Review of The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall

This riveting account of a young Englishman who said, I want to see for myself, and did just that. He'd been doing relief work in Jordan when he heard about the double crushing death of Rachel Corrie. He didn't expect, nor look for death, he'd reacted with heroism and when he was rescuing 3 little children he was shot from above and behind. His parents secured the only criminal conviction and sentencing for an IDF execution killing. The IDF had at that time relaxed a rules and said that anything goes. There were no rules of engagement. This case is only killing of an International where Israel was held accountable. The father made his preparation and won. The family received hate phone calls for just questioning the State of Israel. Thomas left us in an act of great compassion and bravery. The condemned shooter was quickly released from prison so he could start his family.
