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.

Here we see the native troglodyte wallowing in his violent nature ready to condemn the victims of fellow troglodytes. Hypocrisy is second nature to these creatures so it is safest to presume that everything they say is a lie.

You went to the movies, and sat enraptured by the gunfire, explosions, and bodies hitting the ground - and you post this clap-trap? Who is the hypocrit here? I admit that I am a member of a violent society, and that I may have performed violent acts in the past? THAT is hypocrisy?
You should invest in a better dictionary. Maybe you should consider going back to school.

For someone condemning the violent nature of the US you shouldn't then turn around and say the victims of a war crime deserved it. I guess that bit of irony escapes you and you don't understand how your own statement encourages the culture of violence.
Perhaps college would have been a better choice than the Navy?

The dodo bird didn't "deserve" to go extinct, did it? It did, though. Darwin.
