Saigon 1968 and Hebron 2016 - Murder in cold blood




Look at those two photos, one from Saigon and one from Hebron. The first one shows the execution of a Viet Cong prisoner in the middle of a Saigon street. After seeing this photo people in the US began to realize what was going on in Vietnam and some argue that this photo marked the beginning of the end of US war in Vietnam although it took some few years more until the image was translated into a political decision.
The second photo (and the video at: https://youtu.be/UMaP9yBojA0) shoes a similar murder in cold blood. This time in Hebron in occupied West Bank. Can we hope that this image is an eye opener, the begining of the end of Israels crimes in the occupied Palestine? Would this video be translated into a political awaness and decisions that will be the end of the occupation?
In this uncensored and non-pixelated video you can hear the loading of the gun, the shot that killed an already wounded and harmless man and you can see the unbearable lightness of shooting in cold blood, the blood flowing from the head and the indifference to a murder in cold blood of the people around.
