I wonder what went into Fadel’s mind early morning before his murder?
Fadel, 23 years old the day he was killed, was known to be a gentle person, popular among his coworkers in Reuters where he worked for 3 years.
Around 5 PM, Fadel stepped outside his vehicle to take the last footage in his life. A Flechette Shell (pointed steel projectile, with a vaned tail for stable flight), fired by an IDF tank dug a few meters away from him, aimed precisely to complete the mission to terminate the most dangerous of their enimy, an Arab Journalist, capable of exposing their genocides.
As usual, IDF first comment is to deny the fact (was it Hamas using that tank or something?) then later on to mention that they are sorry for such incident but journalists were putting their lives at risk in areas of combat (does anyone count the times they repeat the same statment?).
Later on, an Israeli military spokeswoman, Major Avital Leibovich, said there had been clashes there throughout the day after the three Israeli troops had been killed overnight in the same area (Again, a typical off shelf comment).
Reuters comments in their article that “The Reuters vehicle was an unarmored sport utility vehicle bearing “TV” and “Press” markings.”
And as usual, an investigation was promised but nothing happened so far.
I have been looking for this clip over YouTube for quite some time after watching the great compilation about Gaza conflict, until finally I learned that the name of this person to be Craig Murray, a British politician and a former ambassador at Uzbekistan.
This speech took place on Saturday 10/01/2009 in London.
He gave in 11 important arguments in his speech
This operation is a shame on the whole mankind since this is a crime against civilians
He is ashamed of his former colleagues who are delaying the diplomatic process leading to a cease fire which is blackmailing the Palestinians
He does not accept the existence of the state of Israel similar to his denial of the existence of the Apartheid of South Africa
Israel is based on ethnic cleansing
Israel is based on racism
We see news of Sderot village everyday in the news and how people living in it are living on fear of being under attack, and never mentioned once that this village is originally a Palestinian village and it was stolen from the Arabs who were pushed out of it
We stand together with the people of Palestine
We stand for a Palestine which is one country not tiny home lands.
We stand against racism
Zionism is B.S
3000 years ago his Celtic ancistors were living in Switzerland and he can not claim Switzerland. So Zionism is none sense.
This was was so cruel, that no real human could overlook. I believe that there are true humans in every nation, and Israel itself the nation of the offense, had those who could not be convinced that killing children is something right, because they have pure hearts. They decided to protest against this war and they were accused to be traitors because of their opinion, they are among the righteous people in this world.
I would like to thank them, but I don’t know how.
That was the essence of the Rabbi’s preachings to IDF troops during and before the war on Gaza. this might explain the reason behind the cruelty in this war and the violations to human rights!
I read a report from a local network about this topic and could not comment or write about it until there is a solid proof that it took place, thank God there is, and the suffering of those who lived and living in Gaza will not remain their own secret anymore, the whole world can have a quick glimpse on the fanatic justification behind what the IDF have called “Cast Lead”.
Brigadier General Avichai Rontzki, among others where responsible for this way of handling civilians, there were some incidents where children and women were reported to be shot from short distance, and today after we read and listen to these reports, we know why!
It seems that we are not alone in this planet, and there are some humans who still inhabit other places in the world who can see what is going on in that hot spot.
This report by CBS Network, titled “Is Peace Out Of Reach?”, where Mr. Bob Simon probes into a hidden factor outside Gaza preventing the Two State Solution, illegal settlements. Israeli settlers are using this technique to enforce a geopolitical defacto factor preventing the possibility of existence of any sort of Palestinian State!
This problem is so old and generations kept thinking of a solution for it. The only way out we believe in, is the One State Solution, where the whole land is considered as one state, and a universal constitution protecting every single soul in this land. Where Jews, Christians and Muslims have the right to practice their rituals and live in peace and dignity, it might require some sort of complicated political handling due to diversity in both beliefs and ethnicity’s, to reach a stable and peaceful state.
Israel, as a “Jewish” state is not the solution, because for you to be a full fledged citizen, you have to have Jewish origins, not only Jewish belief, which is not fair for almost 4 million Arabs mostly Muslims living in the same land. On the other hand, repelling the Jewish immigrants is not a fair solution, since so many of them are 2nd, third or even fourth generation of immigrants who have no other place to go. However, Jewish immigration should stop until this soulution is implemented and stable enough to receive more immigrants, be it Jewish, Christian or Muslim immigration.
That is what BBC anchor thinks, that it is a wise idea to prevent charity in order to avoid any chance that Hamas might put their hands on some of that money. how righteous this mentality is. I wonder if you had to stay hungry for three days, or ill without medicine for one week, what will happen to your reasoning.
