The deaths of 24-year-old Maram and her 16-year-old brother, Ibrahim Taha, raise new questions about Israel’s use of lethal force against Palestinians with knives.
Sarit Michaeli of the Israeli rights group B’Tselem said Thursday that it often finds the “degree of threat posed by the individual was much lower than was claimed by security forces.”
Israeli police says troops shot the Taha siblings on Wednesday after they ignored calls to stop and Maram threw a knife at a policeman.
Since September, 28 Israelis and two Americans have been killed by Palestinians, while some 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis, mostly in what Israel says were attacks or attempted attacks.
these soldiers must be tried for murder.

That line is unbelievable to me. What was the Palestinians intention with those knives?

Why Does Vos Iz Neias print vicious Arab lies about Israel? VIN staff are Israel haters and cause harm to all Klal Yisroel . Here is the true story from JEWISH news outlets: :
Male and Female Terrorist launch knife attack at Kalandiya checkpoint before being shot dead by alert officers. A stabbing attempt took place on Wednesday at the Kalandiya checkpoint in northern Jerusalem. Two Arab terrorists, one male and one female, launched the attack before being shot dead.
The knife-wielding terrorists tried to stab the Border Police officers stationed at the checkpoint, but did not manage to inflict any wounds before being subdued.
As the armed Arabs approached, the officers repeatedly called for them to stop, but the terrorists continued to rapidly advance even threw a knife at the officers, at which point the forces opened fire.
They should have thrown the parents in jail as well.
See, this is exactly the problem when we give these arabs a “finger”. Now that that innocent chayal involved in the shooting in Chevron is being tried for manslaughter, these arabs will now use this to their advantage and cry foul every time one of their family terrorists are killed. I predicted this and it is coming true. These are a people whose culture is made up of lying. They are wild and uncouth and we should not be dealing with them as though they are from a typical civilization. With them black has to be black and white has to be white. You come to kill Jews, you run the risk of being killed. You let Jews live, and so do you.
Kill them all and feed the bodies to the pigs!!! דמד
When i read this disgusting anti Israel headline of yours,i was sure i am reading something from Al Jazzera or that antisemitic Jew hating rag ” Der Yid (der goy)
shame on you VIN for regurgitating and vomiting out Arab lies and blood libels.
