Blood on their hands
From Ha’aretz:
Israel says it cannot release political prisoners who “have blood on their hands.” The IDF officer who shot in cold blood Iman al-Hamas, a 13-year-old girl, has recently been exonerated and returned to the same unit.
Full story, a powerful piece by Amira Hass.
Jonathan Freedland wrote in the Jewish Chronicle on 3rd December last year about the killing of Iman al-Hamas

The very mainstream Union for Reform Judaism sends out a weekly piece on “Israel Connections” (with American Jewry). This one, written by an American-Israeli educator, uses the case of Iman al-Hamas to raise questions about how Diaspora Jews should react to such reports.
Another take on the shooting of Iman al-Hamas is that she was “murdered by the PLO and its Jewish leftist amen-chorus” (even though of course they were able to persuade an IDF officer to pull the trigger - many times).
