1. As long as Zionists rule the land, no justice will come
Lynx ,   Palestine   (05.21.14)
The Zionist movement is based on Jewish supremacy in the land while Palestinians are cantonized or brutalized into leaving or both... So long as this out dated colonial ideology reins in the Holy Land no justice or fair investigation will see the light. The US thinks we Palestinians will cross our arms to see our innocent youth murdered in broad day light...The US is itself culpable and complicit in arming this racist, criminal regime.
2. Ha! Ha! US busy-bodies need to look at their own conduct....
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.21.14)
What a joke this administration is... sickening hypocrites.
3. Meanwhile ...
Mike ,   NZ   (05.21.14)
Just across the border in Syria . . How many innocents have the Syrians murdered . . I believe it's now about 300,000 . . and that's just in Syria ! Now that it think about it . . How many Americans have been shot and killed by their own police . . Does anybody know ?
4. Where are the bodies?
Ed ,   USA   (05.21.14)
Looks like another al-Dura hoax. At this point we don't know that anyone died. Let's see the bodies.
5. what do you mean expects
jerold   (05.21.14)
US acts like livni- they are telling israel what to do. Does israel tell the US to investigate some fatalities in afganistan? Who the hell is the US to tell Israel. Livni, olmert andbibi run to the US begging so US acts in a condescending way. The US can inquire of israel but not expects. It is none of US business. This relationship is screwed up. Israeli leaders like peres, barak, olmert and livni and now bibi are responsible for this state of affairs-israel being treated like a vassal state. Act like a state or give it up and move to n ew jersey. Bibi is now principally to blame for this because he acts like a pleading coward.
6. Have you even seen the footage?
R ,   Israel   (05.21.14)
I have. In both cases the "victim" was able to hit the ground carefully with arms extended. In both cases, supposedly filmed an hour apart, the same people gather round and carry them off. This footage may be fake. Maybe not. But if it is, what does it matter? The damage is already done, and I bet no news agency checks it out before they post it.
7. An article NOT worth reading!! PROPAGANDA!!
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (05.21.14)
8. Investigate
Mark ,   Uk   (05.21.14)
Israel should invetigate and prove it is edited and staged as other videos were
9. Some Israeli with Guns Very Courageous
Zechariah   (05.21.14)
Killing an unarmed enemy in that way shows great Courage if your a Fascist or Other type War criminal.Shows Tribal Mentality and Low Sadism .
10. Justice
James ,   USA   (05.21.14)
The US has so little faith in Israli democracy it will impose what it fails to do for itself. Such a sorry state this Obama adminastartion has fallen into. Perhaps a look back at Kent State or at least a hundred other incidents needs to be looked at. When a person throws a rock and uses a sling, that person intends dire physical harm to befall its target. Sometimes the use of lethal force is required, particularly against rebels trained by a government that professes peace and teaches children hate.
11. We shall do it, of course.Just like US did in Benghazi
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.21.14)
12. Investigate the genicidol slaughter of Native Americans
Sitting Jew ,   Badlands, ND   (05.21.14)
13. more important
(05.21.14)
The US should have more important investigations to handle, like the murder of ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. Where were Obama and Clinton? Were they involved in giving the order that prevented reinforcements from saving Stevens? Why did Obama and Clinton arrest the videographer Nakoula when they knew he was innocent? Who is guilty of negligent homicide, Obama or Clinton?
14. Obama's innumerable orders to Israel
CJK   (05.21.14)
obama's megalomania is boundless. it is amazing that this lawless american preseident, totally incompetent, has the temerity to order around sovereign nations. obama should start by investigating his own lawless actions, including his spying, his financing of the so-called arab spring which has cost countless lives, his turning of lybia into a failed jihadi state, his drone program which has caused many civilian lives but has not killed off the jihadists, his capitulation deal with iran. obama's lawless actions are so numerous that they cannot be listed. what is certain is that he will not escape the clutches of history.

The movie is not MABEY FAKE, IT IS FAKE.
16. The Tide is Turning......
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (05.21.14)
...against Israel. The US should follow this through to the end-no backing down. The film should be proved to be real and undoctored. If the families have the bullets from their loved ones bodies, they should be given to an independent forensic examiner to confirm the origin of the bullets. If this is investigated by Israelis, it will be whitewashed or declared fake/hoax but the US will not allow this if they are fair dinkum. This is a war crime, and the IDF should have their arses hauled before the Hague. Next week 2 million Presbyterians will vote to divest from companies such as Caterpillar who profit from Israeli occupation and oppression. BDS!!
17. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.21.14)
Our land; our rules. You should have taken the deal in 1947 -- yet you chose to go to war instead. You LOST. You LOST on FIVE ADDITIONAL OCCASIONS -- all wars that you started. Zionism is nothing more than the nationalist movement of the Jewish people to be restored to our ancient homeland -- Israel. The "Palestinians" are an aggregate of nomadic tribesmen whose home is the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert. Go pester the Saudis to give you a homeland. And stop whining about your criminal delinquents. If they hadn't been rioting, they'd be alive today. Moreover, this could be just another "Palestinian" production as we saw with al-Durrah. He was deliberately killed by "Palestinians" so that they could point a finger of blame against Jews. Is there no depth too law for the "Palestinians" to sink? Killing your own children as a propaganda tool? Disgusting. Then again, the "Palestinians" have also sold their children to be suicide bombers. Anyone capable of doing that is capable of anything.
18. #1, as long as Arabs rule Middle East, always Apartheid.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.21.14)
19. IDF investigation = sham. The tribe
James USA ,   Pittsburgh   (05.21.14)
sticks together. 11th commandment " no matter what the chosen can do no wrong"
20. To Sarah B., U.S./Israel, at No. 17
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (05.21.14)
Right and correct written down. Israel and the rest of the free and democratic world, better can be and remain "islam"-free and export "islam", to for example, to "islam"-Lebanon, "islam"-Syria, "islam"-Jordan, "islam"-Egypt and to the rest of the present, entire, dictatorial, criminal "islam"-world. Also, Israel, forever, ever and always!
21. #19, does what you say sound better in original german?
Danny   (05.24.14)
22. Film
Doctor ,   Rsa   (05.28.14)
Very odd video ... Direction of fall and similarity... Almost falling forward ... No impact as in a projectile strike.. just smooth fall....People waiting to pick them up in the "usual" excitable way... I may be wrong and if so I apologise but could these be staged? I would check the bullet forensically ... What type of gun... What distance from impact... ie full forensic report from unbiased source.... It wouldn't be the first staged episode....
