As the frail body of 12-year-old Nassir Al-Mosabeh fell to the ground on Friday, Sept. 28, history was repeating itself in a most tragic way.

Little Nassir was not just another number, a "martyr" to be exalted by equally poor refugees in Gaza, or vilified by Israel and its tireless hasbara machine. He was much more than that.

The stream of blood that poured out from his head wound on that terrible afternoon drew a line in time that traveled back 18 years.

Almost 18 years to-the-day separates Nassir's recent murder and the Israeli army killing of Mohammed Al-Durrah, also 12, on Sept. 30, 2000. Between these dates, hundreds of Palestinian children have perished in similar ways.

1. When you are in a large group using IED's and grenades to breech a national border...

....you aren't "murdered" by that country's military. You were shot in defense of their border. Not surprisingly either.

"The ministry in the Hamas-controlled strip said Nasser Mosabeh, 12, and Mohammed al-Houm, 14, were hit by sniper fire near the perimeter fence that surrounds one side of the 140 square mile coastal enclave.

Israel’s army said around 20,000 people had gathered at multiple sites along the frontier.

“The rioters sabotaged security infrastructure, attempted to cross the security fence and infiltrate into Israel in several locations and hurled over 100 (improvised explosive devices) and grenades towards IDF troops and the security fence,” the Israel Defence Forces said in a statement on Saturday. It said no IDF injuries were reported.

Troops “responded with riot dispersal means and operated in accordance with standard operating procedures”,the army said. Israeli aircraft also bombed two Hamas positions in response."
