IDF does it again

For those who claim to be followers of Torah Im Derech Eretz, you are required to read the following story and feel pain for this boy, an innocent bystander, who lost an eye to an IDF bullet.

Palestinian bystander, 14, loses eye from rubber bullet allegedly fired by IDF

Izz al-Din, 14, was in a vegetable shop Friday when Israeli soldiers used rubber bullets against protesters nearby; IDF neither confirms nor denies Israeli fire led to injury

"In a security camera video widely shared on social media, the boy can be seen standing in a vegetable shop when he is hit. Al-Batsh’s family claimed the clashes were not taking place next to the shop, but rather down the road. The young teenager does not seem to be participating in any demonstration, merely looking out into the street."

Sadly, the IDF did not take responsibility for this even though it's almost certain that the rubber bullet came from one of their guns. They were the ones doing the shooting. Is anybody else shooting rubber bullets besides them? If there were, you know they'd tell us so because already they magnify every action of protesters in order to attempt to justify the IDF or police response. We often say in the Jewish community that when the IDF makes a mistake, they own up to it. I believe we are lying to ourselves. 

"The land of the Law of God exists for the sake of human beings. Its most precious product, the purpose and goal of all the blessings bestowed upon it by God is every human soul that it nurtures and thus consecrates for the realization of God's law. The land is given to all the people only under the condition that they will regard every human life, which is sacred to the Law, as sacred and inviolable. Even one drop of innocent blood spilled unnoticed will drop a stitch form the bond that binds the land to the nation and both the land and the nation to God."

R' Samson Raphael Hirsch, Bamidbar 35:10, parshas Masse
