There have been hundreds of casualties.\u00a0 The blockade has been going on for nearly twelve years. Now it has been revealed that Israeli snipers are targeting the eyes of the Palestinian protesters (see the text below).<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6><em>It has also been revealed that the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) planned to form a group of snipers to shoot down Indigenous demonstrators protesting against the proposed construction of a pipeline on their territory.

However, Amarneh was far from unique; Israeli snipers targeting participants in Gaza\u2019s weekly Great Return March protests have aimed for the legs \u2013 and eyes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To date, Gaza\u2019s Ministry of Health reports that 50 protesters have been shot in the eye since the demonstrations began March 30, 2018 \u2013 leaving them permanently blind. \u201cSome of these protesters and journalists were hit in the eye with teargas canisters, but most were targeted directly with what is commonly called a \u2018rubber bullet,\u2019 giving the impression they are somehow benign,\u201d says Ashraf Alqedra, MD, a treating physician at Gaza City\u2019s al-Shifa Hospital and spokesperson for the Ministry of Health. \u201cBut there is still steel at the core, and although these bullets don\u2019t usually kill, they do grave damage. It is impossible to save an eye hit directly by a rubber-coated steel bullet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Mai Abu Rwedah: the most recent victim<\/em><\/strong><em> \u2014<\/em>\u00a0Mai Abu Rwedah, 20, grew up in north Gaza\u2019s al-Bureij Refugee Camp in a family of nine children supported by a father who works as a janitor for a UN school. She just graduated from university, hoping to start her professional life as a medical secretary and contribute her income. Abu Rwedah believes in using peaceful, but active, resistance to reclaim Palestinians\u2019 right to return to their ancestral homeland. So, she has joined participants in the Great Return March protest since its launch on March 30, 2018.\u00a0 But that dream was dealt a severe blow December 6, when she became the most recent Gazan to lose an eye to an Israeli bullet.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, stood with a few friends about 100 metres from the fence that marks the border between Gaza and Israel. She glimpsed an Israeli soldier waving and pointing his finger to his eye. \u201cHe was trying to intimidate me, but I was not afraid because I was doing nothing wrong. I wasn\u2019t even throwing stones,\u201d Abu Rwedeh recalls. The soldiers fired tear gas then, and Mai and her friends ran away, but still were in sight of the young man who had threatened her.\u00a0 \u201cHe was watching me; wherever I moved he kept watching. Then, suddenly, he raised his gun and pointed it at me. I was about to flee but he was too fast. He shot me in my eye.\u201d The bullet damaged her jaw as well. Doctors had to extract her right eye, since it was destroyed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adapted from:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2019\/12\/50-palestinian-protesters-have-been-blinded-by-shots-to-the-eye-at-gaza-fence-protests\/\">https:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2019\/12\/50-palestinian-protesters-have-been-blinded-by-shots-to-the-eye-at-gaza-fence-protests\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>See:<\/strong> <em>RCMP Planned Snipers<\/em><br \/>\n<u>https:\/\/thetyee.ca\/News\/2019\/12\/20\/RCMP-Planned-Snipers-Wetsuweten-Pipeline-Protest\/?utm_source=daily&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=201219<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Distributed by PAJU (Palestinian and Jewish Unity)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>PAJUMONTREAL.ORG\/EN<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50 Palestinian protesters have been blinded by shots to the eye at Gaza fence protests PAJU note: Israeli snipers- representing the \u201conly democracy in the Middle East\u201d \u2013 have been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bulletin","category-non-classifiee"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
