[QUOTE=Warhol;24889049]Why hasn't anyone banned this racist yet?[/QUOTE]
Probably because Palestinian is an ethnicity, not a race.
So? You can be racist regarding an ethnicity, just because the name is slightly different doesn't mean that it doesn't apply. It's generalizing a specific group of people based on where they came from and stuff like that, just because they aren't really a race (and some people claim that there are no races either, that we are all just the human race) doesn't mean it isn't racism.

Racism can include ethnic discrimination. Just because it's not racist doesn't mean it's not bigoted.
I definitely wouldn't want a soldier being a police officer.

This, folks. I can't stand you peopel bandwagoning onto the Israel hate train over individuals' actions.
I think people have the right to "bandwagon" if thats what you call it, consider how frequent "accidents" like these occur in Israel. Seriously it was just a couple months ago when another Palestinian before him got shot while he was handcuffed, he was lucky though.
Either the IDF is one of the worlds most incompetent armies, or theres a lot of assholes in it. I'll pick the latter.
They are made up of mostly conscripts but unlike other countries with conscription, they are almost guaranteed to see action. There's also a lot of assholes as Israelis aren't immune to the petty racial fighting.
I don't know if you would call it frequent as it happens a fair bit in other armies too, these stories are usually a lot more publicised though making them stand out.

Except this happens on a nearly weekly basis.
[QUOTE=kevn150;24873320]Enough of this "Israeli soldiers killed a civilian, horrible, Israel shouldn't exist" shit. Forgive me if I'm sounding intolerable or unaffected, it's just that a fact of war is that civilians are going to die. There's no article in the Geneva Convention stating "you shouldn't kill civilians".
I'm not implying Israel literally takes this as a go-ahead to kill civilians. Israelis can feel guilt too. I imagine this soldier is probably going to feel guilty his entire life.
Civilians getting killed in war is a fixed fact. It's going to happen, as much as we like to think of it as being improbable.
As to whether Israeli's cause for military occupance in Gaza and the West Bank is correct, that's a different matter. There has been worse reasons for going to war before.[/QUOTE]
I agree with this statement, bring it fuckers :colbert:

Dude, they lined up kids to see who stole a car, not check who's funding the military.
