The killing of Muhammad al-Durrah
On this day, 23 years ago during the Second Intifada, a Palestinian child was shot dead by the lsraeli occupation forces and died in the arms of his father who was trying to protect him.

State schools receive £5,500 per pupil, that is it.

In 2007 a U.S. Apache helicopter fired at civilians in Baghdad, killing at least nine, including a Reuters news photographer & his driver. It fired on the ‘ambulance’. Those in the helicopter can be heard saying “light ‘em up”.
