        You watch the video? He held it above his own head towards the sky.

          Course the fucking clown didn’t watch the video. Guy has no understanding of sectarian violence and apartheid at all.

            Do you think it’s appropriate to run around with fireworks in the middle of an armed conflict?

            Especially if it’s what you idealistic, online types say and it’s a “genocide” and an “apartheid state”, do you really see any other way this would end?

            So here’s a challenge for the non-fucking clown. Take the fireworks, got into the police station and set fire to it. See how that goes for you. Shithead.

          I saw the video, he was firing fireworks towards what looked like a fenced border wall, likely manned with soldiers.

          Should that fence and other shit be there? Probably not.

          Should you be shooting fireworks at armed fortifications during an invasion? Definitely not.

          That kid resisted the invasion with the tools he had, he fought and lost.

          Regardless, it’s a stupid thing to do. Am sorry for the loss of life, but I didn’t expect anything else to happen. Go during any protest and do the same, in any country. And see how the police reacts. You’ll be the first target for water cannon or batons. Idea of having potentially hazardous thing pointed at you makes them a priority target. Simple as that.

        Fuck off. When the troubles where on in northern Ireland the Brits and the ruc weren’t shooting up prods when setting off fireworks and bonfires on the twelfth. But they targeted Catholics using whatever excuse they could think off. Israels doing the same shit, any excuse to kill people seen as less human.

          If you think it’s okay for your kid to go to military, during conflict and fire fireworks at them or close to them, then you are shit parent. And no, what am saying is not complete shit, it’s just pure logic. People are dying by the thousands and you think “let’s poke it with a stick” is a reasonable action?

          Nope. Used it in original context… that is of lacking intelligence. But sure, you do you. Fight some more battles over which words offend and which don’t without realizing it’s the meaning behind the word that matters, not the sound it makes.

        It’s either that or he just shot fireworks in the air at the start of Ramadan nowhere close to hitting any soldiers.

          It looks like he’s shooting it a giant wall with fencing on top of it. Likely the same giant wall with fencing on it where he got shot from.

            The firework goes like 3 metres up in the air. The IDF must have been fearing for their lives from that hand launched mortar.

        He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.

    How the hell are fireworks legal in Palestine? Like if they aren’t illegal that blows my mind, they are illegal in my country and we aren’t a war torn occupied territory. And if they were smuggled in, why?
