Israeli and foreign human rights groups have documented a long history of snipers firing on unarmed Palestinians, including children, in Gaza and the West Bank.
Palestinians in Gaza also report a terrifying new development in the latest Gaza war – armed drones able to hover over streets and pick off individuals. Called quadcopters, some of these drones are used as remote-control snipers that Palestinians say have been used to shoot civilians.
I used to say “I can never condemn any Palestinian for any violence done to any kapostani, or anyone reasonably mistaken for one (say, a tourist partying on occupied territory or anyone within about 500 feet of their “embassies”).”
Now? Now I can’t condemn anyone for it. And even collateral damage is… Not okay, but understandable.
