The Palestine Monitor, An Information Clearinghouse
EYEWITNESS REPORT
ISRAELI ARMY and SETTLERS SHOOT to KILL UNARMED PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS
March 6, 2001
The Israeli army and settlers are increasingly and purposefully
targeting
Palestinian civilian areas located in the vicinity of illegal Israeli
settlements, causing numerous deaths and injuries. This past week, a
nine-year old boy was shot and killed while in his bedroom, a woman was
shot
and killed while shopping with her family, and a fifty-four year old man
was
killed by a rocket which was shot into his home.
On March 2, 2001, nine-year old Obei Mohammed Darraj was killed as he
was
helping his father paint a window frame at home. The Palestine Monitor
team
visited the boy’s family on March 4, 2001. Obei’s father confirmed that
there had been no exchange of fire between Palestinians and the Israeli
army
and settlers that day. The bullet that entered the little boy’s chest
and
exited from his back, was fired from the illegal settlement of Psagot.
Another bullet also entered the family’s living room. Upon seeing his
son
collapse, Obei’s father called an ambulance but couldn’t bear the pain
of
seeing his son bleeding to death while he waited, so he decided to carry
him
to the hospital himself. At 3:30 the boy was declared dead.
On March 3, 2001 at around 7:30 pm, Aida Daoud Moussa Fatiha was shot
dead
next to the Quakers’ Boys’ Friends school by a 50-caliber, anti-tank
bullet
fired from the illegal Israeli settlement of Psagot. Aida Fatiha was
walking
in the street with her husband and children, shopping in preparation for
the
Eid feast when she was killed. While the settlement is relatively far
from
the mid-town area where Aida Fatiha was shot dead, the type of guns and
ammunition used by the Israeli army against Palestinian civilians have
an
extremely long range.
On March 4, 2001, the Palestine Monitor team visited the house of
54-year
old Mohammed Badarin of Ramallah who was killed by an Israeli rocket on
February 27, 2001 as he was sitting in his living room. Mohammed Baradin
leaves behind a family of ten children. The day the shelling happened,
there were some clashes between Palestinian youth and the Israeli army
at
the City Inn Hotel and Beit Eil settlement intersection. According to
his
brother, unusually heavy rounds of bullets were fired into Palestinian
residential areas facing the nearby Israeli settlement of Beit Eil. The
shooting was coming from three different directions and civilians were
caught in the crossfire for an hour and a half, starting at 6 pm.
At 8:30 pm that same evening, Israeli tanks starting firing rockets at
the
house of Mohammed Badarin, although the clashes had stopped an hour
before.
An Israeli rocket hit Mohammed Badarin as he was sitting in his living
room.
The rest of the family was dispersed in different rooms, some of the men
were attempting to remove cooking gas canisters from the kitchen for
fear
that they would be hit by subsequent shelling. According to testimonies
by
his family, Mohammed Badarin’s body was torn into several pieces. The
Palestine Monitor team noticed numerous pools of blood splattered over
the
walls and ceiling of the living room. Shortly afterwards, the second
floor
of the Badarin family’s house was hit by a second rocket, although
clashes
had long stopped by that time.
The Badarins’ home is severely damaged and uninhabitable. The façade of
the
home is riddled with hundreds of bullet holes and there are two-meter
wide
holes on each of the floors of the house. Bullets and rockets entered
the
home, causing severe damage to its contents. The Badarin family now has
to
sleep on makeshift beds on the floor, scattered in the house’s
corridors.
There are no longer any rooms that can be utilized, except for the
kitchen
which has windows pierced by several bullet holes.
On this same night of shelling, the nearby Ministry of Local Councils
was
also hit by several hundred bullets and by a rocket, which completely
destroyed the top floor.

It is utter nonsense to take what happened in this country a hundred and seventy
years ago as license for Israeli Jews to kill Palestinians in real time. You talk
about hypocrisy. This isn’t hypocrisy, it is chutzpah, a word necessary to
describe this.

Mr. McVay is spamming the NG. He repeats this defamation of the poster
time after time after time, and since he has it on a file, it takes him not time
at all
to put it forth. He is to be castigated for doing it, and if it continues I will
take it up
with his ISP.

The post points out that Ronald Lauder is a right wing Zionist,
of the Kahanist stripe, and that he is also the owner of Estee Lauder
cosmetics. Any person who supports Israel is not a good citizen of this
country, and his business should be boycotted.

The STudents and student teachers at BErkeley are trying
to get the university to disinvest from companies doing business with
Israel. Since Israel is a horrible oppressive regime, which is carrying
out a long continued campaign of ethnic cleansing in Palestine,
and systematically discriminating against its non Jewish citizens,
this is a perfectly appropriate action on their part and is not
antisemitic in the least. American Jews have been at the forefront of
civil rights efforts for seventy years at least, and should applaud their
efforts. ONly Zionsimps like Mr. Goldstein call them antisemitic.
Of course, you will note that there is no substantiation of the charge.
There can’t be.

What, Martin, you don’t think that Mrs. Black gets a forum
because she is the wife of the publisher? Get real. And you don’t think
that her articles are bigoted pieces of trash? Shall I get one for you and

I urge people to go to this site and decide for themselves whether
they think there is anything antisemitic there.
There is certainly nothing of the sort in the post reproduced.

Ali Abunimah is a distinguished Arab American writer who lives near Chicago.
He editorialized on news reports of the shelling of the school. If Israel
chooses to shell a school, they should have to deal with the news.
I think that Israel doesn’t care, because they have enough media on their side
they
don’t have to worry about bad publicity.

It is clear that this was management of the news in that
reporters who might ask “unsafe” questions were prevented
>from doing so. How reporting the fact of the suppression
of questions becomes antisemitic is not a question one may
expect Mr. Goldstein to answer. He is not in business here to
be coherent.

Here I have to laugh. Ha’aretz is one of the biggest papers in Israel
and is, if I am any judge, Zionist. How an article from Ha’aretz
qualifies as antisemitic, GOK.
