I've already said what I think, a tragedy as the result of Ukrainian army actively playing with dangerous toys without precautions (not for the first time btw, remember that Tu-154 from 2001) provided the plane indeed was shot down. No one else in close proximity could have done this, unless we're going into too much of a conspiracy stuff. Blaiming rebels is a stretch. I've already said that the only SAM they have, that could have done this is Buk-M1 they've captured from Ukrainian army (there're documental evidence to that including their own claims and photos), but here're the problems: Blaiming Russia is a stretch because Boeing was in sight but out of reach for Russian air defence. While blaming Ukrainian army is easy, here're Buks, plenty of them, seems operational (see 0:53), video from July 5th:

I'm sort of agreeing with your opinion but you're leaving out the possibilty that Russia supplied the rebels with all that equipment. Afterall, the rebels did shoot down 2 cargo planes last week.
Having said that, I agree with you that it was not Russia or ther rebels that were responsible.
I can't see the video unfortunately. Could you post the link?
