Israeli Soldier Arrested For Attempted Murder Of British Activist

imc uk | 03.01.2004 00:47 | Palestine | Repression | Social Struggles | World

13-01-2004: Tom Hurndall has died. A Vigil took place on Wed 14 . Background information here and website.

The Israeli sniper who shot activist Tom Hurndall brain dead has been arrested. The army leadership has now admitted that its initial accusations of Tom being armoured and in camouflage, as well as its claim that the soldier was returning Palestinian fire, were lies. The arrest is particularly important as opening fire on activists in Palestine is becoming increasingly regular for the Israeli army. Last Friday Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition into a non-violent action [photos]. Gil Na'amati, an Israeli from the Anarchist Movement Against the Wall, and an American woman of the International Solidarity Movement were seriously injured. On 1 January the Israeli army fired over 100 rubber bullets aimed at people's heads during another demonstration. Approximately ten people were taken to the hospital and deportation orders were issued against four activists, including a Swedish MP. Tom was shot in Rafah (Gaza, Palestine) in April last year while pulling away children out of the way of a tank. He is currently on life support in a London hospital.

who is building the zionists berlin wall ?

05.01.2004 15:39

which BUILDING COMPANIES are doing the contracts for this wall? i suspect it may be some of our old friends whose names have cropped up on htese pages before...
this wall is a massiv e project and the sheer cost of the thing may actually bankrupt the state of israel. they should not expect the USA to keep paying their bills forever, becuase if the economy there collapses wall-street tyle, the public may not be quite so keen after all. the whole teutonic totalitarian enterprise may be a last-ditch attempt to stave off the ineveitable; think of other, useless walls in history and you get the idea- china, the roman walls on the scotland border, and of course, berlin.

911

06.01.2004 13:52

Given that Osama owned up to 911, it seems a little stupid to still be peddling this conspiracy twaddle.

Osama is still preaching his hatred:

Do Indy media ever say anything about that, or is Bush thought to be worse?

Wake up, Anthony

07.01.2004 13:25

Wake up, Anthony ! There IS a conspiracy - don't forget that the CIA met with Osama in a Saudi Arabian hospital in July 2001, and that during the 3 days of no commercial flying in the US after 11 Sept 2001, a private plane flew around the US picking up members of the Bin Laden family on their way out of the country. Also look at the financial links between the Bush family and the Bin Laden family, amongst others, and the activities of the Carlyle group in connection with Afghanistan and Iraq. I could go on, but that's enough for now !!

Before he was shot

It's a photo from before he was shot. I expect more than one photo was taken of him in his lifetime, hm?

Look in your mirror carefully, and in the foreground you can see an ignorant tosser.

Hard 2 believe

08.01.2004 08:35

I find it hard to accept that , was it anthony, anyone really believes the Bin Laden fairy tale .
Bin Laden might as well be Bambi , Bugs Bunny or take your pick from any disney character .

But Bin Laden is not the first "world famous terrorist" that the U.S have produced.
I guess you radical lefies don't remember me, I was linked to just about every terrorist
group in the world. Kidnapped the OPEC ministers in Vienna ....
But as david Yallops book "To the ends of the earth" explains in great detail I was set up
by the CIA . The reason being that the U.S government was very keen to make it look that
the U.S.S.R sponsored terrorism , so basically I was given a free hand to carry out atrocities
all over the world . I was wanted in France cos one day when I was a bit bored with being
an international terrorists i chucked a hand grenade into a Cafe in Paris .
After about 15 years I was nicked and not much has been heard of me since ..

In this book Yallop also covers the Genocide of Sabra and Chatila, dirty work of a certain prominent nazi .

Yallop also wrote another good book "In Gods Name" which covered the death of Calvi (ponte do fratteli Neri)
and a Pope P2 (Blackfriars) it also covered " Strategy of tension" part two of which is playing at a cinema nr you
(bologna) . Also quite relevant with the latest up surge in "government sponsored anarchy" .. pull the uvvver one

Bin Laden is not by any means the first and he won't be the last..

israel not egypt

if you believe the idf is part of this anti-israeli conspiracy you would be making sense. but i figure that since they (and all the mainstream media reporting on them) confirm the above story you are not. the picture in the article is just a good picture of a good person, when he was still the promising photographer he was only a year ago. please respect the people around you...

Tom's death: Angel of Mercy

10.01.2004 08:08

Yeah, Tom looks cool taking picture near the great Pyramid. From the article, we ceratinly can call him Angel of Mercy. He is the Superman that cares so much of others lives except he was not blessed with "armour". Israeli's regime decided to give him an "armour" when reporting his death. Even a huge armour could not save him from Israeli's tank. The motto is - squeeze them to death or shoot their brains out. Remember, the tit-for-tat motto. Don't you think Israelis have the political power to stop this "kill thy neighbour" nonsense. I'm pretty sure their blood is red like mine and their brain is white no less. If these Israelis do not find pain in the perpetual fights/mayhems, then they surely relate to pain of having no sustainable economy. Right now, Uncle sam is so caring in providing a lifeline (read handout) to israelis. These ancient people (israelis) can live without handouts. They are much independent. For god's sake they did not licked the Romans butts (of course someone got to pay for it - Jesus). Now I'm issuing a challenge to all Israelites to stop taking handouts from anyone and build their own country and live peacefully with everyone else. Israel is much too strong to be scared. Use your political will and remove the warmongers idiots (read your leaders). You guys have elections, don't you.
