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 peace-
fully 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.
