 "No one refused an order to take down a house. When they told me to destroy a house, I exploited that in order to destroy a few more homes. On the loudspeaker, the Palestinian civilians were warned to get out before I came in. But I didn't give a chance to anyone. I didn't wait."
Occupied Jerusalem: 8 June, 2002 (IAP News) - An Israeli war criminal who took part in the killing of numerous Palestinian civilians and destruction of their homes at the Jenin Refugee camp has boasted about what he did to the helpless Palestinians saying, " I didn't give a chance to anyone." The soldier, a bulldozer driver, identified as Moshe Nissim and who is slated to receive a medal of honor from the Israeli army for what he did at the camp, said he did "more, much more, than what I was instructed to do." "No one refused an order to take down a house. When they told me to destroy a house, I exploited that in order to destroy a few more homes. On the loudspeaker, the Palestinian civilians were warned to get out before I came in. But I didn't give a chance to anyone. I didn't wait." The war criminal went on: " I'm sure that people died inside of those houses. From my perspective, we left them a football field, they should play there, that was our present to the camp. Jenin will not return to be what it was." Nissim's incriminating words were published on Friday, 31 May, 2001, in the Israeli paper, Yedeot Ahranot. |

Jump To Comment: 1I do hope that this gallant "soldier" eventually receives his reward (medal) but what about the other IDF "heroes", what about the driver of the tank who drove over a wheelchair bound Palestinian man or the "hero" who shot a mentally handicapped Palestinian man. Should their valour not receives equal recognition.
