Israeli army chief admits West Bank troops kill Palestinians at unprecedented rates

Israeli army chief Maj Gen Avi Bluth said West Bank troops were "killing like we haven't killed since 1967," including fatally shooting Palestinian stone-throwers, according to leaked remarks to Haaretz. He acknowledged the military shoots Palestinian stone-throwers but not Jewish settlers doing the same, admitting "it involves discrimination." Bluth also justified shooting Palestinians at the knee to deter barrier crossings.
