Related: About this forumAutopsy finds that Nakba Day protester killed by live bullet
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4529453,00.htmlThe body of a Palestinian youth who died last month while protesting on Nakba Day was exhumed Wednesday for an autopsy whose official findings were passed onto Ma'an News Agency by a source close to the matter who said that tests concluded that it was a live bullet that killed the 15-year-old.
Ma'an reported that the autopsy of the Palestinian teenager, Nadim Nuwara, was performed in the presence of doctors from around the world to ensure objectivity. Danish, Portuguese, American, and two Israeli specialists were in the room as doctors recovered pieces of a bullet still in Nuwara's body.
Nuwara was killed along with another teen, Muhammad Audah al-Thahir who was 17-years-old. The two were taking place in Nakba Day protests when witnesses claimed that IDF soldiers fired on the protesters.
The incident, which was caught on security tapes and scrutinized internationally, was downplayed by the IDF who claimed that soldiers had fired rubber bullets that had killed the boys in riot prevention measures. Doctors who cared for the two upon their arrival at a local hospital stated that rubber bullets could not have made the wounds they saw on the two teenagers.

I don't know what I would do if I lost a child...especially like that.

I'm not talking about the common people inasmuch as all politicians suffering the fates of common people. When that happens thing will change over night.

Do you remember Kent State? I do. I understood at that moment, we were nothing to "our parents" and they would order us killed because they didn't care whether we lived or died. Even their own, they will sacrifice to the altar of their personal glory and money and power.
