Mother of Akal Srur

Several days ago (Friday June 5) another Palestinian man, Akal Srur, was killed by Israeli soldiers in the weekly demonstrations in Niilin (we were not there that day). Israeli media is just as manipulative as U.S. media, note the headline of this article, “IDF: Man killed in Naalin was Hamas operative”: 

Of course, he may have been a “member” of Hamas, but that’s just like saying he was a Democrat or Republican in the U.S. – the two main political parties are Hamas and Fatah. And to call him an “operative” of course makes it sound like he was following orders from high up, was on a mission, maybe was armed. He wasn’t on a mission, he just lives in Niilin and joins the demonstrations almost every Friday. He was one of 5 Palestinians killed in Niilin in the last year and a half. 

We were in Niilin last week for a memorial service for him, will post from that footage soon.

    Why don’t you point out the other side?? The Fence has saved many Jewish lives – everything is a tradeoff, everything has a price. Why don’t they use legal ways of protest instead of throwing rocks (a friend of mine was almost killed by one when he served in the IDF).
