The Gaza family torn apart by IDF snipers from Chicago and Munich

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/09/the-gaza-family-torn-apart-by-idf-snipers-from-chicago-and-munich

Daniel Raab shows no hesitation as he watches footage of 19-year-old Salem Doghmosh crumpling to the ground beside his brother in a street in northern Gaza.

“That was my first elimination,” he says. The video, shot by a drone, lasts just a few seconds. The Palestinian teenager appears to be unarmed when he is shot in the head.

Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed.

“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”

Who are these people? Where did they come from? And don’t even try to tell me they claim to be Christian. They have no humanity. I simply want to cry. And cry…

As will all those who covered and lied for it.

As someone else used to say - History Will Not Be Kind.

This sniper and others like him are soulless automaton killing machines. I wonder how he would feel if that was his own brother or son? Oh, that's different, isn't it?

The Israeli military did not respond to specific questions about the killings of the Doghmosh family or rules of engagement, including the shooting of civilians recovering bodies. A spokesperson said its forces operated “in strict accordance with its rules of engagement and international law, taking feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm”.

International law protects unarmed individuals and the collection of bodies. (emphasis added) The shootings on Moneer al-Rayyes Street appeared to violate that, experts said. “The available evidence points to a war crime,” said Tom Dannenbaum, a professor of international law at Stanford law school.
