Free Palestine: Israeli Soldiers Shoot Palestinian Farmer

by http://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.com/

The farmers were in the process of leaving when the IOF shot. And the IOF continued to shoot as the farmers tried to leave, continued to shoot, sniper-style, as the farmers cowered for cover. It was aggression for the sake of aggression. The life of a farmer is never easy, and is all the more difficult for farmers in the buffer zone, the band of land which has been imposed and extended arbitrarily to 1 km from the Green Line (on the Gaza side, not the Israeli side) by the occupying force which insists it has withdrawn from Gaza [yet somehow controls borders, imports and exports, and the entry of humanitarian aid (entry denied), and which can impose no-go zones in a land not its own, for its safety' (as with the separation wall cutting deeply into the west bank and carving the occupied land into smaller, militarily-controlled, chunks, the imposition of a "buffer zone" on Palestinian land in Gaza begs the question: if Israel is erecting the Wall and imposing no-go zones out of safety concerns, why not do so on Israeli land?)].They were close to again killing an impoverished farm-worker. On 27 January, in the same area, IOF soldiers killed 27 year old Anwar Zayed al-Buraim, shooting him in the neck while he picked vegetables on land approximately 600 metres from the Green Line. Anwar was Mohammeds cousin. These fertile rural eastern border areas of the Gaza Strip are emptying, because farmers, many of whom have farmed here for generations, are now too frightened to live and work on their own land. The confines of the Gaza Strip, which is just forty kilometers long and ten kilometers wide, are being shrunk even further by relentless Israeli invasions, by the imposition of an arbitrary and expanding buffer zone and by the targeting of civilians and farmers trying to live on and earn a living from their land. Mohammed al-Buraim marks the fourth shooting of Palestinians in the buffer zone in the last few weeks. The three shootings prior to Mohammeds were: on 18 January, Maher Abu-Rajileh (24), from Huzaah village, east of Khan Younis, was killed by IOF soldiers while working on his land 400m from the Green Line; on 20 January, at 1 pm, Israeli soldiers shot Waleed al-Astal (42) of Al Qarara, near Khan Younis, in his right foot; and on 27 January, Anwar al-Buraim was shot in the neck and killed. While attacks on farmers in other border communities, especially those on the Israeli side, would not go unnoticed, somehow the international community remains silent about these deaths, injuries, and breaches of international law. Just as the international community has stooped silently complicit to the siege on Gaza which has denied Palestinians of every conceivable means of existence and livelihood, so too are international leaders silent to the oppression of the farmers and fishermen, the poorest and the bravest, facing Israeli fire and ending up like Mohammed, Anwar, or 23 year old Rafiq who was targeted 2 miles off Gazas coast while in a small fishing boat. Israeli soldiers sprayed the boat with bullets, the dum-dum- exploding bullets hitting Rafiq in the back and exploding into numerous tiny shrapnel pieces which pierced his lungs and remain dangerously close to his spine, impossible to remove.
These are not isolated and random instances. They are part of the policy of cutting off any means of self-sufficiency the Palestinians try to engage in, and of continuing in the efforts to break Palestinians will, efforts which have included a years-long, brutal siege, a 23 day bloody war killing over 1370 Palestinians, and the ongoing targeting of civilians throughout the Gaza Strip.by ism in gaza: http://palsolidarity.org/

I'm sure of Moses returned the IDF would kill him asap - this is the same shit the dreaded SS use to employ on the Jews Israeli behavior defys logic

[moofushu]

I really don't see why the United States automatically supports Israel with money and political cover. It might have been possible to keep the American public in the dark with AIPAC advertisements, but this is no longer the case with the age of youtube. America should at the very least stop all money to Israel until they stop shooting innocent people.

just another bullshit pallywood video

in the video no soldier it's shooting just the stupid voice of the fucking women fuck of liars

[blahmfingblah]

@turbenator - If you had any clue as to what was really happening in Gaza or even that region, you would know that ISM sends international workers into the fields with Palestinian farmers, as Israel used to balk at shooting internationals. This was adopted because the IDF was regularly shooting farmers who were peacefully harvesting the fields they had planted within the zone that even Israel says they allow. What happens is, IDF get bored standing there and often have fun shooting civilians.

[Turbenator]

Hamas and its supporters are the biggest scam artists and fakers in the world. They just happened to have a bullhorn while working in the field?

[familymed1]

No context here. Clearly they know it's the Israeli army, so they're safe in facing them. Just imagine what would happen in Syria.

@Deathbringer99699 It's more sinister than you think it is. Zionists control most of the world bro.
