L.A. Times: Graphic video appears to show Israeli soldier shooting Palestinian man in the head
A graphic video that appears to show an Israeli soldier shooting a wounded Palestinian man in the head, moments after the man had stabbed a different soldier, has put an already tense West Bank neighborhood on edge.
A human rights volunteer took the video Thursday morning as he witnessed a stabbing attack near the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood in the southern occupied West Bank. He sent the video to the group B’Tselem, which published it online.
The video begins moments after an Israeli soldier had been stabbed by two Palestinian men, just before Israeli settlers were due to hold a parade celebrating the festival of Purim.

Wow, surprised he did that, he deserves to go to prison for that. Regardless of what he did, the terrorist would have gone to prison.
Interesting they did not show the the terrorists stabbing the soldier though. That's where the problem lies, you are getting a partial picture by not showing the full video. The soldier was wrong but the terrorist was not innocent. Unless I am missing something here, who ever shot this video or whoever he sold it too, is an activist, showing only one side of this.
You are missing something there.
The "witness" only caught the aftermath of the attack, not the whole attack.
Palistinians, like African Americans have started routinely filming Security Service interactions with Palistinians on their cell phones, because if there isn't footage of it, it never happened.
Jay farquharson you are the problem implying he deserved to get shot in head while lying there wounded already. Stabbing a soldier is not terrorism when they are living under military rule. What they did is actully terrorism. They are a colonist occupying force even under UN law.
If a contra invaded and conquered America we have every right to act against that occupying force

Good, if its worth shooting him once its worth shooting him again.
You seem to have reading and comprehension problems.
Palistinians and Israeli's have started recording on their phones, interactions with Security Forces, because the Security Forces have been getting away with rape, robbery and murder.
If it hasn't been video'd and uploaded to social media, the Israeli State deny's it happened.
yes, like the idiots in Ottawa who condemned the boycott Israeli products campaign.
Settler governments gotta stick together ya know.
