Extract from:  http://jerusalem.indymedia.org/news/2002/04/2173.php

things get worse and worse for the palestinians

right now on wbai, 99.5 fm in nyc, they are on the phone with a person in Palestine, and in the background you can hear as israeli troops shoot people, including a journalist and a woman, and the bewildered reaction from the person on the phone. idf troops in a tank are shooting people that have their hands up in the air.

according to the person on the phone, the troops were shooting at the floor but the bullets were bouncing up into the people. i believe some ambulances were able to ake it on the scene.

it appears as if the idf are targeting
anyone who appears to be a journalist. they are now shooting a cameraman. three people are injured.

you can hear the anguished cries of people in the background.

a massacre is playing out live on the radio.

this is truly a sickening and enraging thing to hear.

all nations must immediately cut all diplomatic ties with israel. if the european union has any backbone they will enact an economic blockade. maybe someone should start arming the palestinians, maybe we need another abraham
lincoln brigades.

this is all out war, paid for and supported by the u.s. we must protest these actions. maybe what i say doesnt make sense, i'm dumbfounded right now. what is the justification for this? how do they feel that they can treat people like this and get away with it?
