Warning: This article contains graphic video and images of violence.
21st Century Wire says…
A shocking video offers yet more proof of how Israel’s occupying Police State soldiers do not value Palestinian lives. Here we see an Israeli soldier executing an injured Palestinian youth in Hebron in the West Bank.
After first injuring Mahdi Muhammad Ramadan al-Muhtasib, 23 yrs old, the Israeli soldier in question stood and watched his victim lying in the road, beforeaiming his gun at him and killing the youth.
Electronic Infifada reports:
Summary Execution
Mahdi Muhammad Ramadan al-Muhtasib, 23, was killed by Israeli soldiers in Hebron on Thursday after he allegedly lightly injured an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint with a knife.
This video published at the Facebook page “Ramallah Mix” shows the injured al-Muhtasib lying on the ground.
An Israeli soldier stands at a distance of several meters. Al-Muhtasib moves and the soldier, still at a distance of several meters, aims his rifle at him and fires. Al-Muhtasib continues to writhe on the ground as the soldier moves around him.
Two more soldiers then approach al-Muhtasib but at no point is he provided medical assistance.
Video corroborates this clear case of extrajudicial execution, a war crime and part of a pattern of such killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces.
Five Palestinians have been killed since Thursday, bringing the total this month to 71, according to the Palestinian Authority health ministry.
This number includes five Palestinians who died as a possible result of tear gas inhalation, delayed medical treatment due to checkpoints and medical neglect by prison authorities.
Fifteen of the dead are children.
“On 27 October, Amnesty International said it had documented at least four other recent instances “in which Palestinians were deliberately shot dead by Israeli forces when they posed no imminent threat to life, in what appear to have been extrajudicial executions.”
Nine Israelis were slain in the same period.
More than 1,200 Palestinians, including at least 256 children, have been injured by Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since 20 October, the United Nations monitoring group OCHA reported.

All this hinges on the use of the knife as a weapon and a possible concealed explosive device. If Palestinians have been attacking first responders after being wounded there is also reason for a soldier to kill to protect other civilians, bad things happen, sometimes you run across a checkpoint where the troops are drunk, or criminal, they kick you about, a weapon is used and they plant evidence on you, all of a sudden you are a corpse, a terrorist, have attacked with a weapon and wounded one of the guards and Israel hits your house with a bomb from a kfir. Yet another average day in Palestine.
