Israeli forces executed two unarmed Palestinians at point-blank range after they surrendered in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Thursday.

The killings were captured on video, which showed the two men emerging from a building with their arms raised and their shirts lifted, clearly indicating they were unarmed and posed no threat to the soldiers.

The troops then shoot them dead.

The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the victims as Al-Muntasir Billah Mahmoud Qassem Abdullah, 26, and Yousef Ali Yousef Asa’sa, 37. They were shot in the Abu Dhahir neighborhood of Jenin.

    Because Israel is an illegitimate state, and Zionists are filth who have become the world’s most protected bullies (and by bullies, I mean murderers)

    The US and UK in particular have blood on their hands, but so does every state that isn’t stopping them.

      The west didn’t want to pay the price for their apology for antisemitism so they had the Palestinians pay in land and blood.

        The West wanted a useful presence in the middle-east

        They wanted a dog

        Their dog slipped its chain though and while still useful, it’s not controllable
