A video by Dan Cohen and David Sheen, with Ronnie Barkan.

Thousands
converged on Tel Aviv's city hall on 19 April 2016 to register their
support for an Israeli soldier who was filmed executing a Palestinian
youth.

On 24 March, Sergeant Elor Azarya, 19, had aimed his rifle
and fired at the head of 21-year-old Palestinian Abd al-Fattah
al-Sharif as he lay on the ground, wounded and immobile, in the occupied
West Bank city of Hebron.

From across the country, Israelis
descended upon Rabin Square, Tel Aviv's premier venue for large public
protests, to express their indignation over the army's charges of
manslaughter against Azarya.

The rally featured speeches by
Azarya's mother, father and sister and a number of musical performances
by popular Israeli artists.

This film documents some of the rally's most poignant and frightening moments.
