al Jazeeras report from Issawiya, Allouns neighborhood, and from his family, says Alloun was hunted by 70 Israeli settlers East Jerusalem is occupied, bear in mind and quotes his family saying the killing was in cold blood.
The Israelis are shameless liars. Alloun never stabbed anybody. He was the one who was attacked while on his way to work in Jerusalem at a bakery, a family member of Alloun, who declined to provide his name, told Al Jazeera.
A cousin of the slain Palestinian teenager, who also declined to provide his name, said Alloun was targeted by a mob of about 70 Israeli settlers, one of many who have been rampaging through Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank, attacking Palestinians and their property. Even if the Israelis prove that he stabbed a settler, what was he to do when beaten and attacked by a huge mob screaming Kill the Arabs?

OP
We don't really know the whole story, apart from the clip which shows the lynching.

Yes, the Palestinian should have been executed on the hearsay of the mob without arrest,

Do Jewish lives matter as much as Palestinian lives, or more than Palestinian lives? n/t

Actually it is dead on target, but you will never admit it for partisan reasons.
