Middle of the night raids, children terrorised In another of the increasing assaults on the people of Bilin village in Palestine, Israeli soldiers engaged last night in yet another middle of the night raid during which villagers were assaulted, property was trashed and children terrorized in their beds. This morning at 1.30 a.m. Israeli forces were again raiding a Palestinian home in Bil'in, the West Bank, Palestine, looking for Abdullah Mahmoud Aburahma. He was not at home. |

The money given by the USA to Israel is being used to support this kind of night-time hooliganism by men with guns who are afraid to show their faces.
Great credit to the international observers who remain as witnesses (how much worse would it be without them?)
The voice of an American woman saying to the soldiers repeatedly "What you are doing is against international law" is a relief in a horror video.
There is also a chilling exchange between a Palestinian and a soldier:
Palestinian: "This is Palestine"
Soldier: "This is Israel"
Wake up UN, EU, USA and all who purport to defend human rights.
Racism is for those who can barely think; people are what they do, more than their 'race' or culture. Jews for Justice for Palestine supports human rights in Palestine; some Jewish medics treat Palestinian children.
My last posting was a response to an anti-Semitic comment, now removed.
This latest story to arrive is from Palestine News Network. It is the account of Sheikh Suleiman Yasseen Mohammed Burnat, the father of Hamaza Burnat (age 16), whose house has been invaded at night five times so far within the past three months, usually around 3am.
They want Hamaza for allegedly "throwing stones" during protests at the Wall, but he has not been at home when they called. They confiscated family IDs, threatened to arrest the boy at school, threatened to invade the home nightly until he was arrested. After consulting the Palestinian Authority, the Sheik brought his son to prison, fearing for the boy's safety.
Without IDs the whole family is afraid to be seen outside in their Israeli-occupied village.
According to the report, within the past three months, 11 children under the age of 20 have been arrested, while most of the prisoners incarcerated since the beginning of the resistance against the apartheid wall five years ago are children.
"Members of the Bil'in Popular Committee against the Apartheid Wall are going to court on a regular basis in support of the many prisoners on trial", it says.
Sheikh Suleiman is well-known for always helping the injured during the weekly demonstrations by administering first-aid as Bil'in does not have any Ambulance Car available nor any trained Red Crescent personnel.
