So, the metadiscussion so far in this thread regarding an article alleging gruesome behaviour by cops/Israel/soldiers is that the typical leftie crowd has predictably expressed outrage, and the typical rightie crowd has predictably been baiting the lefties by playing tough with offensively unsympathetic reactions.

Any thread, any subject, any time, it's all the same. What's the point? It's just the words that are different.

What?

K. My unsympathetic reaction is because this isn't really newsworthy. If you protest, shit like this can happen to you. It's to be expected. It's like joining the army then complaining when they send you to war. It's a result of a reporter who has a political bias against Israel trying to spark outrage against Israeli brutality.

Generally I oppose Israel and the methods used by them. Stop trying to label people.

I'm not "labelling" people. Your teen fears will have to be fed elsewhere. I don't care about you. I don't care what you general opinion is. I said "metadiscussion" for a reason, and I've yet to be convinced that my observation is inaccurate. Got a problem with it? Getting angsty over being "labelled" is not the way to address it.

well a sniper shooting a super sonic bullet vs a big ass teargas canister. Hmmm, that and those canisters put out stuff called tear gas that makes you move away. Maybe he shouldn't have been throwing rocks.

How do you know that they are full of shit?  Maybe the are those seriously pleased about an American being hit in the face with a tear gas canister (Rammie where art thou?).  It personally doesn't bother me because I don't care about a American protester that is so sympathetic to Palestine, they decide to protest in a quasi war zone. 

You just typed that you don't know what the 'reponses' should be .... But you know what they can't?  C'mon.

LOL, pricless.

Could have been worse. Could have been British activist Tom Hurndall.

The link shows a photo of Tom after he was shot, if you don't have the stomach for reality, don't click it.

Hmm. Well to be fair, standing in the way of the soldiers wasn't the best decision to make on the planet.

He had the balls to stand in front of children to protect them. You or I would never have the balls to make the decisions he made..........to be fair.
The Israelis convicted the shooter.......an Arab.
"On 11 August 2005, al-Heib was sentenced to eight years in prison by a military court."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hurndall

The IDF initially refused more than a routine internal inquiry, which concluded that Hurndall was shot accidentally in the crossfire, and suggested that his group's members were essentially functioning as human shields.[citation needed] However, witnesses at the demonstration in the Palestinian town of Rafah said he had been hit by a rifle bullet while trying to shield the children rather than having been merely hit in the crossfire, and Hurndall's parents demanded an investigation.[2] After several months of pressure from the parents, supported in part by British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, Israel's Judge Advocate General Menahem Finkelstein in October 2003 ordered the IDF to open a military police investigation into Hurndall's death.

The defence in the trial of Sergeant Taysir attempted to raise doubts as to what ultimately caused Hurndall's death. A military court was informed that Hurndall died of pneumonia. Chen Kugel, an Israeli forensic pathologist appearing for the defence, stated that the pneumonia had not been properly treated and “the large amounts of morphine” Hurndall was receiving contributed to his death.[6] The court rejected these claims.[2]

On 1 January 2004 20-year old Sergeant Taysir Hayb, an IDF soldier from a Bedouin patrol, appeared in court to have his custody extended; apparently he had been arrested in late December 2003 and an IDF press release said that he had "admitted to firing in proximity to an unarmed civilian as a deterrent". Initially the soldier admitted to shooting what he described as a man wearing a uniform of a Palestinian faction and armed with a pistol. Upon further interrogation, he changed his story, and said he had fired a shot near an unarmed civilian as a deterrent, but ended up hitting him unintentionally. Subsequently, the soldier was indicted on six charges, including a charge of aggravated assault; following Hurndall's death, the military judge overseeing the case indicated the charge was likely to be changed to manslaughter or murder.[citation needed]
