This story suffers from coming off as quite bias. In the framing and language used, it comes off as pro-Palestinian. However, there is still value in it because it focuses on a single killing, and is quite thorough in the interviews conducted.
It covers an aspect we really see in the western media. Especially in the U.S. Eyewitnesses tell the truth. They know what they experienced. Their voices should be heard. I credit AJ's "Crisis In Gaza" for holding Israeli military actions under the microscope. On top of it, they list articles of the Geneva Convention and compare last month's events to see if any violations were committed. We don't see much of this, especially on Israel-Palestine.
Personally, I don't see that both sides are to blame. There is clearly an oppressor and there is clearly an oppressed. Palestinians do not deserve to be treated this way and I can't see how this enhance security for Israel. I hope there is some kind of accountability for those who deliberately chose to conduct these attacks.
