Flashback - Amira Hass of Haaretz,
' Don't shoot until you can see
they're over the age of 12'; Nov. 20,
2000. Hass is interviewing an IDF
sharpshooter.
' Don't shoot until you can see
they're over the age of 12'; Nov. 20,
2000. Hass is interviewing an IDF
sharpshooter.
- Excerpt:
(Hass is the speaker without
quotes)
But nonetheless there are
children who were hit, wounded
or killed after they were hit in the
head. Unless these were
mistakes.
"If they were children, they were
mistakes."
Do they talk about this?
"They talk to us about this a lot.
They forbid us to shoot at
children."
How do they say this?
"You don't shoot a child who is
12 or younger."
That is, a child of 12 or older is
allowed?
"Twelve and up is allowed. He's
not a child any more, he's already
after his bar mitzvah. Something
like that."
Thirteen is bar mitzvah age.
"Twelve and up, you're allowed
to shoot. That's what they tell us."
Again: Twelve and up you're
allowed to shoot children.
"Because this already doesn't
look to me like a child by
definition, even though in the
United States a child can be 23."
Under international law, a child is
defined as someone up to the
age of 18.
"Up until 18 is a child?"
So, according to the IDF, it is 12?
"According to what the IDF says
to its soldiers. I don't know if this
is what the IDF says to the
media."
And children are from 12 down. Is
there no order that between 12
and 18 you shoot at the legs and
not the head?
"Of course we try to see to it that
he really is over 20."
In the 10 seconds that you have.
"In the 10 seconds that I have, I
have to estimate how old he is."
And in what direction the wind is
blowing, and the deviation here
and there, and which way he'll
jump the next moment.
"Yes, but there are hardly any
mistakes by sharpshooters. The
mistakes are made by people
who aren't sharpshooters."
And it turns out that they happen
to hit the children's heads, and all
this is just by chance?
"If you say you have seen
children that have been hit in the
head a lot, then it is
sharpshooters."
So what you're saying is that our
definition of children is different.
"Your definition is different."
Because for you it's someone
who is 12.
"Yes."
Nelson Mandela:
'Our freedom is not complete without the
freedom of the Palestinians.' - Boycotting
South African products, divesting or
choosing not to invest in South African
companies, and sanctioning or
diplomatically isolating South Africa
ultimately helped to peacefully bring to
an end South Africa's Apartheid regime.
It is time that world civil society turned
its attention toward Israel's crimes
against the Palestinian people; to
encourage, through peaceful boycott,
divestment and sanctions, a just peace
settlement which demands equal rights
for both Palestinians and Jews. Israel
currently does not respect this principle
in violation of international law.
