Israeli forces executed another teenage girl at a checkpoint in Hebron on Sunday. Her name was Dania Ersheid, she was 17 and a student at Al-Rayyan Girls’ High School. A witness at the scene, standing in back of Ersheid in line at the checkpoint adjacent the Ibrahimi Mosque, said the teen raised her arms and stated “I don’t have a knife” before she was shot with “eight to 10 bullets” before she fell to the ground.
Police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld tweeted Ersheid was a “Female Arab terrorist” who attempted to stab a police officer with knife. The police responded, “and neutralized her“.

Youth Against Settlements requested the military release video of the killing because the entire area is under surveillance by CCTV cameras.
CNN reports: Palestinian woman shot dead; Israelis say she was armed, witness disputes it.
‘I don’t have a knife’
A Hebron resident, who asked not to be identified, told CNN he was next in line at the checkpoint — some 4 meters away — when the incident occurred.
“There were seven or eight soldiers around her. The soldiers checked her belongings in a school bag. She looked like she was around 14 years old,” he said.
“She went through a metal detector. In the school bag they found nothing and asked her, ‘Where’s the knife?’ She said, ‘I don’t have a knife.’ Then they fired between her legs. She was terrified and moved back half a meter or a meter.
“She raised her arms in the air saying ‘I don’t have a knife.’ Then they shot eight to 10 bullets, but I don’t know exactly who was shooting. Then she fell on the ground.”
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA also described the woman as a schoolgirl, quoting witnesses as saying Israeli soldiers had prevented medics from reaching her.
Issa Amer, director of Youth Against Settlements, a Palestinian nonprofit that monitors and documents settler violence and military activity in Hebron, said the group had no information on this specific incident, but “the woman had to go through two metal detectors and revolving doors. This means that her belongings were checked. Also, we call on the military to release video of the incident because there are several CCTV surveillance cameras that record everything in that area.”
The International Solidarity Movement reports:
While she [Ersheid] lay on the ground bleeding from her neck, no first aid was given, not even the Israeli ambulance that arrived after about twenty minutes gave any medical help. A Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance was denied entry to the scene and ordered by soldiers to leave.
…..Dania is already the third girl killed by Israeli soldiers in al-Khalil within a month.
The circumstances sound eerily similar to the “extrajudicial execution” of Hadil al-Hashlamoun in Hebron on September 22. Hashlamoun was left on the ground for 45 minutes, she bled to death.
Jeez… I’m gonna puke. I am filled with rage my tax dollars enable this. I go out & about, seething inside, not a word about it do I ever hear. I turn on TV news: same thing. I watch congress via C-SPAN. Nothing there either. The View, The Five, Hagee, all on mainline TV every day. Maury, Springer, etc. On Cspan WJ, the host mostly cuts off anybody critical of Israel, doesn’t field caller’s issues to the guest; when he/she (rarely) does so, guest glibly responds with boilerplate hasbara–host never follows up on that. That’s the best we got, we nation of 320 million souls holding sole superpower status (& just look at that motley crew running for primetime POTUS)?

Every day – as they have been doing for decades – Zio-supremacists work hard to degenerate from hateful and immoral to evil.
Every day, they get that much closer to realizing their goal.
Does anyone else notice that the violence against Palestinian women has increased of late? I know it’s always there but I don’t believe there was this much killing during the first intifada.
It’s just getting darker and darker. My condolences to another Palestinian family mourning their loved one.
This is despicable and should galvanize opposition to this inhuman regime which in my opinion is living on borrowed time, my advice to supporters of Palestinian resistance is..don’t get mad, get even.
Unlike with Hadil they don`t appear to have dragged her body away like a dead animal carcass or perhaps that happened subsequently off camera. Neverthless yet again Israeli “Land of Creation” manhood at its finest. Leaving a 17 year old girl on the ground with zero dignity to be goggled at by their fellow lunatics. They should feel sooooo proud of their brave achievement.
Has the wretched Micky Rosenfeld made a single statement in his career that wasn’t a lie?

