An Israel Defense Forces soldier has posted an Instagram photo of what appears to be a Palestinian boy in the crosshairs of a sniper's rifle, prompting angry criticism after it was picked up by The Electronic Intifada and other news sites around the world over the weekend.

"This is what occupation looks like," representatives of Breaking the Silence, a group of IDF combat veterans who aim to raise public awareness of what happens in the territories, said on the group's Facebook page. "This is what military control over a civilian population looks like."

Shooting kids is real fucked up. Sighting in on a kids head & snapping a pic is supper fucked up. This is a diliberate psy-op by the IOF to intimidate the Palistinian( note that my iPhone did not correct the spelling or capitalization on that last word, unlike Jewish-ha!) population. Is the IOF that undisiplined to allow the release of such pic on social media? I think not...
