   > Asked about the video, an Israeli military spokesperson said: “A Palestinian suspected of hurling a block at IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldiers was shot. The incident is under review.”

2. “We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing.” Whats the point of rules and laws when the powerful that wrote said rules don’t adhere to them themselves? The whole facade of western democracy freedom sorta falls flat on its own face.

3. Wow I wonder if this investigation will end as the [majority of IDF investigations have – with no action, and no one found responsible for murder](https://www.btselem.org/accountability/military_police_investigations_followup)

4. Something I very much doubt they are doing.

   This is a country that punished the person who blew the whistle that they were raping palestinians hostages in prisons instead of punishing the monster that committed the rape.

   Then the politicians and spiritual leaders had to come out and debate the merits of raping and whether it was kosher.
