Israel’s executions of Palestinian teens must end, Amnesty says

Israel is carrying out summary executions of Palestinians, Amnesty International has confirmed.

Sometimes it lets injured Palestinians bleed to death.

The human rights group says it has “documented in depth at least four incidents in which Palestinians were deliberately shot dead by Israeli forces when they posed no imminent threat to life, in what appear to have been extrajudicial executions.”

Amnesty’s condemnation of what it called a “clear pattern” of such summary killings came as the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces this month rose to at least 61.

Israeli Prison Guard Who Murdered African Refugee: “What’s to Apologize for?”

Israel Channel 2 News interviewed one of the mob who lynched and murder Habtom Zarhoum at a Beersheba bus station. He had come to Beersheba from his home to attempt to get a work visa from a government office. As he waited for a bus, a Palestinian stabbed and killed an IDF soldier and then began attacking bystanders. Bus station security guards then shot and wounded Zarhoum, an innocent bystander. The shooter claimed that he did so because Habtom didn’t appear like the other victims who were fleeing. Which is true because he was Eritrean and not Israeli.
