“The lives of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip depend first and foremost on the private and personal scale of values ​​of the commanders in the Strip,” Har-Zahav wrote, adding that any senior officer who orders the killing of Palestinians simply because of their identity will not face consequences.

“A human life in the Gaza Strip is worth less than the lives of the thousands of stray dogs that roam the area looking for food. While there is a clear order prohibiting shooting dogs unless a soldier is in real danger when the dog’s jaws are locked on him, humans are permitted to be shot without any real restrictions.”

    Seems to be par for the course. Doctors have for some time now spoken about the vast number of children that have been shot. Not just shot. Shot in the head.
