Israeli forces kill three Palestinians in West bank in latest round of violence

JERUSALEM: -- Israeli soldiers have shot dead three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank including one the military said had tried to stab a soldier.

In recent months a wave of Palestinians stabbings, car rammings and shooting attacks have killed 24 Israelis. Over 140 Palestinian have been killed by Israeli forces as tensions between the two sides continue to simmer.

Rights groups have accused Israel of using excessive force to quell the unrest and Sweden has called for an investigation.

The surge in violence has been fuelled by the 2014 collapse of U.S.-sponsored peace talks, the growth of Jewish settlements on land Palestinians want for a state and Islamist calls for the destruction of Israel.

Also stoking the violence has been Muslim opposition to increased Israeli visits to Jerusalem’s al Aqsa mosque complex, which is the third holiest site in Islam and is also revered in Judaism as the location of two biblical temples.

Never ending misery for the Paletinians, with little coverage in western media of the real facts behind this ongoing genocide in the occupied territories.

Here we go, the worlds only ever genocide resulting in a rapidly increasing population.

P.s Criticism from lunatic Swedish politicians who have destroyed their own Country is a great sign you are doing something right.

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

The first paragraph of the OP says it all

Israeli soldiers have shot dead three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank including one the military said had tried to stab a soldier.

The IDF are the occupiers/invaders. The Palestinian they shot was resisting an almost 50 year occupation. Who knows what the other two extra judicially killed were doing...perhaps the rigorous coroner's investigation will tell us.

Israel....end these atrocities, end the occupation, make peace with your neighbors and join the family of civilized modern democracies.

It has always been Israeli policy to make life in the occupied territories so harsh that Palestinians would be forced to become refugees leaving the West bank free for Israeli settlement. The murder of Palestinians is part of that strategy.

Nothing about Palestinians murdering Jews? What's that strategy about?

[manarak]

Israel's mistake was to not seize the whole land and put the natives in reserves.

I guess Native Americans could also resist the invasion of their lands?

Jews and Arabs are both indigenous people there.

Israel's REAL mistake was to ask the Arabs to stay and be part of the new country during the 1948 war. They were fleeing in droves to Arab countries and Israel should have encouraged them to go and not come back.

News flash, the Palestinians have been under the refugees status for the last 70 years, sucking billions

of dollars from donor countries and they're still live in shitholes and mud huts and carrying knives...

Well, if you don't want to lose your land, don't start a war/s you can win or finish....

Israel could have annexed those territories and be done with that, they didn't, hoping

that one day those stupid Palestinians will come to their senses and realize that, they

can't win and will never win doing what they're doing now....

Israel ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 by not allowing refugees to return to their homes...that's a war crime.

The descendants of many of those refugees are the ones currently being dispossessed yet again as Israel attempts its 3rd wave of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. The OP incident is just part of that process.

The world should be ashamed for turning a blind eye to the barbaric Israeli occupation.

Pretty cheap rent for all the land Israel has stolen beyond the 47 Partition plan.

Bear, too, in mind, that Euronews' is in actuality 'Egyptnews', recently purchased by a wealthy Egyptian businessman. The term 'occupied West Bank', and the constant juxtaposition of '26 Israelis' and '140 Palestinians' are deliberate propaganda.

The well-known actors on every thread involving Israel are blow-hards, however tireless in their hate-mongering. Challenge them, and they go all mealy-mouthed: 'well maybe not ALL, but a friend of my maid's boyfriend assures me that a LOT of the problems in the Middle East are caused by people who knows someone who knows a Jew...'

Too tedious to address these clowns.

[FangFerang]

Israeli deaths 24, Palestinian deaths 140...roughly 6 to 1 (6:1).....

Curious how the same ratio keeps repeating itself...since the nineteen eighties.

And some right wingnut screams "You antisemitic delusional racist!"

I'm not antisemitic. I am anti-Israeli foreign policy altogether. It is amusing the two are being called the same thing, by those who want to silence dissenting opinions. And that is delusional. And facist. And hypocritical.

There is no need for straw men in a world full of animated scarecrows who want no arguments.

[wabothai]

Don't Israeli IDF 'ers learn how to deal with knife attackers and unarm them other than just kill them from a safe distance with a machine gun?

A bunch of out of control self righteous criminal cowards to me, absolutely nothing, nothing to do with politics. They are just murderers.

As Einstein once said, to keep on repeating the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Einstein was no Palestinian.

Police ALWAYS kill murderers like this in the safest way for themselves and public. They take no chances when it comes to Islamic terrorists.
