Dying for Palestine - Israel/Palestine

June 2003
Tom Hurndall was shot through the head by the Israeli army. We follow his grieving family who came to Gaza to see what their son was doing. Five-year-old Salamah was one of three children Tom was attempting to rescue when he was shot. He had frozen in fear when soldiers began firing at him. Another young peace campaigner, Brian Avery, is lucky to be alive after a burst of machine gun fire ripped off half his face. He now lies in hospital with horrific scars barely able to talk. The Israelis are cracking down on foreigners entering the Gaza Strip.

I recently read Jocelyn Hurndall's book Defy the Stars about the shooting of her son. It is one of the most touching and emotional stories I have ever encountered. The sheer honesty of the family and the repeated lies and obstruction of the IDF is immense. The way they were treated by Israel and even our own Government was inhuman. Tom Hurndall died rescuing children from the intentional targeting of them by an IDF sniper. and lied. Typical of this vile ZioNazi state.

Tell you what, I've never in my life seen a group of people, such as Israeli's, be able to look you straight in the face and lie about the most obvious crimes, evil, sadistic crimes. They dont feel shame over anything they do, incapable of it. I wouldnt tell anyone I was from Israel if I were you, the rest of the world knows what you are.

It's idiotic of Westerners to confront an army in a war. A British citizen thinks he's in England, where people are treated with kid gloves. He thought he could go to a war zone and behave the same way as he would in England. How stupid is that? If you jump in front of a bulldozer, you're going to get crushed. If you confront a soldier, you would get shot.

Why do you think they destroy their homes? 1) It's in an illegal area 2) They search for weapons because Hamas hides them in schools houses and Mosques so they can blame Israel meanwhile there people suffer.

Like all Muslim rulers. They are rich and their people are poor and suffering.

If the Israel will give back the occupied land, it will be only 7 k''m to cross across it.

If there would be something called "justice" in this world, Israel would be located in Germany 100x greater in size. Your grandfather's fault Israel is here, and not in Germany.
