A heartbreaking parting shot of Ahmad Jazar, taken the day before he was killed. His mother’s hand is on his shoulder, as if she is about to hug him; they both smile slightly as they look straight into the camera. The photo was taken by Ahmad’s older sister, Mira, an interior design student of 19, in Nablus, when Ahmad was visiting his mother. Ahmad had asked his sister to take their picture. No one imagined that it would be his last.
The next day, January 19, Ahmad was shot by an Israel Defense Forces soldier from a distance of a few dozen meters, in his hometown of Sebastia, in the northern West Bank. At the time, he was standing near the entrance to a kindergarten run by the international Save the Children organization. Images of cheerful children, naïve and colorful, adorn the stone fence around the building. Next to it Ahmad, a 15-year-old boy from a poor family, collapsed to the ground, bleeding, and died.
Just a reminder that you’re in a thread about the IDF murdering a child.
Not sure about you, but I’d be pretty terrified if that happened to my family or in my town or even in my country…
Like everybody would be and nobody should justify that and to of course bring to court the person that did that.
The same doesn’t happen in Palestine and everybody is aware of it but many tend to justify when the reality is that Palestinians are against both Israel and terrorist groups backed up by foreign countries.
If you don’t agree you are being disingenuous.
Huh? Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having trouble understanding what your position is…
For one though, everybody is not aware of it. And many who are do not care.
Sadly, this is not a rare occurance, even before Oct 7. But since then, you could find a headline like this (or worse) at least every week or two on average. At some point it becomes a pattern, and that point was years (if not decades) ago.
