Compounding the duplicity swirling around the case was the jurors'
remarkable verdict: Mr. Nelson was indeed guilty of depriving his victim
of
his civil rights by stabbing him - but not by killing him. Thus, instead
of
a possible life sentence, the murderer, with credit for time served, may
be
a free man in a matter of months.

It is thus with intense interest that we watch as a federal jury in
Brooklyn
hears the case of United States vs. Lemrick Nelson, Jr. and Charles Price
--
respectively, the accused killer of Yankel Rosenbaum, and the man charged

Israel Judge Promotes Her Court As a Model

Strike Breaking
STRIKE BREAKING (AS RE****TED BY NYT AND OTHER AMERICAN PAPERS)
THE JERUSALEM POST CORRESPONDENT HIRSH GOODMAN - they have not received
any
terrorist training, nor are they members of a terrorist organization.
Rather
they are
members of that Palestinian generation that grew up knowing nothing but
occupation
With anger, hatred, and sheer ferocity, thousands of youngsters hurled
rocks
at their Israeli occupiers, undaunted by the gunfire that greeted them.
This
was more than civil unrest. ...It was the beginning of a civil rebellion -
Dan Fisher, Los Angeles Times, December 20, 1987.
On that day, - wrote John Kifner in The New York Times, - the vast army of
Arab laborers who wait on tables, pick vegetables, haul garbage, lay brick
and perform virtually all Israel's menial work, stayed home.: John Kifner,
New York Times, December 22, 1987.
The Israeli response to the uprising was brutal. Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin ordered the use of tanks, armored vehicles and automatic rifles
against an unarmed population.
The San Francisco Examiner cited Rabin as openly advocating assassination.
"They can shoot to hit leaders of disorder," Rabin said in defense of the
army's practice of using marksmen with high-powered .22-caliber rifles to
shoot indiscriminately at Palestinian youth. - San Francisco Examiner,
December 23, 1987.
Rabin ordered house-to-house searches, first for young men and later for
anyone of whom an example might be made. By December 27, over 2,500
Palestinians were seized, many of them as young as twelve; by the end of
January the number reached 4,000 and was rising. The "militants "were
marked for de****tation. Israeli high-security jails and detention centers
were overflowing. Mass trials of Palestinians were underway.
The act of brutality which most inflamed the Palestinian population was
the
army seizure of the wounded from hospital beds. This practice, standard
procedure throughout the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, made ****fa Hospital
in
Gaza a center of resistance. Great crowds amassed to defend the wounded,
whom, they rightfully feared, would never be seen again.
No fear of Jews standing up against cruelty and sadism as the Christians
DID
again and again.

