His conviction and his release drew enormous attention in Israel. In his first interview after his release, Azaria said that “I would act exactly the same, because that’s how I needed to act.”

Azaria had approached Abdel Fattah al-Sharif as he lay on the ground, unarmed and badly hurt, after stabbing a soldier in the city of Hebron. A cellphone video captured Azaria shooting al-Sharif in the head.

Does this sound like a society capable of bringing itself back under control and stopping its Genocide of Palestinians?
