Update: Al Jazeera reports the Palestinian person killed by the Israeli settler yesterday (video below) was teenager Fadel al-Kawasmeh, 18. Also, violent settlers went on a rampage last night attacking Palestinian homes:
18-year-old Fadel al-Kawasmeh was killed by a settler on Saturday afternoon. Palestinians dispute the accusation that the teen had tried to stab the settler.
“The situation is very tense after Kawasmeh was assassinated by the settler,” Amro said. “Hundreds of settlers attacked Palestinian homes near the Kiryat Arba settlement overnight. People defended their homes with rocks and molotov cocktails.
“People are very scared here. Parents aren’t sending their kids to school and a lot of people aren’t going to work,” he added. “The settlers are even more violent than the soldiers.”
Original:
An Israeli civilian shot and killed a Palestinian teen in Hebron today. The killer claimed the Palestinian intended to harm him. The aftermath of the murder was released on video by Youth Against Settlements. The killer, all in white, shows no sign of being attacked.
This video is disturbing. Questions have been raised over an exchange between two of the soldiers who appear to be passing something from one to another at 13 seconds in the video.
What’s he passing to the soldier?
In order to justify their murder , they put a knife next to his body ONE SOLDIER IS GIVING A KNIFE TO ANOTHER (0.13) pic.twitter.com/9Ns9SGNvDM

Screenshots:
The soldier appears to lean over a body (corpse) lying on the ground:
Dead men tell no tales. They can’t tell the truth, provide testimony or speak for themselves. Are we watching a set up?
Thank you Annie, your efforts and those here at MW continues to give me hope.
This coverage is all truly appreciated.
The suspicion is nonsense
A) unlike a surveillance camera, it’s quite unsteady
B) @- 00:08 you can see the soldier nearest the body talking on a phone. It’s in his left hand. @- 00:10 he hands it to the other soldier. It’s traveling AWAY from the body
Never the less, WTF is an armed and illegal Israel civilian doing in non-Israeli territory? Why wasn’t he wearing the required clearly distinguishable military emblem? Why wasn’t he arrested, taken back to Israel and charged?
Interesting:
– At around the 5- to 8-second mark, there is very clearly nothing on the ground between the soldier’s feet and the body. At that point, the soldier is briefly seen talking on a phone/radio.
– At the 13- to 14-second mark, the soldier is handed something, which he appears immediately to drop next to the body.
– Three soldiers then huddle around the body and, when they disperse, there is now very clearly an object on the ground right next to the body.
Coincidence? Magic? Divine intervention? Zio-supremacism?
The bustards are getting away with murder. How many innocent civilians are killed and knives planted close by, to cover the crime? What do they do now, carry extra knives to help their criminals justify the murders? These are young kids, and their lives seem to not be of any value to these criminal murderers. I feel just like Annie, sometimes too. It is depressing that the US is compliant in all these crimes. Kerry wringing his hands and used like a puppet to mouth the Israeli narrative does not solve the problem. Perhaps threatening to stop aid to those parasites might be more practical. The moment there is a hint of their aid and weapons being stopped, the lobbies send in their armies to beg and plead Congress not to stop the moola. It also makes me wonder why these parasites need our tax money, after all they have billionaires and millionaires all around the world, are supposed to be one of the biggest weapons manufacturers, and haven’t we seen the bragging about how much advanced they are in technology, and that many companies around the word are working with them? So why are they sponging off the US?
Whatever actually happened there, it is inconceivable to me that the shooter was not immediately disarmed and taken into custody, if no other reason than to ensure he didn’t accidentally shoot one of the soldiers. It is a policy not to disarm and arrest settlers who kill people?
