Something doesn't add up for sure one way or the other. I would feel a whole lot better about forming an opinion and accepting the conclusion that the kid must have wanted to die to start a fight by pulling a fake gun on an Israeli soldier (and even attacking the soldier) if there had been witnesses from both sides.

Were the kid's friends and family aware that he carried a fake gun?

Do all these rioting Palestinians realize the kid pulled a fake gun on a soldier? If so, then why in the hell are they rioting? If he did then he wanted to die!

Aw, hell, I must be relating it to how U.S. cops kill perps, lie about the events and even plant things on them to justify it. Soldiers would never do the same. No way.

Or it could be the kid wanted to suicide & start a war and/or be a hero. We'll never know unless they find some witnesses from the other side. Are there any? Would just feel better about forming an opinion if there was at least one Palestinian witness who confirmed the kid pulled a toy gun on the soldier.

It wouldn't surprise me either way - both sides are insane.
