Israel Warns Neighbors Over March To Jerusalem

I would say that Israeli soldiers showed more restraint than usual as the the number of dead and injured this week was lower than a typical week.

Yet you cry (Selectively) when others do just that.
Why do you feel you need to attack others personally instead of attacking their ideas?
I blame your hypocrisy, which of course is likely caused by your admitted stupidity.

Question to hard for you Jimmy?
Would you like to see some quotes, where you attack others, instead of their ideas?
Or are you more interested in pretending to be a forum cop? Do you dress up in a little cop uniform before you come out to play? I know you have a pretty intense uniform fetish.

When our news reports that "Palestinian rocket and mortar attacks followed a period of relative calm", they aren't referring to the Palestinian experience. In the last 45 years, I don't think Palestinians have ever experienced a month without multiple violent lethal attacks, illegal land annexations and home demolitions. While I would agree that the majority of Israel attacks against Palestinians appear to be focused on militant targets ( I am neutral on these attacks), they also go after political leaders, organizers of non-violent protests and members of their families (war crimes). Then there are the Israeli attacks against Palestinian infrastructure (water sewage power...), the sole purpose is collectively punish millions of civilians (war crimes).
This conflict's violence makes our news occasionally, but Palestinians experience violence, injustice and oppression on a daily basis.

EAO - You claim that I have not condemned Israeli War Crimes is utter BS.
Care to have your ass handed to you again. I can. But a retraction of your comment would be expected, without any qualifiers.
Game on - Game off -
Over to you Bucky.
I wonder why Jimmy isn't chasing EAO around and attacking EAO about that.
Must have something to do with the fact that we've upset him, by pointing out his childishness, hypocrisy, inconsistency, and his admitted stupidity, and this is his childish way of trying to seek revenge.
I blame his admitted stupidity for why he places so much importance in net forums.
Denialruns strong in you, did you not hear the warning that they would open fire even on 'peaceful protestors'? And that is just what they did before any violence took place.
I guess we can stop the horse**** condemnation of any nation using violence as a credible way to end any/all protests. I would imagine that 'morality' of yours allows protesters in Syria to kill soldiers and police and condemn the soldiers when they fire back. lol Can't get much more hypocrite than that.

More restraint than usual - care to explain that - comes across as IDF regularly go on shooting sprees just for the hell of it
Why would I "chase" EAO around and attack him for that. I don't really care what the Joo-hater thinks. I'm just intrigued at how similar he and Goober are.
Not likely -but you and EAO are the same Bear, myself plus many other have taken you both of you to school and yet you fail to gain knowledge. Keep coming back for more.
And EAO left your ass hanging in the wind.
Why he accused me of the same thing - I offered up the same challenge again - But both of you suffer from knowitallitis and cannot admit when you are gravely mistaken.
As I mentioned previously - a serious fixation is a sign of stability issues.
Now give me another Red.
IDF soldiers can and do kill Palestinians for kicks. This report gives two examples
"Don’t worry - it’s just another Palestinian child’s death"
On 18 March 2006, I visited a grieving family in Al Yamun, a town in the northern West Bank. Their 7-year old daughter had been murdered the night previously by Israeli Border Police, who had entered the town to arrest “wanted” Palestinian militants in a raid led by Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). Her name was Akaber Adbelrahman Zaid and she was on her way to a doctor’s clinic to have stitches removed from her chin. Instead she received a barrage of bullets to the head, when an undercover Border Police unit opened fire on the car in which she was travelling with her uncle.
An IDF spokesperson said the police had thought that the wanted militants were trying to escape in the car and thus fired shots at the wheels as a deterrent. Akaber’s uncle said it was obvious that the only people in the car were himself and a small child, adding that the policemen had fired at close range. A Ha’aretz reporter inspected the car afterwards and found that all four tyres were still intact. For a specially trained unit of sharpshooters to fire at the wheels of a vehicle from a short distance and miss their target completely seems a little dubious...
...attempts have been made to put IDF officers on trial in the past, but not only do most of these fail; the verdict usually serves up a further slap in the face for the victim too. Just five days after Akaber’s murder, Ha’aretz reported that Captain “R”, a Givati Brigade soldier in the IDF, would be awarded 80,000 NIS in compensation from the State of Israel, after being acquitted of a five-count indictment against him related to the killing of Iman Al Hems, a 13-year old Gaza schoolgirl. Iman had been shot by the IDF in October 2004, when she came in the vicinity of their outpost. Captain “R” had then approached Iman, who was already lying injured on the ground and had shot her at point blank range. Transcripts of radio exchange between the soldiers during the incident revealed that Captain “R” stated he did this, “to confirm the kill”.
Contradicting himself in court, Captain “R” said he opened fire, not directly aiming at Iman, in order to create deterrence, and that he believed that the young girl posed a serious threat. How mentally disturbed and/or cowardly must an Israeli captain be to feel scared of an unarmed 13-year old schoolgirl, who was already lying wounded and helpless on the ground?....
Don't Worry -* It's Just Another Palestinian Child's Death
This IDF Reservist can explain what I meant by "more restraint than usual" regarding the casual killing of innocent unarmed civilians by "some" IDF soldiers.
Why Every Jewish Soldier Should Refuse - Gush Shalom - Israeli Peace Bloc
Just because IDF soldiers and Jewish settlers can kill Palestinians with impunity, that doesn't man they all do this. But if you are a cold blooded killer and want to gun down innocent people including children in cold blood without fear of serious consequences, then becoming a settler or joining the IDF could be for you.
You stated that I have not condemned Israeli War Crimes - Do you still stand by that or do you retract this false statement
Not quite as mentally disturbed as...
Child suicide bombers in the Israeli

Oh you'll be getting a neg from our new self appointed forum cop for that.
Why am I not surprised the new self appointed forum cop hasn't taken EAO to task for that.
How sad that you can't just admit that the IDF showed and used considerable constraint these last few days. How sad that you give a backhanded acknowledgement just to use that to propagate more of your one sided bullshyte. Using IMEMC as a sourse is like colpy using the religionofpeace web site as a source against Muslims.
This, once again, puts lie to your continued proselytizing that you are open minded and neutral with the ME situation.
Tell me, what "justice" have those that have been responsible for Israeli children's deaths been brought to?
