Anyone aiming a real or fake gun at Israeli soldiers should immediately be shot, go to Hell and enjoy the services of a toothless 72 year old virgin. You want your state? Sure, but (1) stop living off the good will of other nations and start doing something productive. In other words: it's time the palis stop being parasites. (2) recognize Israel as the State of the Jews (3) respect all past, present and future agreements and (3) stop all incitement and violence against Israelis and Jews. (4) Know that the next intifadah = your second naqbah.

The next time the border guards demand your birthday cake, give them the birthday cake.

Palestinians in Hebron know very well what makes triggerhappy Israeli soldiers and borderguards shoot you. The teenager who was shot and killed, Muhammed al-Salaymeh, did not want to commit suicide, but was celebrating his 17th birtday on the day he died. He was on his way home from buying his birthday present, when he arrived at the checkpoint. The Palestine Center for Human Rights found that another child, who had a plastic pistol, was being detained by troops. When Muhammad reached the checkpoint he was shot by a border guard at close range. The Israeli explanation that he was brandishing a toy gun makes no sense. This Palestinian boy was not a jihadi, but a local sporting hero with a promising career. He had won gold and silver medals in wrestling competitions abroad and had learned juggling, acrobatics and other skills at the Palestinian Circus School for two years. He was in love with the circus and wanted to set up circus events for children in Hebron. As a Palestinian from Hebron he knew very well that any unusual movment would put him at risk. Why would a Palestinian boy who had just bought his birthday gift and was on his way home to celebate his birthday with his parents and siblings pull out a toy gun and point it at soldiers? Something certainly doesn't add up here?? Where is the CCTV footage of the incident??

cannot afford showing any weakness in the face of new dangers in the West Bank. Now, this comes in shape of rising ugly, criminal, terrorist Hamas whilst Fatah is dormant, impotent and highly corrupted. IDF should act now and always with an iron fist against those who want us out and dead.

How could someone be that stupid?? We are not talking about a 8 year old boy here, but almost a grown man! Of course it's a tragedy, but said to say its his fault. If I pulled a toy gun at a cop anywhere in the world, I would expect to get shot too!

Who would pull a toy gun on an Israeli soldier? Certainly not a normal Palestinian teenager from Hebron, who knows exactly that it doesn't take much for trigger happy soldier and border guards to start shooting. What reason would Muhammad Salaymeh have to pull a toy gun? He was celebrating his birthday and was on his way home with a birthday cake! The Palestinian Center for Human Rights established that the Israeli border guards were already detaining a Paletinian child with a toy gun. I think that the whole Israeli story is a cover up to hide a tragic mishap or criminal blunder. The border guards couldn't get around to admit that and came up with something we have heard so many times before like a Palestinian teenager pulling a toy gun at a heavily armed checkpoint in the middle of Hebron while on his way home to celebrate his 17th birthday. Again: where is the CCTV footage? If I were his parents I would insist on an independent investigation, as far as that is possible.

Was the toy gun a birthday gift? Is that what you people typically give a seventeen year old boy on his birthday?

Here, this little boy has a toy plastic gun. Will that do?