REMEMBER THIS IS AN UNARMED POPULATION UNDER OCCUPATION. -
http://www.mafhoum.com/press2/74P51.htm
A mother of a Palestinian man shot three times in the head by Israeli
soldiers was asked if she would let her remaining sons join the
demonstrations. " As long as I am alive, "she responded, "I am going to
teach the young people to fight ... I don't care whatever happens, as long
as we get our land." - John Kifner, New York Times, December 21, 1987.
"They entered the house like animals, shouting," the 22-year old student
at
Bir Zeit University said. "They took us from the house, kicking us in the
head, beating us, all the soldiers with their rifle butts."Two others, he
said, beat his hands with lengths of two-by-fours, breaking the bones.
The first priority is to use force, might, beatings. [This] is considered
more effective than detention ... [because] he may then resume stoning
soldiers. But if troops break his hand, he won't be able to throw stones.
-
New York Times, January 21, 1988.
AGAINST AN UNARMED CIVILIAN POPULATION.
No matter which house one calls, the anguished accounts of family members
wounded or arrested pour forth. Convoys of buses cruise the streets of
Nablus followed by vans of the Mossad, Israel's secret police. Army units
go
from house to house pulling youths from their beds at 3 a.m. As the buses
fill, the soldiers beat the youths viciously around the head, ****ns, groin
and back. Shrieks fill the air.
AGAINST AN UNARMED CIVILIAN POPULATION.
By April 1988 over 150 Palestinians had died. The Israeli government had
admitted to the arrest of 2,000 people, bringing the acknowledged total to
4,000. The real figure was far higher.
Sources in the West Bank and Gaza established that the number detained by
the weekend of March 27 had exceeded 13,000. Bassam Shaka'a, deposed Mayor
of Nablus, placed the total held solely in a hastily constructed
barbed-wire
encampment at Dhariyah at 10,000.
In the Balata camp outside Nablus, and in the Casbah - the old quarter -
l, 000 people were arrested in a period of 48 hours. The discovery of
people
in ditches in the fields - shot in the back or with their heads caved in -
has been re****ted from villages throughout the West Bank and Gaza
TWO OF THE CHILDREN, AGES 9 AND 11 , WERE TAKEN BY THE SOLDIERS IN THEIR
night clothes, frog-marched in the streets and beaten as they were forced
by
the jeering soldiers to clear debris.
NEW YORK TIMES
Fleets of helicopters fly over Nablus at night dropping a dense, green
toxic
gas over the city. The smell pervades every house. Armed units fire
canisters of the substance into houses at random. Doctors at Ittihad
Hospital re****ted several deaths and severe lung injuries from this as-yet
unidentified asphyxiating chemical, totally distinct from tear gas.
Among the victims was the grandmother of the Da'as family and the
100-year-old father of noted Nablus attorney Mohammad Irshaid. Soldiers
had
entered the house at 2 a.m., sma****ng furniture and firing a canister of
the
dreaded green gas while preventing the family from leaving.
Simultaneously, the Israeli army targeted the hospitals. Army trucks
rammed
ambulances and blocked them from reaching the homes of those overcome by
the
gas. Soldiers entered the Ittihad Hospital in Nablus numerous times,
arresting the wounded and those waiting to give blood to family members.
EVEN THE OPERATING THEATRE WAS INVADED WHILE SURGEONS WERE OPERATING ON
PATIENTS.
DOCTORS WERE BEATEN AND EQUIPMENT SMASHED. FAMILY MEMBERS WERE PREVENTED
FROM ENTERING THE HOSPITAL AND THE CARS OF DOCTORS AND NURSES WERE
DESTROYED
BY SOLDIERS.
Meanwhile, all of Nablus was paralysed by a total strike. All the streets
in
every quarter of the city were without open shops or business activity. As
gas permeated the city, cries and chants filled the night.
Gas canisters recovered by Bassam Shaka'a, Yousef al-Masri [chief of
Ittihad
Hospital] and American author Alfred Lilienthal bear the markings "560 cs.
Federal Lab. Saltsburg, Pa. USA MK2 1988." Biochemists are studying their
properties as casualties mount.
JOHN KIFNER re****ted on April 4 that "Hundreds of refugees were treated in
United Nations clinics for gas inhalation." On April 15, Kifner wrote,
"...gas has been thrown inside homes, clinics and schools where the
effects
are particularly severe."
This is still going on today, just cleverly concealed with active
participation of western democracies governments, western democracies
religious institions and western democracies media.
Apparently only the ungodly unreligious students find their conscience so
stirred that they have gone to the oppressed citizens aid with the
following
results.

Two peaceful protesters on Friday paid the price for standing in
solidarity with the villagers of Bilin to protest the theft of their
land when they were attacked and had to be carried to an ambulance for
evacuation. Ben received a blow to the forehead from a rifle butt
whilst a sound bomb was thrown at Jonathan's foot, which exploded on
his shoe leaving him unable to walk.
After the last two large demos, today's march to the wall could be
seen as an anti-climax, but the villagers of Bil'in were determined to
maintain the momentum of their struggle and were not disheartened by
the turn-out of around a hundred.
As has been the pattern in recent weeks soldiers reacted aggressively
to the peaceful chanting and flag waving, and when a few stray stones
came their way were quick to try and disperse the crowd with tear gas
and sound grenades.
Large numbers of soldiers poured through the gate to remove those who
remained and many were grabbed, pushed over and dragged along the
ground merely for standing there.
The occupation soldiers continued to use sound bombs and batons
against the protesters. Iyad Burnat, a member of the popular committee
in Bil'in who was hospitalized at the demo two weeks ago, was again
targeted and beaten on his body. Eleven other protesters were shot
with rubber bullets.
Apartheid Wall built by Israeli occupation forces has annexed almost
60% of the land of Bil'in village in the West Bank.
South Bethlehem villagers protest at worksite of illegally built
apartheid wall
Villagers from the South Bethlehem region came together again this
Friday to protest at the annexation and destruction of their
agricultural land. After prayers held on land belonging to Umm
Salamuna village, speeches were given by representatives from the
local communities and national organisations, and one speech was given
in English for the around 30 international and Israeli activists
appealing for sup****t in the upcoming struggle.
The 200-strong crowd then marched along the razed land which is
currently being leveled for the Apartheid Wall by diggers.
Some of the diggers moved away to work in a different area and
soldiers then blocked the path of the marchers to this area. The
villagers pointed out the injustice and illegality of the Wall but the
soldiers were unmoved and grabbed and pushed them back.
Residents from Wadi Annis sat down in front of the line of soldiers
and anti-occupation slogans were chanted before the crowd dispersed.
Ten villages surrounding Bethlehem will have agricultural land annexed
and destroyed by the Wall with the villages of Wadi Anniss, Um
Salamuna, Wadi Rahhal and Al Ma'sara most effected.
