Last week a video of illegal Israeli settlers shooting a Palestinian teen in the West Bank went viral. The video showed the illegal settlers yelling to the teen "die you son of a whore!" over and over.
The boy in the video was writhing in pain, dying surrounded by settlers, and apparently a police officer or soldier who seemed to show no concern for any weapon being nearby. Indeed, in the video there is no sign of a knife that settlers and the IDF would later claim the boy had.
But now, a new video published on Facebook by Youth Against Settlements shows the moments after another illegal Israeli settler shot yet another Palestinian teenager dead in Hebron, Saturday.
Watch the video below...

In America today, many people think Vladimir Putin shot down MH17 personally. It's also true that the typical NFL football fan really believes Putin swiped New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring. Yes, you discern correctly, one big reason for America and Russia being in an unbridled nuclear war is a cheating NFL owner's (see ball inflation scandal) trophy. Not many ever took note of the fact News Corp billionaire Rupert Murdoch was supposedly a witness to this nefarious crime. Strange coincidence, is it not, that one of the men responsible for bashing Russia over the head with newspapers was also witness to the crime of the century? (See CNN video) If this is all news to you, I can identify. You see, even I considered this new Cold War as having a start date that coincided with the Euromaidan uprisings in Ukraine. But I was very far wrong, as you shall see too.
We can hardly read, watch or hear the news without learning about some new grotesque violence inflicted among family members, a new mass shooting, a lethal bout of abuse perpetrated by police, or Western proxy forces acting like scourges upon whole nations. How much of what we're seeing is a manufactured and 'synthetic terror,' and how much of what we're seeing is the result of other factors that are largely unknown or unacknowledged. Whatever the case, the results are all around us staring us in the face, and looming larger everyday. We ignore the rising tide of irrationality and violence, which has become the 'new normal,' at our own peril.

Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) and US President Barack Obama.
Russian President Vladimir Putin (L) and US President Barack Obama.
Irrespective of spin - "productive" according to the White House, "tense" according to a source close to the Kremlin - facts on the ground accumulated almost immediately.
Putin did press Obama for the US to join Russia in a real grand coalition bent on smashing ISIS/ISIL/Daesh. The Obama administration, once again, relented. I detailed here what happened next: an earth-shattering game-changer in the 'New Great Game' in Eurasia, straight out of the Caspian Sea, that caught the acronym fest of US intelligence - not to mention the Pentagon - completely off-guard.
So this was Putin's first message to Washington, and the Pentagon/NATO combo in particular; your fancy ideas of stationing tactical nuclear weapons or expanding missile defense to Eastern Europe, or even Asia-Pacific, are just a mirage. Our cruise missiles are capable of wreaking real effective havoc; and soon, as this piece argues, there will be more hypersonic, high-precision long-range missiles added to the mix.
Old habits don't die hard - they remain in a coma forever. The Pentagon's response to the facts launched from the Caspian Sea was to conduct an airdrop of light weapons to "a select group of vetted leaders and their units," as in those famously non-existent Syrian "moderate rebels." The weapons will inevitably be captured by assorted Salafi-jihadi goon outfits in no time.
Then the British government was forced to deny a Murdoch-controlled Sunday Times "report" that British Tornadoes in Syria are now armed with air-to-air missiles to counter potential Russian aerial "attacks."
And to top it off, the proverbial "military experts" infesting US corporate media started spinning that we are only 30 seconds from World War III.

Sanafi Al-Nasr, who was allegedly killed in an airstrike near the town of Dana, was Al-Qaeda's senior strategist and an important power broker, the Iranian Fars news agency reports, citing jihadist sources close to the killed militant leader.
Al-Nusra released several photos showing a car hit by an air strike along with several bodies of the dead militants, although their identities were not verified. However, jihadists claimed on social media that Al-Nasr had been killed.
Other photos published by the terrorist organization show the alleged graves of Al-Nasr and two other militants who were killed in an airstrike.
Comment: Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. This is what is needed to help bring down these terrorist groups and bring them into disarray.

Refugees walk to cross the border into Croatia, near the town of Sid in Serbia October 12, 2015.
Refugees walk to cross the border into Croatia, near the town of Sid in Serbia October 12, 2015.
"The government has decided to include the army in helping police," the Slovenian Prime Minister Miro Cerar said on Saturday, following a meeting of Slovenia's national security council. Ljubljana has had to deal with an influx of refugees after Hungary closed its border with Croatia. The first bus with refugees arrived at the Slovenian-Croatian border on Saturday morning.
"The bus is on the border crossing (Gruskovje) and the migrants will now go through a registration process," police spokesman Bojan Kitel told Reuters.
EU member Hungary took a restrictive approach to the refugee crisis that the union is facing this year. Previously it erected a wire fence along the border with non-member Serbia and fellow member Croatia to prevent illegal crossings. The border blockade with Croatia was issued on Friday night, with Budapest [Hungary] explaining that it was protecting Europe, its prosperity, security and Christian values.
Comment: Hungary imposed the same control on its borders with Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia: Access is permitted only with valid passports. Razor wire fence is not planned on the Hungary-Slovenia border, because unlike Croatia and Serbia, Slovenia is a member state of the Schengen Area. Slovenian and Hungarian police are patrolling the border together. This is America's 'thank you' to Europe for its compliance these past 70 years.

The US has found itself at the crossroads with regard to Russia's military engagement in Syria and it has three options, Cohen maintains. The first one is to do what American hawks, including Senator John McCain, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and some other Republicans are advocating. They essentially urge to enforce a no-fly zone over Syria and shoot down Russian planes if they violate it.
The second option is to stand aside and see what Putin could accomplish with his allies. The third one, according to the Professor Emeritus of Russian Studies and Politics at NYU and Princeton, is to join Russia. Cohen sees the third option as the best choice for the Obama administration.
"We came, we saw, he died"
These are the repugnant words of the former US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, in an apparent reference to the famous words attributed to Julius Caesar: "I came, I saw, I conquered." Clinton was gloating following the brutal murder of the Libyan leader,Muammar al-Qaddafi, by the Libyan rebels in October 2011.
Comment: And this is the creature being groomed to become the "first female POTUS":
NATO powers exploited the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 which established a "no fly zone" in the country to bomb Libyan government positions and force regime change. As Paul Joseph Watson succinctly summed it up, "a "no fly zone" is merely a euphemism for aerial bombardment and aggressive regime change."
Comment: NATO spins a web of propaganda and bloodshed while Russia intervenes in true humanitarian style.

Meanwhile, the Russian Aerospace Force has conducted 36 sorties over the past 24 hours, hitting 49 ISIL targets in Syria, including underground hideouts, operation centers, home-made weapon production plants, firing positions, artillery, munition warehouses, ammunition and material supplies of the Islamic State jihadist group.
Comment: Looks like just a show to save some sort of facade of fighting ISIL. Meanwhile Russia continues to effectively pound ISIL.
