Trudeau Demands Probe of Why Israeli Soldiers Shot Canadian Doctor in Gaza
Albawaba News ^ | 05/17/2018

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for an investigation into why Israeli soldiers shot a Canadian doctor in Gaza.

Dr. Tarek Loubani was in the Gaza Strip Sunday providing medical services to protesters when Israeli soldiers shot him multiple times in his legs. Loubani, who was wearing clothing that identified him as a medical services provider, survived the shooting,

The incident happened during a protest against the U.S. embassy opening in Jerusalem in which Israeli soldiers killed at least 59 Palestinians and wounded many others.

"Canada deplores and is gravely concerned by the violence in the Gaza Strip that has led to a tragic loss of life and injured countless people," Trudeau said in a statement. "We are appalled that Dr. Tarek Loubani, a Canadian citizen, is among the wounded -- along with so many unarmed people, including civilians, members of the media, first responders, and children."

Trudeau added: "Reported use of excessive force and live ammunition is inexcusable. It is imperative we establish the facts of what is happening in Gaza. Canada calls for an immediate independent investigation to thoroughly examine the facts on the ground -- including any incitement, violence, and the excessive use of force.

Loubani is an emergency physician at the London Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, Canada, according to the Toronto Star. He was working with the Shifa Hospital in Gaza when he went to the protest location to provide emergency medical attention to victims who were attacked by the Israeli Defense Forces

Geneva Convention does not apply in this situation.

When the bullets start flying, they don’t always hit their intended targets............

No kidding, EV.

Maybe I’m too pro Israel. But they need all the help they can get.

Maybe I have some blood of my great-great-grandfather, who was a devout Catholic but fell in love with the
Jewish girl. He was from Scotland was shunned by his family for marrying her. ;)

Times were different in the 1800s.:-)

Israel is stopping medical supplies? I don’t think so.

They are God’s chosen people in my opinion, I think the Bible says so, and they are fighting for survival.

And I was brought up as a Protestant. LOL!

medics tending wounded on the battle field do not get shot

Ask a few combat medics from the Nam era how that little 'rule' worked out for them. Next to the radioman ID'd by the antenna, medic insignia drew fire like crazy.

Well, Trudeau was a Drama teacher. So he’s the most intelligent person in the world except for Barack Obama. LOL

After all, neither Trudeau nor Obama turned a lot of money into 10 times fold. As our current president did

Allowed? I think they’re commanded to. Oh sorry I just saw you at the rest of your post but yes you’re right. I don’t think there’s any other religion that requires people to kill others.

Someone used to have a a photo with the caption everything I know about Islam I learned on 9/11. It showed an airplane crashing into the second World Trade Center, any of us who were alive at that time will never forget that day.