Unbelievable:
“A class-action lawsuit against Facebook is accusing the social media platform of ignoring widespread Palestinian posts calling for violence against Jews.
In the suit filed Monday in New York State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, the 20,000 Israeli plaintiffs claim the Facebook posts have inspired many recent terror attacks and that “Facebook’s algorithms and platform connects inciters to terrorists who are further encouraged to perpetrate stabbings and other violence attacks against Israelis.”…
…The lead plaintiff, Richard Lankin, 76, is in critical condition after having been shot and stabbed by Palestinian terrorists while riding on a crowded Jerusalem bus on Oct. 13. Two Israelis were killed and more than 20 were wounded in the attack.
Three attorneys — Robert Tolchin of New York; Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the director of the Shurat HaDin-Israel Law Center, and Asher Perlin of Fort Lauderdale, Florida — filed the suit.
In a news release issued by her organization, Darshan-Leitner said, “Facebook wields tremendous power and this publicly traded company needs to utilize it in a way that ensures that Palestinian extremists who are calling to stab Israelis and glorifying the terrorist that do, are not permitted to do it on its platform.”…”

Good news is that the boy severely wounded in the knife attack carried out by 13 and 15 year old assailants -one of whom President Abbas erroneously claimed had been “executed” – has recovered.
“or send in a submission”
Yes, or that, too. What on earth is “Jon s” trying to accomplish with this tit-for-tat of deaths? Do we now proceed to judge Larkin’s worth as opposed to the 17 yr. old Palestinian girl in the article?
As American feminists and supporters of the Black Lives Matter campaign, we must stand arm in arm in solidarity with our besieged, bloodied and murdered Palestinian sisters and brothers.
In the U.S. black teenage girls are – in the supposed security of their schools – thrown around and pinned to the floor by White police officers, and then arrested. In Palestine, innocent Palestinian teenage girls are – in their own homeland – shot to death by Israeli soldiers, and then demonized even in death.
The parallels are strikingly clear.
If we address oppression in the U.S. while silently paying for the even more acute oppression in Palestine, we will be complicit and cowardly hypocrites.
We must fight.
Fight for the Palestinians, for the African Americans, for the girls and the boys:
for ourselves.
i can’t stop thinking about her, dania. what woman would she have become? what is our world missing without her? i miss her. i can’t help it. it’s all so cruel and unfair. i mourn for her family. i can’t let her out of my mind. she was a person, probably in so many ways just like me. just like us. dania, i feel such a loss. and she can’t even hear me. i hope, i hope her loss (of her life, her sacrifice, her martyrdom) brings some kind of awareness or release. i must trust/hope her death is not in vain. but how long can this intentional genocide of palestinians continue before mankind ends it? how long. how many dania’s and hadil’s lives will be sacrificed? it’s unbearable some days but nothing compared to what their families suffer. nothing compared to what palestine suffers. but still ..it is unbearable.
We are going to have a visit from the lying war criminal, soon. He has been “invited’ to speak at a progressive group, who seem to have done the bidding of the lobby and lost three writers who wrote controversial pieces about the Israeli occupation. The Nutty Yahoo has this thing for inviting himself to places he really is not welcome, some ego problem I think.
Netanyahu Successfully Lobbies To Address Progressive Think Tank During DC Visit
“He’s looking for that progressive validation,” said a former Center for American Progress staffer.
“CAP’s relationship with AIPAC and its allies is fraught. Three years ago, CAP employed policy analyst Matt Duss, and its publication ThinkProgress employed Ali Gharib and Eli Clifton; all three wrote controversial pieces challenging the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. Pro-Israel lobbyists pushed hard against CAP, and all three felt the pressure and have since left.
Although CAP periodically issued statements in support of the Iran nuclear deal, it was conspicuously restrained in its advocacy efforts. “An order came down that CAP was not going to engage in a big way on the Iran deal,” said a second former staffer. “Considering this was the biggest item on Obama’s foreign policy agenda in both terms, the lack of engagement was hard not to notice.”
To Gharib, who is now a contributor to The Nation, the organization’s decision to host Netanyahu was predictable. “It’s just not surprising that if CAP is going to be willing to kowtow to the right wing, pro-Israel lobby when it comes to throwing their own staffers under the bus, that they’d give a platform to the bigoted right-wing head of the Israeli government,” he said.”
