Occupation

If you look here you’ll find a video, released by B’Tselem, of an Israeli soldier shooting a blinfolded and handcuffed detainee in the foot with a rubber-covered steel round. It happened on the 7th of July at a protest against the separation wall near the village of Nilin on the West Bank.

The soldier who pulled the trigger, the other one who held the detainee so he could be shot and their commanding officer should suffer condign punishment for this.

It’s not possible to oppose this kind of abuse and defend the continued colonisation of the West Bank. If you support the latter you also support the former.

Update: It’s on the B’Tselem website now with a description of the events in English.
