The tape recording is of a three-way conversation between the army watchtower, the army post's operations room and the captain, who was a company commander.
The soldier in the watchtower radioed his colleagues after he saw Iman: "It's a little girl. She's running defensively eastward."
Operations room: "Are we talking about a girl under the age of 10?"
Watchtower: "A girl of about 10, she's behind the embankment, scared to death."
A few minutes later, Iman is shot in the leg from one of the army posts.
The watchtower: "I think that one of the positions took her out."
The company commander then moves in as Iman lies wounded and helpless.
Captain R: "I and another soldier ... are going in a little nearer, forward, to confirm the kill ... Receive a situation report. We fired and killed her ... I also confirmed the kill. Over."

After 50 years of trying to create a place safe from the intolerance of others, the zionist Jews have did nothing less than recreating the same murderous, unhuman regime that the Nazis imposed on their ancestors.

While I agree this event is terrible, I will point out that saying that "Zionist Jews" created this situation is to ignore the contributions of the Arab side in creating and perpetuating this conflict. Further, the comparison with Nazism is repugnant. The attrocities comitted by the Nazis were far more severe, and were based on race.

Absolutely disgusting. These guys killed a child that had already been shot and might've wandered into the area, or been sent their by the palestinian resistance? What the hell is wrong with them. I can understand wounding her, as terrible as it is they're in a war against an enemy that sends children after them, but once they came up on her? Are there at least some reports of her hiding something or any reason for this otherwise murder?

Not that this excuses anything, but she apparently had a schoolbag with her.
If you were fishing for rationalization, there is that.

To give info, she was 100 yards away and running further away from the soldiers. One soldier identified her as a scared 10 years old, running away.
She then got shot in her leg, and the captain ran towards the helpless child and emptied his clip -or close to that.

I had never heard that before. Why do you say that? I mean, how is it anti Jew?

There is clearly not.
JERUSALEM (AP) - A preliminary report presented to Israel's army chief Friday said it could not be proven that a platoon commander repeatedly shot a 13-year-old Palestinian girl to make sure she was dead, a security official said.

I'm not fishing for anything, I am curious as to why they'd shoot an unarmed wounded 12 year old girl...
