When an Israeli soldier shoots a Palestinian teenager the teenager is always described as a "militant" or a "rock-thrower" and the soldier was following standard orders. A defense which did not work for the Nazis at Nuremberg, btw, but the irony is lost on the Israelis.
That, my dear sir, is propaganda. Language is manipulated to define the debate. Get it?
I am very aware. What I am questioning is why YOU are using this absurdly hackneyed comment?
Can you point to an incident at Nuremberg where a soldier was convicted for shooting someone for throwing rocks at them?
Can you also name a country in the Arab world whose soldiers wouldn't shoot people throwing rocks at them?
