Three soldiers pounce on a shepherd sitting outside his sheep pen. They knock him over and then one of them shoots him to death at point-blank range. Fakher Jaber, a father of four, was suspected of involvement in an incident that probably never happened
On the last day of his life, two and a half weeks ago, the shepherd and his wife got up at 5:30 A.M., as usual, and immediately went out together to milk the ewes. With their flock of 120 sheep, their work is never done. Maryam recalls now that they didn’t manage to eat breakfast before the daily Ramadan fast began. After about two hours they finished milking. Fakher took the sheep out to graze and she began to make cheese from the milk, which they sell in Nablus to help make their living.
After he returned the sheep to their pen, Fakher sat down near it, removed the Quran from his pocket and began to read from it. Maryam finished making dinner. She remembers that everything was normal and relatively peaceful that afternoon, in this beleaguered community, living under the constant threat of invasions by settlers. Suddenly Maryam heard shouting. She rushed outside and saw three Israelis in uniform yelling at and wrestling with her husband. One of the men was masked, which led her to believe that they were settlers – of the type that frequently assault the shepherding communities, graze their livestock on the residents’ lands and water their flocks from their wells.
Reminder that the IDF is a terrorist organisation.
You mean receives billions in welfare. The Iron Dome is an American system.
The IDF, US and other Zionists will claim it was out of self-defense.
When are other countries going to step up and do something about this horrifying genocide.
To be fair this is how American police kill people. Engage perfectly innocent person, escalate it because they aren’t 100% respectful of your authority and finally shoot them because they didn’t follow your orders after you claimed to see a weapon.
Which country isn’t so afraid of the US bombing them in retaliation that they’ll stand up to us? There aren’t many. And to stop Israel at this point you will need boots on the ground.
Russia is too bogged down in Ukraine, and China doesn’t want to have their trade affected.
There’s really no one left.
This whole situation makes one wish there were a hell to accept the perpetrators.
Terrorist gonna terrorize
Did someone record this or how do we know exactly what happened?
Sounds like the wife saw it happen if she saw them wrestling. Or are you doubting her recounting of events?
In a witness vs witness situation I doubt everything, yes. How should we know who is saying the truth? Because of the heart warming story about how they life their live I should route for the shepherd? I do not. I usually doubt everything, always, regardless who says it or what it is about. To me, this is hearsay. The other side was not even asked to tell us their side.
Why the hell would they be there on their property otherwise? Just think for a second.
You’re right. We should make sure that there is a thorough investigation by some kind of neutral third party to reveal the truth. I propose as a first step to establishing all the evidence that the Israelis should get the fuck out of the West Bank. They are obviously a biased party with a vested interest in this. So they should not have any fucking authority in the area just in case they try any shenanigans.
I’m instantly suspicious of any claims that “there they were minding their own buisness reading the bible on the porch”.
I guess you haven’t been paying attention then. There are too many verified videos to count of people sitting doing nothing being shot by sniper fire, hit with a drone strike, ran over by a tank, bound and executed, etc. There have been numerous cases of children shot by sniper drones while going to and from hospitals.
