"Only Democracy in the Middle East" Shoots an Unarmed Protestor

Fatal shooting at West Bank protest

A Palestinian has been shot dead and several others wounded after Israeli security forces opened fire during a protest in the West Bank against Israel's war in Gaza.
The man died after being shot in the head when clashes broke in the West Bank town of Hebron on Friday, medics and witnesses said.
Israeli soldiers had opened fire with live ammunition and rubber bullets after youths throwing stones had apparently tried to march towards the Israeli-controlled area of the city, witnesses said.
