Captain ‘R’ is compensated, Iman is still dead

You may remember when I first posted this story when it happen.

This officer’s peers, turned him in when he murdered poor Imam, but the state found him free.
Now they are rewarding him!

IDF officer cleared in death of Gaza girl to receive compensation from state
By Amos Harel, Haaretz correspondent
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/697464.html

A Givati Brigade officer will receive NIS 80,000 in compensation from the state after he was cleared of all charges in relating to the death of 13-year-old Palestinian girl, Iman Al Hamas, in the much-publicized “confirmed kill” affair.

Captain “R” will receive NIS 80,000 in compensation from the state in addition to reimbursement for NIS 2,000 of legal expenses, as part of an arrangement reached between his lawyers and the military prosecution.

The agreement was made official Wednesday in the Israel Defense Forces’s Southern Command court.

The officer, who at the time of the incident was serving as a company commander in the Givati infantry brigade’s Shaked battalion, has since been promoted to major, and is currently serving as an operations officer in the brigade.

The judges who acquitted Captain R accepted his version of event, in which he stated that the shots that he fired were not aimed directly at the girl’s body. Captain R told the court he opened fire in order to create a deterrence, and that he believed that the young girl posed a serious threat.

The judges also criticized the Military Police’s investigation of the case, which was based upon a poor transcription of recorded evidence and upon the testimonies of disgruntled soldiers serving under Captain R.

In memory of Iman; Record of a shooting:

Watchtower
‘It’s a little girl. She’s running defensively eastward’

Operations room
‘Are we talking about a girl under the age of 10?’

Watchtower
‘A girl of about 10, she’s behind the embankment, scared to death’

Captain R (after killing the girl)
‘Anything moving in the zone, even a three-year-old, needs to be killed’

    Please don’t blame Captain R. He was just using his God given right of his nation to target practice. Just like Cheney out quail hunting.
    If a young girl gets into his sights, that is not his problem. He is doing his job.
    Bullshit, bullshit!
    If Bush can lie, why can’t the Israelies lie. They are learning from the best.
    If the right is right, that must mean the left is left.
    I am left handed. That must mean that I will never be right.
    I’m getting lost here.
    Right and left. How about going up the center?
    How about the truth about Jewish lies?
    How about giving the Palestinians their land back without killing any more of them?

    Kimmy, could it be that Bush learned from the Israelis?

    Bashir,
    Fundamentalist Christianity (to a great extent) is partnered with Zionism. Our current administration is made up mostly of Christian fundamentalists and out and out Zionists. These fruitcake fundamentalists (not the rational ones)
    believe that in order to achieve the “rapture” (Armageddon where all the good guys go straight to heaven) the “Temple Mount” must be restored. The “Temple Mount” as I’m sure you know is the actual restoration of King Soloman’s temple as a Judaic pinnacle of success. Supporting Israel MUST be a part of true fundamentalism in order for them to get the “fast pass” to heaven. That this is what is behind so much of our current administration’s policy is blood curdling. I’d rather have them consult an astrologist than use this as a means of directing policy. At least you know the astrologist doesn’t have a political agenda! The US past administrations supported Israel mostly due to Zionist pressure and the laying on of guilt of the holocost. Our current administration’s policies go hand in hand with Zionism and did not necessarily “learn” from them but believe this as their own ingrained morality. THAT is what is so frightening to those of us in the States who believe that both are extreme and dangerous. Hope I made sense.

    King George is the ruler of the Royalty of the United States.
    He can do no wrong! God told him to invade Afghan and Iraq.
    We bow in His prescence. We kiss His derriere. His smirk makes us want to kiss him but if you are a male He has to kill us. It is only fair because He hates gays.
    Muslims are terrorist and not followers of His God. He will condemn them to death. He is the All Mighty and He is the Truth.
    Whatever. Impeach the bastard.
    Lies only go so far and then you have to make up your mind.
    Sorry, God told me that King George is right.
    I bow before Him.

    Iman Al Hamas, Mohammed Addourra , and hundreds of other innocent Palestinian kids killed by the zionist killing machine prove the cruelty and the pitilessness of the zionist as a racist political movment supported and protected by the US administration.They deliberately kill kids as they see in them future resistants to their illigitimate occupation of Palestine.
