Meet Tarek Loubani, the Canadian Doctor Shot by Israeli Forces Monday While Treating Gaza's Wounded (Transcript)

As Palestinians vow to continue protesting against the Israeli occupation of Gaza, we speak to a Canadian doctor who was shot by Israeli forces in both legs Monday [May 14] while he was helping injured Palestinians. Israeli forces shot dead at least 61 unarmed Palestinian protesters taking part in the Great March of Return Monday, including one doctor. Canada, Britain, Germany, Ireland, and Belgium have called for an investigation into the killings. The United Nations Human Rights Council has announced that it will hold a special session Friday to discuss escalating violence in Gaza. We speak with Dr. Tarek Loubani, an emergency room medical doctor, one of 19 medical personnel shot in Gaza on Monday.

Pacifica Radio KPFK has a partial audio file, available till mid-July, ~7MB for the story. (KPFK is in fund drive mode.)
Gaza coverage begins at 13:25. The doctor's story is from 15:15 - 31:30.
He notes that the doctor who treated him was subsequently shot, resulting in his death--this, while he was wearing high-visibility clothing to denote his first-responder status.

    oh yeah, it's just whites/Europeans that "genocided" people for land... there could have been(probably were in at least some places) "white people" in north america before the "native" mongoloids arrived, who were then genocided by the "natives" before the next wave of whites came and returned the favor. there is much history that is hidden and regurgitating controller propaganda doesn't make it true.

    I don't think you have so much as a single shred of evidence to back that theory up.

    But, the Native Americans did indeed engage in genocidal war. Tecumseh's biography revealed that his grandfather's, or great-grandfather's generation completed the genocide of a death worshipping, cannibalistic tribe in Kentucky. To fill in details, I'd have to search for the book I read, re-read it, and then get back to you. All of which is kind of difficult, since I can't remember which author, of many who wrote biographical sketches and stories about Tecumseh.

    The Shawnee considered Kentucky to be haunted, and they would not allow the sun to set on their red asses in Kentucky. A day hunt was fine, but no camping on the south side of the river.
