• Les « règles d’engagement » selon l’armée israélienne : traiter un écolier de 16 ans de fils de chienne, puis l’assassiner lorsqu’il s’approche. On peut déjà s’attendre à ce que les soldats responsables soient (sévèrement) acquittés.

    An Israeli Defence Forces spokesman said the shooting happened after soldiers initiated “standard rules of engagement”, which include live fire, to respond to such incidents.

    That was challenged on Wednesday by Samir Awad’s family, teachers and school friends, who said he had approached the fence only after being incited by Israeli troops, who had used loudspeakers to provoke pupils at Boudrous Secondary School, which sits 200 yards away, into a confrontation.

    “They were shouting, ’Come dogs, Come to the wall,” 10-year-old Khaled Shaheen told The Daily Telegraph. "They were also calling us sons-of-bitches and saying your mothers are dogs and adulteresses. They were shouting on the loudspeakers before Samir left his class.

      Notably there is no explanation provided as to why the PA has not been able to pay its tens of thousands of workers, namely that Israel has stolen the Palestinians’ tax and customs duty funds.
