The Israeli military has censured Israeli soldiers who cheered after one of them shot an unarmed Palestinian man who was standing, motionless, in Gaza, on the other side of a heavily militarized barrier a few months ago in a video that has now gone viral. The video captures the sound of a gunshot, the Palestinian man falling to the ground, and then a voice shouting in Hebrew, “Wow, what a video! Yes! Son of a bitch!” Despite denouncing the soldiers for filming the shooting and celebrating it, the Israeli military defended the shooting itself. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the Israeli sniper who shot the Palestinian across the border “deserves a medal.”
