#1 Shit happens. More teenage girls die in Chicago on a weekend. My boy's working in a high stress environment.

#5 Doping the scope?

Ha ha. He wouldn't do that now. Most of the IDF are total boy scouts.

#7 Highly trained IDF sniper kills by mistake?
I'm not buying it.
Who was the girl and who are her relatives?

#8 This is a standard, boilerplate excuse they always use.

When are we going to recognize evil when we see it? Murdering children really screams "depraved heart". Not even one commenter is mourning. It's just general laughter at the death of a girl.

But she deserved it, I guess. The only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian. Hooray for genocidal ideas.

#9 The IDF and paleos know each other. They face off daily. There are intelligence reports. The IDF knows which families/clans will try to kill them.
Payback is not evil, but, it is payback. To think otherwise is naive. Besides, a gunshot wound to the head is no accident.

Yeah, I think I see some.

#13 Q: What is a young lady of marriageable age doing standing among gunmen in the middle of a gunfight?

A: Either she is incredibly stupid or she is acting as a spotter-cum-human shield. Either way, if she gets hit it’s because the choice was made for her to be in a high-risk situation.

And the Geneva Conventions agree that if a civilian in the middle of a firefight is shot, it is those whose side she’s on who are responsible, not those who shot her.

Go argue with Geneva, Punky Elmigum9411.

#14 Two Arabs peered over the parapet
On top of their peaceable habitat.
"Oh, say, can you see me?"
A screaming Tamimi...
Or red-checked kefiyyehed "Miss" Arafat?
