Honey I’ll be your shelter
I’ll be the one to take you through the night
Whenever you need shelter
I’ll make everything all right
– Taylor Dayne, I’ll Be Your Shelter (1990)
Most palestinian civilians killed during IDF operations are not killed due to disproportionate force. They are killed due to disproportionate stupidity.
A Palestinian militant moves into position as civilians look on during an Israeli army raid in the village of Qabatiya, near the West Bank town of Jenin, Thursday, Sept. 7, 2006.
A Palestinian militant points his rifle towards Israeli troops as other gunmen and civilians look on during an Israeli army raid in the village of Qabatiya, near the West Bank town of Jenin, Thursday, Sept. 7, 2006.
What are the civilians waiting for? All they’re missing is the popcorn.
And I’m sure the terrorists aren’t warning them to take shelter. It suits them just fine that their people are liable to be hit by Israeli fire.
Just recall these pictures when you read about a palestinian being killed during an IDF operation. It might just provide some needed perspective.
