The Palestinian in the video I saw was prone on the ground and was a threat to no one when he was executed by a soldier in broad daylight in front of at least a dozen people. This is less a "victory" for terrorism than it is an indelible black mark on Israel. The fact that the bystanders in the video react so nonchalantly in the face of such abhorrent brutality speaks volumes to the normalization of oppression the Palestinians and Israelis have experienced.

The way the police are acting now, in refusing to even speak to him, demonstrate their complicity in the violence the Palestinians experience daily from the settlers.
