Israeli police tonight shot and killed a Palestinian man in Jerusalem’s Old City, according to witnesses and the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The Red Crescent said police did not allow its crews to reach the Palestinian man, who hasn’t been identified yet, as he laid bleeding on the ground near Bab Hutta, one of the gates leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City.

Israeli police claim it shot and “neutralized” a Palestinian after stabbing and lightly injuring one officer.
Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces shot and injured a deaf and mute man at a checkpoint north of Jerusalem after suspecting he had a knife, but police later said he was unarmed.

Pilger is correct, our media just like our politicians,is deaf, blind & dumb whenever Palestine is being raped by the apartheid Israeli regime. There is no mention of the bombing of Gaza, for example.Lack of democracy & police violence in Hong Kong & Byelorus get the lion’s share of attention even though Palestine is suffering even worse abuses for 72 years. We have to pester politicians for Palestine, lay siege to Israeli embassies and support the Palestine Chronicle.
