[quote=Anonymous]^^  I think most people would agree that is was not intentionally downed - seems as if it was mistaken for a military plane. 
Much of the outrage surrounding this particular incident is the reaction by the Russian government.  There is quite a bit of evidence to show that the Russian government was behind this incident in that they seemed to be the ones to provide the missiles to the rebels. The fact that the investigation of the shooting by international investigators is being hampered by the rebels is making this tragedy much worse.  And, the fact that Russia is promoting propaganda about the downing of the plane angers many:

[quote]Russia’s state-controlled media joined in the obfuscation, casting blame on Ukrainian military forces and even suggesting the Malaysian plane was hit by a missile aimed at an aircraft carrying Russian President Vladimir Putin. For his part, Mr. Putin disingenuously claimed that Ukraine was at fault because it resumed military operations against the rebels — ignoring Russia’s supply of heavy arms to the insurgents.[/quote]
