Israel

Well, the shock of shooting at one of their own did not last very long at all...

On the last day of the year, Israeli troops shot at a group of some 500 protesters at the wall, putting 10 Palestinians and one Israeli woman in hospital.



It shocks me that the Israeli people have so lost touch with their moral compass.

When on earth did it become okay to shoot live rounds at protesters, at civilians???

The army feels no constraints in doing this, so they must feel justified and believe that their actions are approved by the majority of their countrymen.



Somehow, when you have an active, well trained, and well funded military, it always turns to this: using them against civilians.

No matter what nationality you are...
