Castelman was hit by soldier who apparently mistook him for a terrorist during Jerusalem attack, but footage shows him unarmed, with his hands in the air prior to being shot

Two things:

  • Clearly this is a war crime.
  • The good guy with a gun often looks like a bad guy with a gun and can easily be shot by state forces.

Yes, but he had already thrown his weapon away and had his hands in the air surrendering. We shouldn't be killing all bad guys once they've surrendered either.

For those who are unaware, the soldier who killed Castleman is a member of the Hilltop youth, which is a known extremist pro-settler group who want to get rid of all Palestinians in West Bank. The soldier had actually been interviewed prior to this and stated that he was really excited to "check that box", ie kill a Palestinian for the first time.
