More logical

- BARRY WEISS Jerusalem

Regarding “Knife was moved closer to terrorist after he was shot, says investigat­or for IDF” (June 2), it is more logical that the driver who videoed the scene moved the knife simply to show it within his frame to indicate the terrorist’s weapon, rather than to reduce the prosecutio­n’s conclusion that the knife, being farther out of reach of Abdel Fatah al-Sharif, should have convinced Sgt. Elor Azaria that he was no longer a threat.

I believe a terrorist should face the death penalty even if he or she only wounds the victim. That would be true deterrence.
