It is IDF protocol to shoot back at people throwing things in a raid because sometimes they throw grenades. The man was shot in the leg -- which is also standard to avoid the head or chest -- and was resisting arrest.
If he had not resisted, he would've been detained. If he was actually a terrorist, he'd be put to trial. If not, he'd be released within a few hours and home in time for supper.
Clearly he was taken in an ambulance.
If the IDF conducted a raid, then it was likely in cooperation with the PA, so clearly there was something illegal going on there.
And the significance of "12 hours" is, exactly, what?"I am writing this exactly twelve hours after I was attacked by an Israeli warship, off the Gaza coast..."
Indeed, though it has to be said that here it was both sides of the argument which believed the story
Jews for Justice for Palestinians
Huh, you should have seen the BBC in Cast Lead. Unrecognisable. One Palestine supporter, one Israeli and the questions, your view, your view - no proper probing questioning. As I understand it this was from hard rules from Israel that every questioning, every fault found with Israel must be followed by an equal fault with the Palestinians. It is absurd reporting particularly as none of our reporters were inside Gaza.
Jeremy Paxman of course was unable to stop himself from being himself and asked some questioning questions of the Israeli spokesman on Newsnight. This was met by a look of incredulity by the Israeli and ended quickly.
However, unable to have reporters on the ground we did have people inside who sent us pictures and told us what was going on and that spoke volumes.
Good reporting does attempt to get at the truth from both sides but that is not the same as what we saw from the BBC during cast lead - as I understand at the orders of Israel. That was a pantomime which I doubt anyone took seriously.
I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you just said in this rambling.

Israel does not control its media (unlike the PA). It also does not require that 'equal fault must be found' everytime there is a criticism or they make an error. Israel supporters only question why you don't care that the PA blows up kids and teaches hatred of Jews in their schools...apparently that is OK with you.
Oh I don't deny that the actual ridiculous way it was organised would not have sprung from Israel. It is was the most sterile reporting I have ever seen The BBC itself has a responsibility for impartiality. This is itself leaves it very open. She was being accused of having an anti Israeli bias
In 2005 Thompson flew to Jerusalem and met the then Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon and the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. He assured them the BBC's coverage would be totally impartial. On his return to London, the corporation instituted the Middle East reporting regime that exists today and which, many believe, influenced the decision to refuse to show the charity aid appeal for Gaza.
According to sources inside the corporation tensions over Israeli-Palestinian coverage have induced a state of near psychosis among BBC executives and policy-makers. One insider told the Standard: "They are in a complete white funk. To describe them as like headless chickens running all over the place would be to convey an impression of too much order and cohesion. They are cowering in corners. The fear is palpable."
How did it come to this? A view held by a number of BBC veterans suggests pressure applied by Israel and its supporters has created nervousness and led executives and editorial managers to over-compensate in the face of allegations of pro-Palestinian bias. A former senior editor said: "Whatever we did was contentious. There was a formidable lobby backing Israel and the letters would stream in. The pressure was immense."
"I have investigated this and I am convinced the policy is dictated from the top because of the enormous sensitivity," he said. "The BBC treats the Israel-Palestinian conflict like no other story. The message is: don't antagonise the Israelis." He seeks to prove his point with revelations about the BBC's internal teaching module for journalists covering the Middle East. Reporters are instructed to abide by a series of rules based on what Barkho called a "glossary", a collection of words and phrases reporters should use - or avoid.
"Only 24 of these terms have been made public," he said. "The rest are confidential." He says he has seen the glossary in its entirety and claims it supports his view that BBC policy is aimed at not provoking Israel.

I've never seem that report before but there has been a good bit written on this and the they certainly changed.

However that quote I gave above began talking about the appeal the BBC refused to do for Gaza claiming it might show them not to be impartial. All the other stations except Sky broadcast the appeal and there was uproar that the BBC did not.
However, step in Tony Benn

Only in today's phony war on terror bullshit is it bad to have charity.
AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces bulldozed tens of dunums of fertile Palestinian land in Al-Bakaa area to the east of Al-Khalil city on Tuesday, local sources reported.
They said that the occupation troops destroyed 35 dunums cultivated with various vegetables and confiscated irrigation equipment under gun threat.
IOF troops bulldoze fertile Palestinian land
We have plenty of videos of the SWAT, pointing automatic weapons at individuals "who appears to be unarmed".A video uploaded to YouTube by an Israeli human rights group on Wednesday shows an Israel Defense Forces officer pointing a gun at a Palestinian who appears to be unarmed.
Nothing new here. Israel was created by attacking civilians and they continue today.

Kind of like America? You know... those Native Americans and all?
Oh and what about England? And France?
Fact is - 99% of the world's countries that exist today were created out of war.

The difference being that now it is illegal. It was not back then.

You mean, illegal when Israel was created, i.e. when it attacked the Canaanites? Or when the United Nations declared the country of Israel and every single Arab Muslim country invaded it and tried to destroy it? Which was illegal again?
