Previous activists killed by Israel
Previous activists killed by Israel

UPDATED ON:
Monday, May 31, 2010


Tom Hurndall was a 21-year-old photojournalism student who travelled to the Gaza Strip as part of the International Solidarity Movement.

He was shot in the head in April 2003 by an Israeli army sniper while trying to rescue Palestinian children in the street.

He never regained consciousness and died nine months later in a London hospital.

British cameraman James Miller, 34, was shot dead by another soldier from the same Israeli unit just a mile away three weeks later.

He was in Rafah while making a documentary for a US cable channel.

An autopsy confirmed he was almost certainly killed by an Israeli soldier, despite the army's assertions to the contrary.

Video evidence clearly showed Miller and his team carrying white flags and shouting to Israeli soldiers that they were British journalists.

Tristan Anderson, 38, had three brain operations after being shot in the head with a high-velocity tear gas canister by Israeli security forces on 13 March 2009.

1. There's only one problem here
They're not Israeli Jews.

So Israel and its supporters - including the US government, apparently - do not see them as "people"

2. I do believe you've hit the nail square.
Not a Jewish Israeli? Then just another animal running loose in the streets or wherever.
