00:00 Let's just imagine for a moment that armed militants in the Great March were shooting
00:11 back at Israeli soldiers during the protest, which would actually be protected as legitimate
00:16 resistance under international law.
00:20 United Nations General Assembly Resolution of 1978, quote, "reaffirms legitimacy of
00:26 the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and
00:31 liberation from colonial and foreign domination, and foreign occupation by all available means,
00:38 particularly armed struggle."
00:40 Even if there was an armed battle, all the documented actions of the Israeli military
00:45 against children, disabled, press, and medics would still be considered highly illegal war
00:51 crimes.
00:52 But the fact that there were no armed militants, were no use of weapons against soldiers, was
00:58 no battle, as they say, makes their crimes that much more atrocious and undeniable.
01:06 In fact, the official IDF Twitter account admitted on record that none of those shot
01:10 were by accident.
01:12 According to officials, nothing was carried out uncontrolled.
01:16 Everything was accurate and measured, and we know where every bullet landed.
01:21 Even more damning, Israeli General Zvi Kafogel described how snipers identify and are given
01:27 authorization to shoot children.
01:29 I'm not Ahmad Zvi, I'm Zvi Kafogel.
01:32 I know how these instructions are received.
01:35 I know how a sniper shoots.
01:37 I know how many permits he needs before he gets a permit to fire.
01:43 It's not the skill of a sniper or someone else who now identifies a small child's body
01:50 and decides to shoot.
01:52 Someone points out the target and tells him exactly why he needs to shoot and what the
01:57 threat is from that one.
01:58 And unfortunately, sometimes when you shoot a small body and you intend to hit it in the
02:03 hand or shoulder, it's the land of the State of Israel, and killing a child is a crime.
02:08 So it's a death sentence?
02:09 It's a death sentence.
02:10 In my opinion, yes.
02:11 If you can shoot here just to stop it in the leg or in the hand, great.
02:14 But if it's more than that, then yes.
02:17 If it's... do you want to test my blood for who knows who?
02:22 Ours or theirs?
02:23 I was a Palestinian.
02:29 I was a Palestinian.
02:31 On April 16, I was in Tfir Rukba.
02:40 My right leg was completely torn.
02:42 I went home from the hospital and thank God I was fine.
02:47 The next Friday, I went out with the guys again.
02:50 We got there and I was shot in the leg and in the left leg.
02:53 On the 8th or 5th, we went to the Malaka area with the guys.
02:57 I was carrying a Palestinian flag, just like the guys.
03:00 I was asking to go back with the guys, just like them.
03:03 So I was shot in the head.
03:07 I was shot in the head, inside and outside.
03:12 I was shot in the head 55 times, inside and outside.
03:18 Then we did a surgery to remove the head's bones.
03:23 A few days later, we removed the head's bones.
03:26 Their goal was to remove the guys from Gaza.
03:30 They wanted to destroy the future of the guys.
03:32 So they wouldn't defend the country after that.
03:34 They wouldn't let the guys go to jail.
03:37 The guys were injured, so no one would defend Palestine.
