Israel tanks fire on Jenin crowd
Israeli troops have fired tank shells at Palestinians in a marketplace in the West Bank town of Jenin, killing at least three civilians and injuring more than 20 others.Oof. This makes it rough. I mean, Israel does have a right to defend itself, yes, I admit that (while still admitting that an independent Palestinian state not only has a right to but SHOULD exist) but it’s hard to keep the moral high ground and say you’re not going too far in your actions when civilians are harmed and possible targeted. Yes, mistakes will be made, individuals will get edgy and tensions will run high enough where one guy will screw up and a domino effect can begin, but it still sucks. I really don’t have a solution for the mess over there, I don’t think anyone has a real solution, so I can’t really stand up and say “here’s what needs to happen!” I’m simply forced to stand back and just shake my head at all the death. It’s sad, really.
An Israeli army spokeswoman told BBC News Online that the unit in Jenin had “erred in its action”.The army has begun an investigation into what it says are accidental killings.
