Hamas rules Gaza by assassination and fear. They kill other Palestinians with guns and other things all the time. They shoot parents in front of their kids and vice verse to stay in power. The Iranian immamate and Qatari royals don't pay people to post about it online all day, though, so Al Jazeera doesn't write about it and Guardian doesn't retweet about it, and that's the truth of the matter. The evidence is staring you in the face.
Doesn't the idea of trained, uniformed soldiers, subject to a very robust, open legal system, as well as a military code of justice enforced by courts martial, sniping kids in the head for sport sound unbelievable? I posit that not only does it sound unbelievable, but that is actually is unbelievable; that if you were being rational, you should not and would not believe it.
No, no doctor anywhere in the world can determine the identity and motive of an individual from a bullet wound. This article's presumption to the contrary defies obvious logic and physics. Think about it for five seconds. Terminal ballistics has nothing to do with identifying the shooter or motive.
In no court of law in America would these doctors testimony be admitted as identification evidence or to explain motive, and you must know this to be true. Should read more critically, slow down.
"Q. Wait, you’re saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?
A. Definitively. I have two children that I have photographs of, that were shot so perfectly in their chest I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately
. And directly on the side of the head, in the same child, no toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the world’s best sniper, and they are dead center shots."
Tell me this, how much personal experience do YOU have with sniper victims? None? Yeah, forgive me for taking the word of a medical expert over an internet expert.
This isn't about taking the doctor's medical opinion over someone without a medical degree and practical experience. Read the doctor's own words. What he is saying does not follow or make logical sense.
A doctor cannot distinguish two bullet wounds as from rounds aimed and fired by a sniper or two rounds fired by a drunk with a pistol, or by two stray bullets, or even by one stray bullet, or even by one piece of shrapnel, if it's through and through. Do you not know about bullets?
The sniper doctor said in his own words that his opinion was based on what cannot be described as anything other than wild speculation.
