Outrage Soars in Occupied West Bank After Israel Kills 11, Injures 500 Palestinians in Nablus Raid



Palestinians held a general strike in the West Bank Thursday after Israeli forces killed 11 Palestinians and injured nearly 500 in a military raid in the city of Nablus. So far this year, Israel has killed at least 65 Palestinians, including 13 children, drawing concern and criticism from supranational actors including the U.N. and Amnesty International. We speak to Amira Hass, a correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and Issa Amro, a prominent Palestinian human rights defender from Hebron in the West Bank. Amro was recently beaten by an Israeli soldier while being interviewed by the American author Lawrence Wright. "There is a huge anger among the Palestinians from what is happening these days from the Israeli racist and fascist government, who are inciting to kill more and more Palestinians," says Amro of the protests.

assuming 2 per apartment. In poorer areas, lets assume as high as 50.

500 injured divided by 50 = 10 buildings where each and every person was injured.

“Raid” isn’t the word that i would say.

Her mother was a Sephardic Jew who survived Nazi concentration camps. Her father was a Romanian born Ashkenazi Jew.
So not an anti-Semite. But definitely anti-Israel. She only wants a "binational state".


Amro is not like by Palestinians, or Israelis because of his provocations against both.

a "Bi-national nation" I would say that would make her anti-Israel. She wants to destroy what Israel is, and come out with an entirely new nation.

Is there now in all the world’s countries a single responsible adult who will say openly: “The hell with it, this Jewish mutation that is developing there in the Middle East – in other words, the State of Israel – has lost it. Freaked out, lost its mind, gone crazy. Because of its military, nuclear and high-tech power, combined with all the religious fervor, because of its alliance with the United States, this needs to worry us. Very much so.

coalition is horrid. From Right wing to far right wing, to far far right wing. Consisting of people that should not be allowed in office due to their ties with Kach and Kahane Chai. If they had their way, you would see entire Arab cities, villages wiped off the face of the earth.

In response to your original post which you edited .

Which was ..." Remember, jihadis don't distinguish between Zionists and post-Zionists. "

Im well aware of that fact .

No religious extremist , no matter their religion , cares about those they perceive as the
enemy .

We became post-Zionists when one of our own religious extremists assassinated one of our
own .

If Kach backed by Bibi , as he does now , had not murdered Rabin I would never have
become a post zionist .

Maybe if you had been born here like Amira Hass and I and lived thru what we have lived
thru you too would be a post zionist .

Its easy to criticize from a distance Mosby .

You know I think the entire conflict is tragic and without end. I just don't heap all the blame on your country and political enemies like you do. I think the world has failed Palestinians and Israelis, particularly the EU and Arab/Muslim states. This situation should have not been allowed to fester for all these years, because now there is no plausible solution, and everyone knows it.
