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
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.
Sounds like a West Bank Kyle Rittenhouse
Do you have a source for that?
it’s behind a paywall
One of the two other soldiers who were also at the scene was wounded by “friendly fire.”
It’s like every flavor of incompetence at once
Graphic video from the scene showed Castleman throw away his gun, fall on his knees and raise his hands in the air while shouting “Don’t shoot” as the soldiers approached him. He was then shot again by one of them.
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.
Slight correction on your second point:
- The good guy with a gun, even without possessing the gun, and verbally surrendering while on their knees with their arms above head begging for their life can easily be shot by state forces.
Let’s not make it seem like this was a little “oopsy woopsy I couldn’t tell he wasn’t a terrorist” situation.
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.
Oh man what the fuck is going on there
We had the confirmation of IDF directly financing them.

We have proof that the IDF knew in advance of this attack.
IDF couldn’t prevent but they already had the audio and video from wiretaps.
IDF soldiers were moved away the day of the attack.
Someone stops the terrorists and IDF intervenes to kill the hero…
This Netanyahu guy is really incompetent and surrounded by incompetent sycophants
