  • Fuck him - he's 17 and should know better.
    But more importantly, fuck his incompetent parents for indoctrinating him and letting him be there in the first place.
    If a 17 year old is on the streets of Belfast or Hebron throwing stones at security forces, then they gotta be prepared for the consequences of playing with the big boys..... irrelevant of your sociopolitical opinions, religon or stance.

    17 year old boys never solve anything.
    They should be learning a trade, how to drink beer, read boo More..

    • @GrumpyAuldBastard the consequence of arrest yeah but come on, you don't wanna see the psni firing live rounds into these loyalists do you? The long term effects of that would well outweigh the benefits. For every person shot could create numerous sympathisers and add to your enemies.

    • @GrumpyAuldBastard yes, they should, but they won't. Didn't you have "the troubles" in Ireland a few decades ago? The youth here is highly politicized, don't expect them to politely step aside and let the grown ups solve all these issues

    • @GrumpyAuldBastard As someone from a country that has seen the horrors of occupation by a brutal and well financed regime you should really know better. The above video is daylight murder. A soldier, an adult who was in zero danger firing at children throwing stones. Please remove your head from your arse posthaste.

      My daughter is 23, my friends kids range from 16 upwards..... and I was a 17 year old kid in Belfast when the IRA hunger strikes took place and the loyalists blocked every bridge and switched off every power station in Northern Ireland.

      My parents did not turn me into a bigot - and my daughter was taught that religion is an excuse for assholes to act like assholes, and churches to brainwash and manipulate those same fuckin' assholes.

      My parents had no concern of m More..

    • @Nothingisfree Since when does naming your country "Israel" gives you the right to invade another country?

    • @Nothingisfree "says who? their child raping "god"?" Are you denying Israeli settlers exist, are increasing in number, and are continually being moved into provocative locations that legally belong to Palestine (as they have been for many decades)? Or are you just shooting your mouth off because because you're an over-opinionated, under-educated asshat whose closeted gay mega-church pastor says that god gave Israel to the zionists?

  • The kid's parents should take responsibility for this. Letting the kids piss off armed soldiers.

    • @monticarl
      Oh really? So if a soldier is pissed off he can shoot to kill when he is clearly not in any danger? You are moron.

    • @AmeriPal He didn't say if a soldier is pissed off, the juveniles were pissing off armed soldiers who are known to be trigger-happy by throwing rocks. They wanted a reaction and they got it, so the morons are the ones calling themselves victims. Would you piss off someone with a gun? Of course not, you know better.

    • @Grajeda
      And what if i have a gun? so i'm entitled to not been pisssed off by no one. So your solution for the palestinian is to bring guns in to the fight so they would automatically gain respect from the Israeli? following your line of logic could only bring to an escalation toward armed conflict.

    • @AmeriPal
      these outlaws tried to block the road, and were progressing towards the soldiers throwing stones. there's no doubt that these outlaws endangered the soldiers and the nearby traffic.

      No danger? People can die just by landing badly on a hard surface, what do you think a rock being thrown at you can do?

    • @DarthVantos I agree he wasnt a threat as such & the reaction of the Soldiers buddy says it all pushing him away, he lost control, no differance to Americans in the Haditha massacre or My lai .

    • @DarthVantos No on wants to fight a fair fight, and frankly,why should we? In the end Arabs have lot more resources because of oil and they could have helped Palestine rebuild their land 100 times over in the last 50 years but they chose not too
