On Wednesday, an 11-year-old Palestinian boy named Mohammed Al-Alami was shot and critically wounded by Israeli occupation forces whilst sitting in the back seat of his parent’s car. The shooting, using live ammunition, occurred at the entrance to Beit Ummar village, close to the main city of al-Khalil (Hebron, in Hebrew) in the West Bank. Mohammed was quickly rushed to the hospital and was later declared dead, with a bullet injury inflicted to his chest. As usual, there has been no accountability for the soldier who shot little Mohammed, nor will there be.

The following day, as Muslims are required to have a quick burial, the funeral for Mohammed took place. One of the young men from the village, Shuakat Khaled Awad, who was pictured at Mohammed’s funeral just hours before, was also shot and killed. The 20-year-old’s murder came as Israeli occupation forces stormed the village provocatively coinciding with the funeral. Young men quickly ran to confront the Israeli military with stones and were shot at with live ammunition, causing at least 10 injuries, one of which was serious.
It's very hard to demonize a person's heritage or cultural identity when they have names. Makes it a lot harder to hate them when they aren't adults.
If after all that you continue to hear one of these fools defend this, ask yourself if you're dealing with someone rational or sane.
