4 April 2013 Israel/OPT: Stop use of excessive force against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank

For years we and other human rights organizations have documented how the Israeli army has used excessive force against protesters in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, often resulting in unlawful killings and injuries.

Ann Harrison, Amnesty |nternational’s Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa

Israel’s military response to protests in the West Bank is failing to respect the human rights of Palestinians, Amnesty International said today as the number of Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli fire in the area since the beginning of 2013 reached eight. Ongoing Palestinian protests against the Israeli occupation have further escalated this week following renewed anger over detention conditions of Palestinian political detainees and prisoners, including the death in custody of Maysara Abu Hamdiyeh, a Palestinian prisoner with cancer held by Israel since 2002. The protests look set to continue following the deaths of two Palestinian teenagers who were killed by Israeli forces at a military post near the settlement of Enav in the northern West Bank on Wednesday. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs documented more than 1,000 injuries of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces in the West Bank during January and February 2013.

I don't get why you Jews really make such facetious statements. Obviously people following this conflict knows the numerous amounts of times israel or Israelis or Israeli settlers wrecked havoc and started violence. But you really think you can make these ridiculously pro Israel statements which even Israelis would deny. Toastman, you realize people read these threads, you're not just talking to yourself or to a couple of your buddy's on this thread.
