In international news, Palestinians have expressed outrage at the short sentence given to an Israeli soldier caught on tape executing a wounded Palestinian man. On Tuesday, a military panel sentenced Israeli Sergeant Elor Azaria to 18 months in prison and a demotion in rank. Video of the killing last March shows Palestinian Abdel Fattah al-Sharif lying immobilized on the ground as Azaria fires a single shot into the man’s head at close range. The killing took place in Hebron, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The father of al-Sharif said, “If someone is arrested for throwing a rock, they get a two-year sentence. In this case, a soldier murdered and got a year and a half.” This is Wasel Abu Yousef of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Wasel Abu Yousef: “Today’s sentencing for the murder of the martyr Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, who was murdered by one of the occupation’s fascist soldiers, a murder that was filmed and broadcast on most of the world’s satellite channels, this deliberate murder of a wounded person who was not able to move and was shot in the head and killed in cold blood—today, a fake court decided to hand down a light sentence to this soldier, which illustrates a disrespect of Palestinian lives and international laws.”
