Surprise? Teen terrorist is praised by Haaretz because his martyrdom note wasn't monstrous

...I'd say that despite his idea that repaying a few shekels of debt is more important than life itself, Amar was closer to being a monster than a misunderstood moral actor....Ahmad Amer woke up on March 9 intending to kill. The soldier who killed him did not. And that is a world of difference.

Nobody else was injured.

While the troubling details of the attack otherwise fit the familiar pattern, a Haaretz report mentioned that Amer had left a suicide note – an unusual detail. Driven by curiosity, I found a full copy of his letter.
