Nilin youth dies following shooting by Israeli army in Gaza solidarity demo

NIlin support group Palestine | 01.01.2009 20:08 | Smash EDO | World

Dear members,

I'm writing you this message with the very sad news that tonight also Mohammad Khawajah (20 yrs old) died in Ramallah Hospital as a direct result of his severe injury.

Mohammad and Arafat were both shot (with live ammunition) by Israeli soldiers last sunday during a demonstration in solidarity with Gaza in Ni'lin. Arafat was shot in his heart (through his back) and died shortly after. Mohammad was shot in the back of his head and was brought to Ramallah Hospital. His injury was too severe to treat and this resulted in his death tonight.

Mohammad's funeral will be in Ni'lin tomorrow.

For more information, you can contact (tomorrow):
Hindi Mesleh: 0599 83 9843
Ahmad Mesleh: 0599 858 739

with respect,

NIlin support group Palestine

I find the post above offensive, we do not need more warmongerers - we need more actual peacemaking.
Curb it, the threats and abuse - it helps noone - ought that post be allowed to exist?

lhm

i find ihm's post offensive

well ihm, I find your pathetic post offensive. i hope all murderers and fascists are made to pay. don't you? you can go and dance or sit down somewhere for peace while others fight for a better world.

Best thing would be for their to be a revolution beneficial for all, far better

than vengeance, cops or army guys who have murdered not in self defence when they are in mortal danger should be held to account. But the best solution would be for us to have more real democracy & no more provocations etc.

Why do you threaten us Europeans? You are a mad man

02.01.2009 00:43

So gets this straight, you threaten a rebellion in Europe over something happening in Israel, over which Europe has nothing that can do about.

Of course Europena soldiers could be sent to deffend Gaza that is what you want, get Europe to do what want them to do, but not really take revenge over anything they have done, which they havent.

Who is the fascist here? It is you obviously.

Jim

Europe can do nothing?

You wouldn't think it to listen to them. If the government repeatedly fail to deliver on their promises, it's only to be expected that some people want to get rid of them.

Besides, rebellion is surely the ultimate democratic reform.

With regard to the 1st poster (anom) - the police should be allowed to use live ammunition on him because he is a waste of space.

whats that smell...

to me jim sounds a bit like a lump of pork or atleast some of the dripping. would explain why he finds it offensive.

the world does need a rebellion, nearly everyone in the world admits that it aint working. and sure as hell it isnt...so things have gotta change ie a revolution.-jim doesnt seem to understand this and thats why i think hes a pig.
in the course of a revolution the pigs would be put to the test-whether they continue to be used as pawns by the rich or they decide to join the side of the people repenting their misdeeds and asking for forgiveness. those who oppose a peoples revolution have chosen their own destiny.

europe and america can stop israel in a flash. but they choose not to. why i dont know theres several thousand reasons for them to step in, but some how i think that theres billions of dollars in it for them to turn the preverbial cheek.

eh?

Is your going on about pork having a good at Islam or something?

re: Eric - the pork reference is implying Jim is a cop

re: Eric's comment on why the pork reference:

It's because he thinks that Jim is a cop i.e. pig i.e. pork, nothing to do with religious dietary laws.
