Mark my words--the news media will soon cooperate with a terrorist tactic of blaming Israel for shooting a child
I explained that:
Islamists have a standard practice of performing trial runs, as was reported about the 9/11 attacks and today regarding the London attacks. They do this for three reasons:
-to practice,
-to test security, and
-to score propaganda points via their leftist allies in the news media about the security overreaction should someone who turns out to be unarmed be shot or even apprehended.
In Israel, the final reason above is why children are chosen for these tests.
Today's news is:
IDF Kills Infiltrator at Army Base
Army: Palestinian youngster entered army base.
Palestinians: He was innocent passerby
The youngster...was apparently unarmed....One of the Palestinians ran towards the center of the camp, causing a soldier to think that he was a terrorist with a suicide bomb strap. He fired two shots in the air, called on him to stop, in Arabic too, and after the Palestinian failed to stop, the soldier fired at him, hitting him in the shoulder."
This story first appeared six hours ago and as prediected, the news is now being picked up everywhere by left-of-center editors who, like me, look for stories that fit into their ideological message:
Israeli troops shoot dead Palestinian
Israeli army kills Palestinian in West Bank
Israeli forces kill Palestinian
Israeli troops shoot dead Palestinian near Jenin
Israeli army kills Palestinian in West Bank -medics
Troops kill Palestinian entering W. Bank base
Of course, IRIS does not claim to be an objective news outlet, as the sources cited above do. The stories cited here are openly brought to buttress my opinions.
