[Purveyor]

Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman attacked the “hypocrisy” in the American and European request for a thorough investigation into the killings of two Palestinian teenagers, allegedly by the IDF, during the May 15 Nakba Day riots by Ofer Prison near Ramallah.

“We don’t need an American request to investigate the subject,” Liberman said on Wednesday during a visit to Ariel University in the West Bank.

“I reject any request and the hypocrisy we see worldwide,” he said.

The Palestinians and a number of nongovernmental groups have charged that the IDF killed the two 17-yearolds by shooting them with live ammunition during a calm moment in an otherwise violent event.

1. Hey Avigdor

Did you forget the billions in aid we pay you? I think that gives us a right to know how you're using our tens of billions in equipment we gifted to you.
