Israeli soldier shot American activist in face with tear gas can

An American activist who participated in a Palestinian 'solidarity' demonstration is in serious condition Saturday after an Israeli soldier shot him in the face with a high-velocity tear gas canister. He underwent surgery early Saturday.

Even as the rescue operation commenced, more tear gas rained down on the demonstrators as soldiers allegedly delayed ambulance access.

"Tristan Anderson, 38, of Oakland, Calif., was wounded Friday in the West Bank village of Naalin, during a protest against Israel's separation barrier," reported the Associated Press. "In the past year, four Palestinians have been killed and scores injured by Israeli troops putting down weekly stone-throwing protests against the barrier, which cuts off Naalin from 300 acres of olive groves."

"The Israeli soldiers were standing on the hill looking over us firing tear-gas canisters" Ulrike Anderson, who was with Tristan when he was hit, told the International Herald-Tribune. "Tristan was hit and fell to the ground. He had a large hole in the front of his head. I tried to stop the bleeding. He was bleeding heavily from the nose."

"Tristan was shot by the new tear-gas canisters that can be shot up to 500 meters," said Teah Lunqvist with the International Solidarity Movement, according to California's IndyBay. "I ran over as I saw someone had been shot, while the Israeli forces continued to fire tear-gas at us. When an ambulance came, the Israeli soldiers refused to allow the ambulance through the checkpoint just outside the village. After 5 minutes of arguing with the soldiers, the ambulance passed."

"Other ISM activists killed or injured by Israeli forces: Rachel Corrie, killed by a bulldozer in 2003; Brian Avery, shot in the face in 2003; and Tom Hurndall, shot to death in 2004," the site notes.


The Raw Story | Israeli soldier shot American activist in face with tear gas can


Zionism = Terrorism

 

so it goes on....this thread will make no difference...the hard cores will post excuses for the murders...justify them and move right on....

 

Should've used live ammunition....

 

Is the tear gas can okay?

 

Now provide proof that the weapon that fires the tear gas canisters is direct fire and that the canister was AIMED at the protester , failing those you have an ACCIDENT.

And as usual Shogun does not mind that the protesters are throwing ROCKS at the Israelis and thinks that the evil Jews should just suck it up and be bombarded by rocks.

 

uh, no one was murdered
read the story

 

She is claiming the previous deaths were murder, even though they all were accidents, usually caused by the person getting killed. But hey we all know those evil Jews want us all dead anyway.

 

says the ironic jew...

 

oh I know.. because when we here in the US have rocks thrown on us we do generally shoot people in the face with a fucking gas cannister.







You really miss those Ohio State days, don't you? Hell, WE should start using the whole "bu-bu-but they were throwing... uh... ROCKS" the next time we want to shut down a protest. Hell, maybe even a little phosphorus weapons too.... I mean.. we are talking about ROCKS! Can you imagine how effecting we'd have been if we'd only dropped a pair of... ROCKS... on nagasaki and hiroshima? Oh man.. those japs would have known we were SERIOUS then!

 

oh yea, dude! noting says ACCIDENT quite like.... you know.... running over a protester with a fucking bulldozer..


gotta set examples, you know. Wouldn't want to let those dirty fucking goyim assume that they can protest the actions of the new master race, you know. bulldozer here... gas can in the face there....
