hit in head by bullet
ok that’s the worst one i’ve seen so far for sure
Makes it sound like someone dropped a round while reloading and it fell on him XD
It was an IDF-involved shooting.
yeah i just assume that’s the case whenever they don’t specify at this point
It can happen to anyone, you are walking on the street and a rubber bullet materializes out of thin air and hits you on the head. Always check the weather report for self-materializing bullets before leaving home.
hit in head by bullet
Ik it’s nothing new, but the passive language is astounding
I’m going to cut them some slack as it was a rubber bullet, and he wasn’t killed. It would still make far more sense to say “shot in head with rubber bullet” though.
Israeli rubber bullets are produced in two main types. The older type, the standard rubber bullet, is a steel sphere coated in a thin layer of rubber, weighing 14 grams, while the newly improved rubber bullet, introduced in 1989, is a rubber-coated metal cylinder 1.7 cm in diameter, weighing 15.4 grams.[18] Of the lethal injuries from this projectile, most are suffered to the head.[18]
The bullet flying out my Colt .45 is 15 grams. This is that, covered in thin rubber.
“Palestinian journalist has violent clash with rubber bullet.”
Palestinian journalist failed to find a peaceful solution in rubber bullet disagreement.
Failing to denounce Hamas, Palestinian journalist attacks bullet using his head as a cudgel.
“hit in head” so it’s OK, they just threw a bullet at him, I’m sure he’s fine!
The way the world turns a blind eye to these war crimes is horrendous.
Hardly turning a blind eye. But one wing of western media is covering it as spectacle, like Israel and Palestine/Lebanon are a couple of wrestlers slapping it out for our horrified amusement. Another wing is going whole hog on the bigotry, insisting Arab Muslims are all sicko terrorist infidels and heavily armed cockroaches, and that they need to be wiped off the face of the earth once and for all.
In either case, the idea that Israel should stop (or be stopped) is never treated seriously. You either get to treat this as a period drama or as a revenge fantasy. But its a show that must go on.
