Amado Sison was shot by an Israeli soldier during a peaceful demonstration in the West Bank village of Beita .

Sison : The bullet entered through the back of my thigh and out the front, a trajectory that would be impossible for a bullet falling from the sky.

The Israeli army called my shooting an “accident,” claiming the soldiers fired live rounds into the air.

A week ago , meters from where I was shot, Ayenur Ezgi Eygi , a 26-year-old American activist was killed at the same protest in Beita , a week ago .

The Leahy Laws and the Foreign Assistance Act prohibit the provision of military weapons and assistance to countries that have committed human rights violations.

It is time that the U.S. should impose an arms embargo until Tel Aviv complies fully with the International Court of Justice ’s landmark July ruling.
