Majority of Jewish-Israelis think Palestinian terrorists should be

A few recent video images are being cited by Palestinians and by Israeli human rights groups to back up their long-standing allegations that Israeli soldiers have used excessive force.

Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 73-year-old Palestinian woman at a West Bank gas station on Friday in what the Israeli military alleged was an attempt to attack them with her vehicle.

In a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon, Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour Riyad Mansour said that the bodies of the Palestinians killed by Israeli forces are “returned with missing corneas and other organs, further confirming past reports about organ harvesting by the occupying power”.

Palestine has accused Israel of harvesting the organs of Palestinians killed in clashes with Israeli forces in the occupied territories, saying it people were being subjected to “persistent aggression”.

In Gaza, rock-throwing protesters gathered near the border fence with Israel and were fired on by troops on the other side.

Later Friday, two Israelis were wounded, one of them severely, near the Tomb of Patriarchs in Hebron from a driveby shooting.

Israeli troops searching the site of the attack found a cache of firebombs and a few stones.

In a separate incident Friday, a 40-year-old Israeli was stabbed and seriously wounded at Sha’ar Binyamin Industrial Park in a settlement near Ramallah.

Seventy-three Palestinians and an Arab-Israeli have been killed since a wave of violence began on October 1.

The latest violence came after almost two months of Israeli-Palestinian confrontations.

Eighty percent of Jewish-Israelis said Palestinian homes should be razed if the homeowner or a family member carries out an attack “for nationalist reasons”, while 53 percent see this as an appropriate punishment for a Jewish person who carries out a nationalist-motivated terror attack.

The walled compound in Jerusalem, known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, is a frequent flashpoint and its fate is a core issue at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
