V.s. 18 year IDF lieutenant general brutally murdered by Hamas insurgent (killed by friendly fire)

The Palestinian 5 year old young man brutally murdered a brave 18-year-old IDF soldier by using him as a human shield from 150 feet away.

I interpreted that as the kid being shot in the back

Not if the child was facing west

But it's relative to the bullet. The child is moving towards it, so forwards.

No but if the shooter is east of the child and the child is facing west, the earth’s rotation will carry the bullet to the Palestinian child’s head backwards, with the bullet in stationary orbit around the earth. Rest in peace.

The bullet isn't moving, it's a fixed point in space.

I had the same thought then interpreted it as shot from behind.

That's what they're going for

Depends on how you define forward. If, forgetting that the innocent IOF bullet isn't moving, you assume it's got a direction, it'd be forward. But if forward is the child's front-facing side, then the child, in an act of manipulative self-injurious behaviour, as part of asymmetric warfare waged against the totally indigenous people of the region, moved backwards.

I think I'm going to throw up now.
