Of course Nadim Nawara was killed by live fire - but where?

When you don't ask the right questions, you won't get the correct answers. The Guardian condescendingly reports: A postmortem examination of the exhumed body of one of two Palestinian teenagers killed by Israeli forces at a demonstration last month has reportedly identified wounds consistent with live ammunition, despite the Israeli military's denial that it used live rounds that day. The killings of 17-year-old Nadeem Nawara and 16-year-old Mohammad...

Beitunia Pallywood again: The injury of Mohammed Azza/Azi/Aziz (update)

The HRW report I mentioned earlier today does shed light on something: the time of the shooting of the injured youth Mohammed Azza. HRW says: Israeli forces shot and wounded Azza in the chest at around 12:20 p.m., about 15 meters from where Nawareh and Salameh were later fatally shot, Azza’s father and a witness told Human Rights Watch. Human Rights Watch has not seen...

In a move that surprises no one, Human Rights Watch has released a report on the Beitunia shootings that uncritically reports every anti-Israel claim and ignores everything that is self-contradictory: Video footage, photographs, witness statements, and medical records indicate that two 17-year-old boys whom Israeli forces shot and killed on May 15, 2014 posed no imminent...

The Perfectly Placed Pallywood Photographer

This video - again taken from the extended CCTV video released from "Nakba Day" protests in Beitunia - isn't a smoking gun, but it sure raises some questions about what may have been pre-planned. It shows the events in the three minutes between the "botched Pallywood" video I showed (which now has over 20,000 views) and the first incident with Nadim Nawara. Clearly, one of the masked leaders of the riots also is good friends with photographers on...

The grassy knoll in Beitunia

Ben Ehrenreich writes that the bullets that killed the youths in Beitunia were not fired by the Israeli shooters in the CNN video, but from an entirely different group: In the LARB article I quoted a doctor who treated both boys and who told me that their wounds were without question caused by live fire. Nuwara was shot in the chest, Abu Thaher in the back: both bullets...

Ok, I've stared at the videos and photos taken during "Nakba Day" for hours. I've read all the articles I can find. I've come up with my conclusions that there is no possible way that Nadeem Nawara was shot and killed by Israeli forces. But CNN and the New York Times, showing far less diligence, have concluded that he was killed by Israeli live fire. OK. I'm just an anonymous...

From Robert Mackey of the NYT: The Israeli military suspended a soldier who was captured on video this month firing his rifle at protesters in the occupied West Bank. Video evidence showed that the soldier fired his weapon within seconds of a Palestinian boy’s collapsing to the ground with what proved to be a fatal gunshot wound. As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported...
