Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death, video shows

Last November, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy named Jad Jadallah was shot at close range by Israeli soldiers in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

As Jad lay collapsed in an alley, the soldiers created a cordon around him and blocked two Palestinian ambulances from reaching him.

According to video footage and eyewitness testimony, the soldiers – 14 in total – then stood around Jad casually for at least 45 minutes while he bled from one or more gunshot wounds.

All Israeli soldiers receive training in trauma treatment, and any Israeli combat unit should contain a specifically trained medic, but none of the soldiers appeared to give Jad life-saving medical aid. At points, they appeared to ignore repeated attempts from Jad to get their attention.

May peace come to all. 😢

The Talmudic phrase "Whoever saves a single life is considered by Scripture to have saved the whole world" is derived from Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5. The Hebrew, focusing on the preservation of a human soul/life, is:
"וכל המקיים נפש אחת, מעלין עליו כאילו קיים עולם מלא"

"May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you" (Ya'er Adonai panav eleikha vihuneka)

To separate the actions of religious leaders and their supposed strong believers from the normal everyday people with religious people that I know. I'm pretty much fed up with followers of the god of Abraham with the exception of the ones I know personally.
