It is so interesting to watch how conditioning and brain washing works with the Israel Firsters. They have now convinced each other that there was no killing of two Palestinian kids. While in the rest of the world this is now a given whilst even the Israeli media, report that the two kids were killed. Incredible cognitive dissonance of the Israel Firsters.

Even the IDF admits to the killing but claims that it was a violent and "illegal" demonstration (so for them it's ok to kill kids in those conditions)
"the IDF Spokesperson Unit said, "On Thursday, an illegal and violent disturbance occurred in Beitunia. The said video is edited in a tendentious manner and does not reflect the level of violence that occurred at the disturbance."

and to complete the circle:

If the IDF were firing with rubber bullets, who had the gun with the live round? The video did not show IDF soldiers. Since tear gas was used, it would make seeing the boys back behind the gas. The video does not even show which direction the IDF was supposed to have been.
You are presuming that a live round was fired at the boys though a crowd of protesters and tear gas to kill two boys the IDF probably could not even see.
The boys seemed to throwing rocks in the direction of the road block. If that is where the IDF were, then the boys were trying to hit the IDF and it was a weapon attack. If the IDF were in the other direct the IDF probably could not even see the boys. Some with another rifle could have fired the shots and photographers where right there to start snapping pictures and lay the blame on the IDF.
If you know how you can kill with paperclip or a card from a deck of playing cards. Rubber bullets can be lethal, but they are designed to minimize casualties. Rubber bullets and tear gas are for crowd/protest/riots control. They are not intended to kill.
The kids could be down the street or round the corner, but there are no IDF in the video firing on the boys, or killing them. I know the video was grainy but I did not see any blood, just two boys that look like they tripped and fell down, friends crowded around the moved their friend out the frame.
There are major question about the incident but without an open mind about discovering the facts, you are nothing more than a lynch mob out for Israeli blood. String them up first and don't ask questions later.
