How can they tell?

Another biased one-sided report from the professional liars.

I am, like most of your readers sick and bored of this "palestinian sources" reports! What's this? Part of the arab propaganda system? Please I believe more in Olmert (and that's to say much) than in this Ali Waked guy! Why should he receive a salary from an Israeli newspaper to spread arab lies?

but the victim did not die on the spot. Conclusion: although the circumstances are ideal, as Naalin is a PA area, metal-coated rubber bullets are not effective; end of the test.

What a crappy article. According to the article the guy "can't even talk" and also "stutters badly". Why should I believe the rest of the article when confronted with this glaring discrepancy? Looks like ynet wanted to rush out another piece bashing the IDF.

hit the tied man, the free one will be terrified.

the truth about whether he was shot once or four times will come out soon enough, though the words "according to Palestinian sources" don't engender much confidence

there is no report whether he was even shot once. good cover-up is better than much confidence. Autopsy will show that on microscopic examination of bullets, it is written on them: to Palestinian with love, but still the Israelis will say it's Palestinian made.

Who said the brother was mentally ill? If you ask me all fanatics are mentally ill so whats new!

How can you use such biased reports from this professional propagandist?

We have no right to protect ourselves.

Why is this picture uncredited? Did Ynet check its validity before publishing it? It is bad enough having to see this kind of manipulated image on anti Israel sites without YNet falling for this manipulation!

"shouting "Allah Huakhbar" and trying to grab a gun from one of the soldiers. The soldier, who had his back turned, spun around and shot the man from close range". This seems an excellent reaction to me and the soldier should be awarded a medal. Every time an Arab in the West Bank is shot while trying to attack a soldier or policeman we are told that he was retarded. This either means that the number of retards in the West Bank is much higher than in other places or that the Arabs are lying. On second thoughts, probably both of the above are true. Mike

He tried to grab a weapon from an officer making an arrest and attacked him and the officers were required no to react?

"the brother went wild and was put in one of the rooms. The force went up to the second floor and detained the wanted man for questioning. The mentally ill brother suddenly arrived and tried to snatch one of the troops' weapon. The soldier fired one rubber bullet in self defense, injuring the man. The brother then closed himself in a room and did not agree to receive medical treatment, the army said. Other family members began hurling stones at the force as it left the house. "

The number of retards are very high among the arab populations.

((According to the IDF, the brother went wild and was put in one of the rooms.)) at first the soldiers discovered that the brother is mentally ill. then after going to the second floor, ((The mentally ill brother suddenly arrived and tried to snatch one of the troops' weapon.)) the soldiers were sure that their mission (detaining & questioning only) was not entitled to stir self-defense, so they had only rubber bullets. But in Na'alin, the soldiers had shot in the head a unarmed young-man in his house's front yard, and the cause was also self defense. It sounds that the vague policy of Israel on the kind of bullets always works.
