A 16-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin this week was shot dead by an Israeli sniper as she looked out of the window of her home, her father said on Wednesday.

It takes a very "special" kind of person to clearly see a child on their sniper rifle scope and pull the trigger to kill her.

I have no doubt in my mind that Israel and it's Military are not only dominated by Psychopaths and Sociopaths, but that they're also full of such sick people.

This also means that the leaders of those countries who persist in sending them weapons are themselves probably Sociopaths or Psychopaths.

(I really can't see how the likes of Joe Biden, with all the power of the US Intelligence apparatus at his disposal, isn't aware of the cold violence against children being committed by the Israeli Military all the while he signs ever more executive orders to send them weapons)

Biden knows perfectly well... As does Netanyahu and the IDF. All should be in the Hague, but instead, we'll make a mockery of the UN and the concept of international law - all in service of a range of cocktails of political expediency and hate.
