Dette er så ufattelig grusomt. Tenk at et land som kaller seg et demokrati gir hæren ordre om å henrette suktne mennesker som står i matkø. Det finnes ingen unnskyldninger lenger for å ikke å innføre full boikott mot Israel. www.vg.no/nyheter/i/8q...
Haaretz: Israelske soldater bekrefter – har fått ordre om å skyte på palestinere i matkø
Den israelske avisen Haaretz har intervjuet en rekke soldater og offiserer som bekrefter at slike ordrer er gitt. Statsminister Netanyahu kaller det «blodanklager».

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/
