Settlers gawk as Palestinian woman lies dying at checkpoint (Update)

On Yom Kippur, there is one story from Israel and Palestine: the killing of 18-year-old Hadeel Hashlamoun at a Hebron checkpoint after she was confronted by soldiers pointing guns.

Below is the shocking video of Hashlamoun’s form being roughly dragged on the ground after her shooting. News accounts state that she was then still alive; she did not die for several hours, at a hospital. Israeli settlers observe her with detachment and even smiles. One of these settlers wears a blue t-shirt with the words in Hebrew on it (visible at 1:41):

MEDICINE Rescue/Medical Aid (the Hebrew word is Hatzala) Judea and Samaria

If he is a medical professional, he takes no interest in the Palestinian woman’s situation except to gawk. That organization provides emergency medical services to the settlers. Presumably only to Jews. Another settler grins at the scene at 1:38.

Just another worthless Palestinian life to the IDF.

1. Here's what actually happened as reported by an actual newspaper (NY Times), not a vanity blog

2. And this is where I have to spank you on live TV for not even bothering to lift a finger to post the

opening paragraph.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian woman early Tuesday at a checkpoint in Hebron in the West Bank. The Israeli military said the woman had pulled out a knife, but a European advocate for Palestinian rights, who said he had witnessed the episode, said the woman appeared to be only trying to open her purse for inspection.

The very first paragraph has contradictory stories, oh great ober, yet you jump to the IDF's defense just like those wgo rushed to defend the murderers of Michale Brown, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray and more.

But please proceed, oh great sage.

Tell us how the woman that was shot deserved to lay on the ground for a lengthy amount of time...seeing how the IDF is so caring in how it murders Palestinians, over and over and over again.


Go ahead.

Or perhaps we should complain about how the Palestinians should step aside and let Yehuda Glick fundamentalist attack the Al Asqua mount so they can set up shop there as well.

Deflections galore.

Happy day of atonement.

3. That's his MO. Spread uncertainty or change the subject.

Pushing Israeli propaganda is his one concern.

5. Rubbish

Oberliner is a stickler for accuracy and some other people aren't.

The OP posted was from a inconsequential blog most people consider at best a vanity site and more likely a bigoted hate site ... Oberliner just pointed to a more accurate source - the NYT

Pardon me, king, but your veracity on pretty much anything is in the hopper, IMHO.

7. At first I thought the headline in the OP was OTT, but then I read the whole OP.

Your link to NYT only confirms what's in the Mondoweiss article. I'm not really sure if there any discrepancies at all.
