Israeli settlers on Wednesday shot and killed 19-year-old Palestinian-American Nasrallah Abu Siyam as they attacked the Palestinian village of Mukhmas, east of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
He and other residents had intervened to defend a Palestinian farmer under attack by a group of settlers, a witness told the Associated Press.
The Israeli army showed up and dispersed tear gas, sound grenades and live ammunition, the witness, Mukhmas resident Raed Abu Ali, told the AP.
Video circulating on social media appears to show the moment Abu Siyam was shot and his body being dragged away.

I was always curious how brave would be Israel soldiers if Palestinians would be able to fight back and not just be easy targets.
The IDF barely entered Gaza of fear of getting shot. That’s why almost all their military activity is from airplanes high up in the sky.
In previous wars with hezbolla they showed how cowardly they are in drirect combat with real militants. They were shot in the back while fleeing. They hide behind their sophisticated weapons and they only kill defenseless people.
And they’re still called “settlers” XD
Imagine me and a battalion of Greek soldiers marching into, say, Italy and bombing a town to shit, then establishing a perimeter, kill the locals, act like the area was promised to us by Zeus 3000 years ago and be called “Greek settlers” on mainstream media and nothing done to us.
The term settler was actually carefully chosen to make it sound like people were building settlements on empty land instead of ethnically cleansing an existing population to colonize it.
Fuck Israel.
