Palestinian woman shot dead; Israelis say she was armed, witness disputes it

In this article, it talks about the disputes between a girl whom the border patrol people (for a checkpoint) called "women" they where checking her and where asking her questions about her bag and "knife" which she wasn't wielding. The officers kept pursuing the idea sthat she had knife but both hands where raised and she was very scared too. They shot at her 8 times with the notion she had a "knife", she died shortly after. The disputes between israelis and palestinian have been going on for years and recently, incidents like this connects to police brutality here in america, with that in mind the gov. will probably dismiss the case.

  1. The ongoing wars between Palestine and Israel have sadly almost become a norm, referencing what you said about how government will dismiss this case since it happens all the time. I think that is so disappointing, that death and violence is just normal.

  3. Matthew Homsher 9th- I hope that the publicity this article is getting will contribute to justice being brought to the shooters.
