Palestinian Man hit in Car attack

[Kowther]

Violence erupted in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday when a Palestinian man entered a petrol station at the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba in the occupied West Bank and stabbed two settlers.
But that was not the end of the story. According to the Israeli army, the Palestinian was then shot by a soldier, after which a car, apparently driven by a settler, ran over the wounded Palestinian, twice, with Israeli soldiers all around.

I think this was a bit harsh shooting him then running him over with a car...
well yeah he did stab two settlers but running him over with a car was a bit OTT.

And the Settlers shouldn't even be there...
The Israeli Settlements in the West Bank are actually illegal... but yeah.

I guess you could look at it this way.. if Britain was invaded by Nazi Germany would you not support fighting back against the Germans? - that would involve shooting, blowing up and knifing German soliders to win back your homeland.

Neither is nice but thats one way of looking at it, desperate people do desperate things.

I guess so, but i'm just comparing what lengths some people in this country would go to if we were occupied by the Nazis.

Some people in this country stab you for looking at them, you really can't win in any country :D

does the eu class hamas as a terrorist organisation?

does the eu class hamas as a terrorist organisation?Yeah so does America. Not quite sure the relevance of it to this thread though, seeing as it's Hamas who control the Gaza strip and Fatah who control the West Bank (Where this happened).

From what I read, Hamas actually brought security to the Gaza strip, the frequent kidnaps and killings stopped when they came to power and basic services were restored. Seeing as Israel crippled the Gaza strip with hardly any food, water, oil or electricity it's no wonder they weren't deemed successful so they were forced to retaliate. And then last christmas Israel invades and kills all the Hamas leaders, it's disgraceful.
