Israeli Army finally released the video of Ahmed’s car crash and execution. The only thing more enraging than this video being used as “evidence” of an attempted attack on soldiers are the journos who have watched it and are asking my family for comment. #Thread
Palestinians are so securitized as a threat that we can't make human mistakes, like lose momentary control of our car, press the accelerator in a moment of haste, get in a car accident.

There is such deep dehumanization that the obvious question of journos should be why is there a checkpoint bw 2 #Palestinian cities? Why would he do this on his sister's wedding day? Why did the soldiers shoot him lethally? Why did they deny access to paramedics? #AhmedErekat
Why is his image blurred so that we can't see he is unarmed and confused? Why did the Human Rights Council find that Israel lethally shoots Palestinians "on mere suspicion or as a precautionary measure"? Why was Ahmed the 11th #Palestinian executed this year? #AhmedErekat
Didn't the Israeli Army doctor a video to blame paramedic Razan al Najjar for her own death? How come not a single Israeli has been held to account for the 97 killings of #Palestinians in the West Bank, including 36 children, in 2016? #AhmedErekat
Why was no one held to account for the killing of 217 unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza between May and October 2018? Why am I so ready to believe that another Palestinian deserved to be executed today? #AhmedErekat #Palestinian #Freedom
