Editor,
An Israeli army officer who shot a 13-year-old Palestinian girl 17 times was recently acquitted on all charges by an Israeli court. The little girl, Iman Al-Hams, ventured near an Israeli army post close to the Rafah refugee camp near Gaza, when the officer unloaded his entire magazine on the Palestinian girl.
The officer also reportedly said that he would have killed the girl, even if it was a 3-year-old. Witnesses reported seeing the captain shoot Al-Hams in the head twice, walk away, then turn around and shower the little girl’s body in bullets. When will Israel end its acts of terrorism? When will America finally realize that the root of the Middle East’s problems is the racist ideology of Zionism?
