I get your point (I think) but to be fair, the Israel/Palestine situation is nowhere close to being resolved despite the passage of 3, 4 years.

in any case, UN reports are pretty unnecessary. just images speak for themselves. all in all, it's just a matter of common sense








And that's just the IDF. like i said, ordinary citizens are not much better. sometimes they're worse

Does the photo have anything to do with your thread title?

Is this thread really a game of ''spot the mistakes in this picture?"

You have outdone yourself. If UN reports are unnecessary, why do you feel the need to post 4-year-old-ones? Was this incident even mentioned in the report you actually posted in support of the thread title?

I can only conclude you just put together a report, a picture and the thread title, none of which is related to the other two.
Please don't grow up to be a scientist. You will never pass peer review. Maybe propagandist is your vocation.

Abraxas, why don't you change the thread title to "Israel/Palestine conflict" or something like that?

and please post a warning before posting those pics.

You get more desperate every day. Constantly going off on worn-out tangents.

Seriously my Chilean friend? Do you dream up images like these?

Why are you so obsessed with the dark side?

pwned.

NID.

You're such a joke, abraxas.

"just images speak for themselves."

[Seingeist]

Here's another picture of an Israeli soldier, this time actually firing on a Palestinian child.

Squeamish posters: be warned, it's extremely disturbing, and you may wish to leave now.

Maybe you want to rethink that common sense claim.

''Caveat emptor'' would be a suitable warning for them.

my sincere apologies. i will be more careful checking the sources of the images i might get the next time. or better yet, not post pics at all. facts and words speak for themselves.

all trolling aside, i'll ask you an honest question: what's your opinion on the palestinian-israeli conflict?
