CC TV video showing the moment when two Palestinian teenagers were fatally shot during Nakba demonstrations in the West Bank on May 15th has been released by an non-governmental organization.

The two victims were named by local media as 17-year old Nadim Siyam Nuwarah and Muhammad Audah Abu al-Thahir, who was either 15 or 16. Both teens were shot on separate occasions at a protest near Ofer Military Prison in the occupied West Bank on May 15, and had reportedly been throwing rocks.

Footage purported to show both incidents was released by the Palestinian branch of Defense for Children International. In it, a protester prepares to throw a stone with a slingshot, then seven minutes later, according to the video timestamp, a youth walking along the street falls to the ground as those around him duck, seemingly from gunfire. A little over an hour afterwards, another young man walking away from the direction of the clashes collapses. Again, nearby demonstrators dive for cover.

A CNN happened to catch Israeli soldiers firing in the direction of the boys at the exact moment they were shot dead. The Israeli military denied that any soldiers used live rounds, although that is clearly a lie. The Israeli military regularly murders Palestinian children and teenagers, and the Western media generally ignores it. This is the reason that Western audiences can be manipulated into denouncing the recent kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens - because they are denied the TRUE facts about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and instead offered an Israeli narrative that continually presents Israelis as victims. The truth is precisely the opposite.
