The Israeli military has suspended from duty an entire army company following the shooting of an unarmed Palestinian man in the West Bank on Thursday.

The army said the soldiers, on a foot patrol near Hebron, had commandeered a Palestinian taxi and had shot a man who had come near them.

It said the troops had then failed to give first aid to the wounded man or report the incident.

The Israeli soldiers said they believed the man had been acting suspiciously.

One report said they had mistaken a spade he had been carrying for a gun.

The Israeli military police are now investigating the incident.

The wounded Palestinian was eventually evacuated by the Israeli army and treated for his injuries inside Israel.

Hmm, that's good I suppose. It also shows that Israel is actually more civilised than their opponents. Maybe people will respect them abit more.

What do you have against these people, as to wanting there to not be peace between them? I mean, honestly speaking I couldn't give two fucks about Israelis or Arabs, but that doesn't mean I want them to be killing each other forever. Why do you want them to be constantly fighting?

I think someone needs to open their eyes abit and realise that Liveleak and News casts of bombs and shit flying off shouldn't really be classed as entertainment.

It is a nice story, but it highlights the embarrassing fact that Israel does not discipline its soldiers more frequently. There are hundreds of stories of arbitrary abuse at checkpoints and there should be a corresponding number of stories about soldiers being disciplined.

Wow, the Israelis actually holding their soldiers accountable for their actions!

Good for them.

Well, if they continue along this path, there may be hope after all...
It's an improvement, but considering their low standards, that's not saying much.

Maybe. But I'd consider that considerably more racist than what ghettoperson was banned for - and that was very, very obviously just humour aimed at Mac users.

that's true ^

killings happen. remember the time the guy ran onto the tube in london because he was late, and he was shot because he was running towards the train with a bag? he died there. I am pretty sure the "whole forces" are not on suspension, though.

As far as I knew, wanting peace for the Arabs meaning them carrying more bombs on children, and car bombing.

It doesn't happen on a daily/weekly basis over here though - and the situation there was somewhat different, he wasn't running because he was late, he ran because he was an illegal immigrant who didn't want the police chasing him. There have been numerous reports by seperate organisations about how the IDF is not properly controlled by the Israeli government and often act unilaterally without any government authorisation.

Typically Israeli soldiers involved in this sort of action don't even face the possibility of prosecution and I commend the Israeli government for their actions in this instance.

If that's true, there's going to be another war soon.

And here was me, upon reading the subject, thinking WW3 had broken out and that I'd have to to 1,000,000 and 1 pressups and go die overseas...
