Andersons, meet Corries: Tristan Anderson’s family calls for full investigation of son’s shooting

Anderson
From the Associated Press in Jerusalem:

The Andersons, of Grass Valley, Calif., held back tears Monday as they described their son's critical condition. "We don't know if he'll recover, and if he does, we don't know what abilities he will ever regain," his mother, Nancy, told reporters.

His father, Mike, said Israel must "take full responsibility for the shooting of our son."

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Anderson's injury was "an extremely regrettable result of rioting."

The incident is under investigation, the Israeli military has said, though it is not clear if police will investigate separately.

This was not a riot; it was a nonviolent protest against the illegal wall in Ni'lin. As my tipster says, "The amount of lying and self-denial is breathtaking and
pathological."
