Gaza City - An 18-month-old Palestinian boy was shot in the neck on Wednesday as Israeli forces guarding a Jewish settlement opened fire on the refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip town, Palestinian security and medical officials said.
Eliyan al-Bashiti was in critical condition after soldiers manning the Gadid settlement opened fire on Khan Yunis, the scene of frequent exchanges of fire between Palestinian gunmen and Israeli troops, the officials said.
Palestinian security officials said the toddler had been in his home when he was hit.
Israeli military sources said that Palestinian militants had fired five home-made mortar rounds on the neigbouring settlement of Neve Dekalim earlier in the day, but could not immediately confirm that troops had returned fire.

These bastard Palestinians

Fancy producing a child near a Jewish settlement!
Is that not the worst of terror -to breed your own human shields?
Crack squads of Palestinian mothers are training in the desert right now, catching bullets in Barbie dolls ready to provide propaganda for the fascist Arab terrorists...
Damn - that didn't work.
I thought if I tried irony, it would make the murder of an innocent child seem more bearable.
It doesn't.
The Israelis are the occupying force - it's up to them to minimise civilian casualties. If they go on killing the innocents in this way, they are in clear breach of their duties under the UN charter, and need to be punished by the international community.
We need sanctions, boycotts, and possibly an invasion by international forces to stop these bastards - but while America supports thewm, it isn't going to happen. The despair is enough to make a man cry.
Bastards.
