 Truther so what should we expect......... |

I invoke Sentryman's corollary to Scopie's law WRT sites such as globalresearch.

More than just aiming always for the leg, it seems they were specifically targeting the boy's testicles. The attacker must be trying to stop the boys from reproducing. Indeed in almost half the cases, the targets were described as 'fine pieces of ass' by Gaza women, and thus were more likely to reproduce than their uglier counterparts who were not targeted for attack. Also, all the rounds were found with just the tip cut off, indicating that the attacker is Jewish.
That sounds true. They should add that to the article. ![]() |

BD - you pointed us to the article. You quoted from it. With no offense, you certainly know the order of evidence/proof here: you pulled it up, you are responsible for proving it - at a minimum you should be able to quote from a better/more trustworthy source with verifiable detail or have no assumption that we have any reason to believe it.
BTW, Israeli snipers tend (exclusively I am pretty sure) to use .50 cal. for sniping. That would be pretty evident even if spent bullets could not be located. |

I picked this article at random from your links. I read it. I don't see anything in the article about shooting boys in Gaza. The only mention of any Palestinian boys in that story is as part of a death toll from an air strike, not from shootings. The deaths may be regrettable, but they sure don't fit the description in your original post.
So... fail. I won't bother with your other links. Feel free to provide quotes, though, if you really think they back up your claim. |

Bikerdruid; What's your opinion on the article about the Illuminati creating Wahabbism? What's your opinion on sites that publish such articles?

The more I think about the document in that link, the more I realize that:
Not only are the pictures in that document not compelling evidence supporting the claim in the OP, they are actually strong evidence against the claim in the OP. If 29 children had really been shot by snipers, you would think at least one of them would have a bullet wound that resembles a real bullet wound. Some of them don't have any apparant wound at all. Others are covered by bandages or casts, and others are garden-variety scratches, scrapes, bruises and the like. |
