1. "crowd control measures"?
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.02.13)
Forensics should be able to tell us if he was shot by an IDF bullet: If not, good news and should be published. If yes, since when is live ammo used in crowd control?
2. So what's the problem? That's good news for a change.

One terrorist less.

Justjams ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.13)
As long as the person that was murdered wasn't Jewish , It can be justified. And you wonder why Palestinians and most of the world hate you. Hypocrites
4. #1 Live ammo is used in crowd control
Get Real ,   UK   (07.02.13)
measures to protect the lives of security forces when they are under threat from rioters hurling rocks etc .
5. #1 who's doing the Post Morten?
jrebecca ,   modiin   (07.02.13)
The guy was taken by Red Crescent and it does not say to where. Assuming he was taken to an Arab hospital, will they send the bullet to Israel to be compared to bullets from each and every gun available at the time of the shooting, or will they just say that the bullet MUST HAVE come from an Israeli gun? Do we trust them to tell the truth?
6. #2 Well said
Sarah ,   The Netherlands   (07.02.13)
According to Palestinians and Palestinian doctors: The young man climbed onto a military jeep during the invasion, and the soldiers drove their jeep faster, throwing him onto the ground before ramming into him.

You can't use live amo in front of rocks throwers cause it's unequal. In any democracy, the police isn't allowed to shoot if the assailant isn't armed with equal weapon How is a rock equal to a bullet?
8. As in the past
Toby   (07.02.13)
The cadet could have been shot by his own people to be used for propaganda. It has happened.
9. Very good news for once.

Reminders:stones kill and are lethal weapons.
10. #7 You hear this?
Dagan ,   Israel   (07.02.13)
You do realize no live ammo was used on the soldiers during the Ramallah lynching? You can't define "equal" weapons. What if Palestinians riot in the middle of Tel Aviv and throw molotov cocktails on police? Violence breeds violence.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.02.13)
To a left wing person your idea might make sense but in the real world when a bad guy ties one arm behind his back the good guy doesn't do the same. Soldiers are not armed with sticks and stones. They are armed with guns and anyone stupid enough to throw a rock at a person with a gun deserves both to get shot and to get a Darwin Award. Whoever came up with the idea that people should be limited to using equal force to protect themselves from criminals and thugs is a moron.
12. Dura violent town many criminal elements

Standing orders, under Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Obama. A hostile "protestor" approaches within 4 meters of a US Marine he is dead. If #6 is correct and the hostile managed to climb on the jeep, the Marines would risk court martial for not having killed him sooner.
14. #7 YES
Get Real ,   UK   (07.02.13)
BBC reports witness said stone thrower jumped on top of jeep,was shot, fell off and was run over by following vehicle. He presented an immediate and close threat to the soldiers; he could have been a suicide bomber or carried a gun.They acted properly in protecting themselves. He acted stupidly and paid with his life.

This from school someone who justifies suicide vests! You don't seem to have a problem in justifying the murder of Jews, who's the hypocrite? How you love generalizing everything! Self preservation is justification to use live ammo. I guess compared to the Palestinians, Israelis are kinda selfish. We're are not as willing to become martyrs as they are!
16. Reminder
Justjams ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.13)
How many Israeli soldiers have been killed by rocks? How many Palestinians have been killed by Israeli guns and missiles ? I remember a 12 year old boy shot dead by a sniper for throwing rocks at a tank, what a threat! If palestinians were equally armed israeli soldiers wouldnt be so brave.
17. You might want to read the story
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (07.02.13)
of David and Goliath, Goliath got a rock in his head and died. Bullets weren't yet invented. Rocks are one of the first weapons not the last. KEEP BUILDING !!!!!
