Report: Human Rights Organizations Refuse to Comment on Video of Palestinian Father

The father of this toddler deserves a special place in hell....

Report: Human Rights Organizations Refuse to Comment on Video of Palestinian Father Calling on Israeli Border Police to Shoot Toddler (VIDEO)

Human rights organizations have refused to comment on footage of a Palestinian father pushing his young child to provoke Israeli Border Police into shooting him, Israeli Channel 1’s English news reported on Sunday.

According to IBA News, the video clip of a weekly Palestinian protest at Nilin in the West Bank, originally uploaded to YouTube, has received more than 100,000 views on the Facebook wall of IDF foreign press spokesman Peter Lerner since Saturday. It shows the flag-waving toddler approaching the armed policemen, one of whom responds with a high five. The father then urges the boy to pelt the officers with stones.

According to IBA anchor Eylon Aslan-Levy, Amnesty International told the media outlet that it was “unable to comment,” and Human Rights Watch failed to respond to repeated requests for a statement.

Any Human Rights group refusing to comment on this is a disgrace & part of the problem.

giving the little guy a high-five instead of shooting him. What won't they do?

who has obviously let his hatred of Israeli's drive him completely insane. Serving up your child the way that video shows is so sick, it's barely human.

As for the 2 year old, throwing rocks at IDF soldiers is a natural reaction....

Or so I'm told.

that underline why support for Israel is so strong over that of the Palestinians among Americans. I know that appears to puzzle some people (and drive them crazy) but here it is, only one of the reasons.
