Israel Shoots To Death Palestinian For Banging On A Drum

by Kevin
and you thought South Africa's apartheid was bad........It ain't nothing like little Israel's version. And this wasn't any "accident" this is Israeli on-going policy. Declare a "curfew" and then kill any man, woman,and child that they see; shoot them with snipers in tanks.
Palestinian sources reported Wednesday evening that IDF troops killed 33-year-old Ataf Abiya in the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Earlier Wednesday, IDF troops shot dead a Palestinian as he was banging a drum to announce the beginning of the Ramadan fast in a refugee camp near the West Bank town of Nablus, hours after senior local Hamas and Fatah military commanders were killed in the Jenin refugee camp in what security sources said was an Israeli assassination.

Later on Wednesday, a suspected Palestinian would-be suicide bomber militant was killed when the car he was driving, packed with explosives, blew up as it headed towards an Israeli military outpost near Nissanit settlement in the Gaza Strip, the IDF and Palestinian witnesses said. There were no other casualties in the Gaza incident, for which the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claimed responsibility, Israel Radio reported.

In the pre-dawn hours Wednesday in the Askar refugee camp east of Nablus, IDF troops opened fire on Jihad a-Natour, 24, as he was going from alley to alley in the camp to announce the beginning of the dawn-to-dusk fast.

Military sources told Israel Radio that a-Natour was shot after he had violated the curfew imposed on the camp,

Gee, I wonder what the excuse will be, "oh we thought the guy banging on the drum was a terrorist", "oh, we shot the UN Official in the back because he had a cell phone", "oh, we shot the 8 year-old kid because he was throwing rocks", "oh, oh, oh,oh,..."
how about, the truth: "we've lost all moral compass, we have become what we think we're fighting, we've become the terrorists, we've become the racists, we've become the SS".

Did you ever stop to wonder why Israel put these towns under curfew? Could it have to do with the killing bu bombs, guns and suicide attacks agains innocent Israeli's? Or do you think it's because Israel just likes to kill innocent people? Don't forget who initiated the intifada, when they had an offer of yet another arab state in the middle east. Is ther not room for one little Israel amongst all those arab states?

Yes, that is a good question, who started the intifada? Well, let's see, first we have Sharon & his hundred Israeli military going to the "temple mount", then we have the Israelis killing 19 unarmed Palestinians...if you want to know who started the intifada, go to the Israeli Peace org. Btselem and check out the statistics, and I think you'll find the answer

Here's some data that might answer your question:

deaths in Sept., 2000 Palestinian 19 ; Israeli 1

Deaths in Nov., 2000 Palestinian 150; Israel 22

Remembeer Kenya's war for indpendence? The Mau-Mau killed about 160 people. They lost a little over sixteen hundred of their own. They won the war. They whupped a nuclear power with zip guns, knives made out of automobile leaf springs tenacity and superior organizational skills, while taking casualties at a rate of ten to one.

Yeah, it *can* be done.
