The article focuses on the decision of the Israeli MilitaryAdvocate General (MAG) to charge an officer who ordered the shooting of a handcuffed, blindfolded Palestinian demonstrator, and the soldier who executed the order, for ‘conduct unbecoming’. It advances the following propositions: (i) from the perspective of the applicable international law, the facts of the case qualify the shooting as a war crime, (ii) said decision of the Israeli MAG is indicative of a policy of tolerance towards violence against non-violent civilian protest against the construction of the Separation Wall, (iii) the implication of such policy is twofold: first, it might transform ‘conduct unbecoming’ c which as a matter of law is a war crime c into a crime against humanity, second, it may well be construed as an invitation to the international community to intervene through the exercise of universal jurisdiction.
