In reply to the discussion: This nightmare was aimed at Australian Jews [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(105,444 posts)24. I was under the impression you're American, not Israeli
but perhaps you're a dual citizen.
Was there ever a time when more Israeli citizens were being killed than West Bank inhabitants?
The UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is appalled by the killing of 9-year-old Mohammad Bahjat Al-Hallaq who was shot by Israeli security forces (ISF) while playing football in Ar-Rihiya, Hebron, on Thursday, 16 October.
The fatality brings the total number of Palestinian killed by ISF and settlers since 7 October 2023 in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to 1001. One in five of the victims is a child including 206 boys and 7 girls. The number also includes 20 women and at least 7 persons with disabilities. This does not include Palestinians who died in Israeli detention during the same period.
The figure represents 43 per cent of all Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank in the past 20 years.
Since 7 October 2023, 59 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks or armed clashes in the West Bank and Israel, including 16 women and 5 children. Twenty-two of the Israeli fatalities were members of the Israeli security forces.

"make the perpetrators and their supporters miserable for the rest of their lives" is quite different from "hundred-fold response"; maybe it's your communication that makes everyone else "miss the point".

"Every attack against us will be met with hundred-fold response" is massive escalation

Steven Miller is one and he is Jewish. I think it's the ideology that matters.

This attack is about Jewish hate, and there are NO EXCUSES that justify it.
