I don't understand this logic. IDF literally shooting someone is somehow less of a "use of a deadly weapon in a manner that can cause death" than throwing a stone at a car?
I get that they deemed the person dangerous, but shooting someone for throwing a stone is a slippery slope to all sorts of things, eg. Kettled protesters who start throwing stones at riot police. Should the police just mow them all down because rocks can be deadly?
I see you guys posting these ceasefire violation images all the time like it's some smoking gun for Ukraine being the aggressor in their defensive war.
Where does it show which troops the ceasefire violation was committed by? And why would ceasefire violations along an internal border like this warrant a full scale invasion from another country?
Oh I know rocks CAN be deadly. But so can lots of things. From the info in the article they were throwing rocks at cars, not IDF forces who are undoubtedly armoured to the teeth for greater stopping power than rocks.
Just seems strange to shoot someone for not obeying when they aren't directly threatening you, but the article is a bit light on actual details. Being the source that it is, I don't think they would hesitate to highlight the IDF were defending themselves if they actually were.
I don't think the other party are really trying to convince the quran burner they are wrong though, they just want them to stop defiling their most sacred object.
I don't really get the "I'm burning it for your own good" defence.
Burning any book doesn't help anything. Reading the Quran doesn't immediately convert you to Islam and alluding to that makes it seem even more powerful than it is.
All historical "dangerous books" should be read with some context and discussion.
Even if they are, it's an extremely unprofessional move on his part at the very least.
