PA Forces Kill Child

As LGF correctly notes- imagine the uproar if Israeli soldiers had shot dead a child who didn't stop when approaching one of their checkpoints. Now note the casual disinterest of the MSM when the Palestinian security forces do just that.

Palestinian Authority security forces shot dead two Palestinians on Saturday, including a five-year-old boy, in the West Bank city of Qalqilyah.

According to local resident, security forces opened fire after a 22-year-old man refused to stop at a PA roadblock in the city. The 22-year-old man was killed, as was five-year-old Yazid Obid.

The BBC, for example, don't even have the story on their Middle East page at all. Think the situation would be the same if the IDF had pulled the trigger instead?

Note this too, aPA roadblock in the West Bank- isn't it the Palestinians who are always complaining about Israeli checkpoints designed to stop terrorists killing civilians? Don't seem to have a problem doing the same thing themselves though.
