IDF busy classifying different types of bullets while children are being shot
---
The exact circumstances of the incident require further investigation, but the doctor who performed surgery on Mohammad says that he believes he was wounded from shrapnel that entered his body, emanating from what he claimed were “dum-dum bullets,” or expanding bullets, that were shot at the ground right next to him. Activestills photographer Anne Paq, who was at the hospital and spoke to the doctor on Tuesday, took photographs of the X-rays. Here is one of his torso:

This is a serious allegation, as dum-dum bullets are considered a war crime and the IDF is not known to use them. However, the a specific type of bullet, the small .22 caliber bullets shot by a Ruger 10/22 rifle, were banned by the Israel military advocate general in 2001 as a means for crowd dispersal, because even though they are small, they can be lethal. Despite being banned as crowd dispersal methods, this bullet is still being used on various occasions during protests, and it kills. In 2009 it killed a teenager in Hebron and a protestor in Nil’in in June. It was used again in Nabi Saleh in 2011, injuring a Palestinian in the lower part of his body.

1. Another example of really bad journalism making it impossible to believe what was written

The issue should not be swept under the rug, but a credible source with adequate know of the tech and details would be required.

3. Oh the hand wringing and cries to heaven

Oh noes!

4. Yes, yes, yes, we should all cluck our tongues and demand that

all articles must meet our collective standards when the truth may be too hard to bear.

Perchance what part of the article did you have a problem with? Was it the article itself? The accusation? The victims?

How do you define "really bad journalism?"

5. Really bad journalism is when its clearly incomplete in key areas and inaccurate in others

Look past your agenda if you can

6. That response went nowhere with regard to the article as I asked.

As agendas go, I don't attack an article or magazine then wander off as some apparently do; believing that they've scored some point.

So instead of sweeping this under the rug what the article was talking about was illegal use of banned ordinance by the IDF.

If you wish to discuss that then I would love to hear your point of view...that is if you do not also have some sort of agenda.

Goodnight.
