According to the report released on Monday, one of those killed was a Palestinian man in Gaza City’s Zaytoun neighbourhood on 29 February.

Eyewitnesses told the rights monitor that the man had his hands restrained, was stripped, and that he was alive while he was run over on asphalt.

Other similar incidents have also been carried out by the Israeli army, the rights monitor stated.

    Yeah, for sure. I used to think they just both sucked, and maybe they still do, but there’s no excuse for the level to which Israel has gone. And now I question whether Palestine was acting in some sort of “self defense” all along.

    I think back to other revolutions and such, and although they aren’t 1-1 comparisons, I wonder… I bet the people of England thought the Americans were absolute terrorists during the revolutionary war.

    Anyways. Not an expert… just been trying to make sense of the happenings.

      A closer analogy would be the Irish fighting for Independence from Britain, or the Resistance in Apartheid South Africa.
