Israeli police officers secure the area of Lion's gate in Jerusalem's Old City, Saturday, May 30, 2020. Israeli police shot dead a Palestinian near Jerusalem's Old City who they had suspected was carrying a weapon but turned out to be unarmed.
Relatives identified the deceased man as Iyad Halak, 32. They said he suffered from autism and was heading to the school for students with special needs where he studied each day when he was shot.In a statement, Israeli police said they spotted a suspect “with a suspicious object that looked like a pistol.” When he failed to obey orders to stop, officers opened fire, the statement said. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld later said no weapon was found.
Palestinians and Israeli human rights groups have long accused Israeli security forces of using excessive force in some cases, either by killing individuals who could have been arrested or using lethal force when their lives were not in danger. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid, whose daughter is autistic, said Halak’s death was “heartbreaking.”
The shooting came a day after Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank who they said had tried to ram them with his vehicle. No Israelis were wounded in either incident.
Just wondering. Do Jews ever see themselves now as the oppressors their ancestors suffered from? Because it seems they are now.

Idiots
We all know what card they’re gonna pull...
The Israeli forces are criminal. This is not the first time and it’s not going to be the last time. For them killing Palestinians is as easy as having a bar of chocolate.
Remember YOUR President, and your country SUPPORT these European colonists, it makes NO difference what their religion is, killing indigenous Palestinians in OCCUPIED PALESTINE. America is facilitating GENOCIDE in Palestine.
A cop is a cop.
I see they practice the American way of policing
They're lying. They just killed him bc he wasn't a jew then say they thought he had a weapon.
Nothing new
Crazy how with everything going on out there, THIS is the thing u guys post. Fucking ridiculous
They have become so bad. A law to the own. Nefarious.
Israeli army has done this too many times. They have to answer for crimes against humanity
The same thing happens in America.

The wording seems to be anti-Israel propaganda
