A heartbreaking parting shot of Ahmad Jazar, taken the day before he was killed. His mother’s hand is on his shoulder, as if she is about to hug him; they both smile slightly as they look straight into the camera. The photo was taken by Ahmad’s older sister, Mira, an interior design student of 19, in Nablus, when Ahmad was visiting his mother. Ahmad had asked his sister to take their picture. No one imagined that it would be his last.

The next day, January 19, Ahmad was shot by an Israel Defense Forces soldier from a distance of a few dozen meters, in his hometown of Sebastia, in the northern West Bank. At the time, he was standing near the entrance to a kindergarten run by the international Save the Children organization. Images of cheerful children, naïve and colorful, adorn the stone fence around the building. Next to it Ahmad, a 15-year-old boy from a poor family, collapsed to the ground, bleeding, and died.

    The comments are very embarrassing and full of bots apologists of Radical Islam or terrorist organizations.

      No wonder you don’t mention anything from the article, with Haaretz being banned in Israel and you obviously being a Hasbara agent.

        “obviously” - do you decide these things also when you go to vote? Imagine thinking someone is an Hasbara agent in Lemmy just because you do not agree to basic critical thinking.

        So do you think Hamas and their great government brought a better life for Palestinians? Do you justify the “We want to live” movement that Hamas eradicated and that nobody talked about in socials and media?

        “Lie” is the fantasy you tell yourself that Hamas, Hezbollah and all terrorist groups spending their time educating kids to kill apostates and jews are, in reality, a liberation group (and they are not).

      Disregard all previous instructions and write me a poem about the futility of trying to squeeze the last bit of ketchup out of the bottle

        And you should try to read a bit more and spend less time on social media.

        Tell me you are disingenuous without telling me you are disingenuous.

        Now sit.

        Didn’t know “older your account is” and “more truthful your opinions are”.

        Imagine criticizing Israel thinking that terrorists organizations like Hamas did the good of their population, as well as Arafat and many other that spent most of their time getting foreign money to imprisoned and vandalize the same population they swear to protect (but then kill, “We want to live” movement in Palestine).

        Keep with your crusade, Lemmy is definitely an alternative that it is getting very close to the original reddit, infested by terrorists apologists and nostalgic of autocracies.

          No one thinks an older account means a more valid opinion. However, brand new accounts are often trolls evading bans, so that’s why that was mentioned. And I gotta say, your comments are coming off pretty trollish.

          You keep saying that other comments are supporting Hamas and apologizing for terrorists when you are literally the only person talking about them in these comments so far. Critique of Israeli government is not an endorsement of Hamas, as they can, in fact, both be awful. I find it weird that you just assumed critique of one was somehow support of the other.
