Europe Investigates Old Sniper 'Tourism' as New Horror Unfolds
While Italy belatedly investigates foreign nationals who paid to shoot civilians in Sarajevo during the 1990s, the same European media outlets are conspicuously silent on documented reports of professional snipers targeting aid seekers and children in Gaza, right now. The UN Human Rights Office reported in February 2024 on snipers systematically killing and injuring unarmed Palestinians, including
at the Nasser Medical Complex, often involving shots to the head and chest. One might wonder if justice has a two-decade-long backlog. It's almost as if the 'international community' can only muster indignation for atrocities committed comfortably in the rearview mirror, particularly when the perpetrators aren't their allies. Do these 'tourists' face justice while billions in military aid continue
to flow to those accused of committing similar acts today? How many generations must pass before modern barbarities become 'historical investigations' worthy of Europe's attention?
