> The worst thing about this is that it's even plausible. Accidents will happens

Of course it's plausible. She jumped in the line of fire with a big "PRESS" inscription on her chest. That's why they shot her in the head, by accident.

Snipers use single shots, not machine guns, so there was no way for her to jump into any line of fire. You're bending the truth, which tends to suggest that your arguments need a bit of bent truth to sound persuasive.

The Israeli army says the goal was to shoot someone else. IMO shooting the wrong person doesn't make it significantly worse, but you may disagree.

You should take a look at the videos. There was a line of fire. It's clear on the videos. You can see that the snipers didn't "use single shots". Journalists were targeted. All investigations except the israeli ones led to the conclusion that it was an intended shot that killed Shireen.

Uhm. Sorry. I routinely ignore videos, I suppose it's obvious sooner or later I would ignore one that isn't just low-density blah.
