VIDEO (bloody) of killing peaceful demos with high-powered teargas canisters

BBC reported Friday that an Israeli soldier fired a high-powered teargas canister at close range directly at a peaceful protester and killed him.

The video includes disturbing scenes of an American that is still in a coma after being hit in the head with a canister the week before in what appears to be a new tactic of the Zionist colonizers.

Firing bullets at peaceful protesters is problematic in case you did not know :)

"Tristan Anderson–38 years old and of Oakland, California–was shot by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on March 13th while peacefully protesting against the “separation wall” deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice in the Palestinian West Bank village of Bi’ilin. Israel was ordered to halt building the wall and compensate Palestinians for land illegally annexed. The wall–longer and taller than the infamous Berlin wall–zigzagged into Palestinian lands, thus preventing farmers and villagers from reaching their farms, hospitals, and schools.

Tristan was among 400 Palestinian villagers and international peace activists. He was shot directly by tear gas canister fired by an Israeli soldier at the end of the protest. Contrary to Israel’s claim, Tristan was not shot “during clashes” with the soldiers and was not in a closed military zone either. The Israeli claim was refuted by an Israeli peace activist, Jonathan Pollock in an interview with Israeli press."
