Related: About this forumA Palestinian converted to Judaism. An Israeli soldier saw him as a threat and opened fire
https://www.yahoo.com/news/palestinian-converted-judaism-israeli-soldier-075435370.htmlBut then the deceased was identified as David Ben-Avraham, a Palestinian who had made the almost unheard-of decision to convert from Islam to Judaism years earlier.
He was born Sameh Zeitoun in Hebron, home to some 200,000 Palestinians as well as hundreds of Jewish settlers who live in enclaves guarded by Israeli troops. Tensions have run high for decades, often spilling over into violence.
Are you Jewish? the soldier shouts in a video that circulated online and appears to have been shot by his body camera.
A second video, apparently taken from a nearby security camera, appears to show two soldiers shooting Ben-Avraham from a close distance as he keels over backward onto the sidewalk.
