Eyewitness to Ramallah Lynching
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A British photographer working on a pictorial study of Palestinian refugees stumbled on the event after the initial attack in the Ramallah police station. He did not witness that aspect. He subsequently described what he did see in The Sunday Telegraph, a respected British daily newspaper. The following is an extract:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I had arrived in Ramallah at about 10.30 in the morning and was getting into a taxi on the main road to go to Nablus, where there was to be a funeral that I wanted to film, when all of a sudden there came a big crowd of Palestinians shouting and running down the hill from the police station.
I got out of the car to see what was happening and saw that they were dragging something behind them. Within moments they were in front of me and, to my horror, I saw that it was a body, a man they were dragging by the feet. The lower part of his body was on fire and the upper part had been shot at, and the head beaten so badly that it was a pulp, like a red jelly.
I thought he was a soldier because I could see the remains of the khaki trousers and boots. My God, I thought, they've killed this guy. He was dead, he must have been dead, but they were still beating him, madly, kicking his head. They were like animals.
They were just a few feet in front of me and I could see everything. Instinctively, I reached for my camera. I was composing the picture when I was punched in the face by a Palestinian. Another Palestinian pointed right at me shouting 'no picture, no picture!', while another guy hit me in the face and said 'give me your film!'
I tried to get the film out but they were all grabbing me and the one guy just pulled the camera off me and smashed it to the floor. I knew I had lost the chance to take the photograph that would have made me famous and I had lost my favourite lens that I'd used all over the world, but I didn't care. I was scared for my life.
At the same time, the guy that looked like a soldier was being beaten and the crowd was getting angrier and angrier, shouting 'Allah akbar' - God is great. They were dragging the dead man around the street like a cat toying with a mouse. It was the most horrible thing that I have ever seen and I have reported from Congo, Kosovo, many bad places. In Kosovo, I saw Serbs beating an Albanian but it wasn't like this. There was such hatred, such unbelievable hatred and anger distorting their faces.
The worst thing was that I realised the anger that they were directing at me was the same as that which they'd had toward the soldier before dragging him from the police station and killing him. Somehow I escaped and ran and ran not knowing where I was going. I never saw the other guy they killed, the one they threw out of the window.
I thought that I'd got to know the Palestinians well. I've made six trips this year and had been going to Ramallah every day for the past 16 days. I thought they were kind, hospitable people. I know they are not all like this and I'm a very forgiving person but I'll never forget this. It was murder of the most barbaric kind. When I think about it, I see that man's head, all smashed. I know that I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life." |

| Somehow I'm not surprised. Isn't it cool what religion entitles one to do to another?! I'm sure this whole cluster is what "God/Allah" had in mind when he "created" humanity. |

This is one random incident that you are trying to generalize all palestinians as.
I can very well go into south central los angeles as a white police officer and get dragged and beaten by a gang of black youths that feel resentment. Does that mean that all Black people in South central are gang lynching murderers?
You are a ing racist Mike. YOu hate all arabs and cant stand the fact that much of the world is disgusted by the actions of your sacred Israel. People like you are the reason why there is a cycle of hatred. Becuase you stir it up with your prejudice and racist tendencies that you fail to completely mask, in what is a pathetic attempt to say the least.
There will be a Palestine, and you will forever be surrounded by ARABS and MIDDLE EASTERN PEOPLE. Live with it. Cause thats how it will be for a ver very long time. |

| Who cares if they surround Isreal? They already do! I think the point is to get them to stop playing cowboys and indians like a bunch of 5 year olds. It amazes me how anyone can defend people who deliberately kill innocent civilians in the name of a god who never endorsed such tomfoolery in the first place. |

most retarded part is that the jews aren't the enemies of islam ... the koran calls for respect for christianity and judaism since they all value the same God. |

| Every culture has it's extremist fundamentalists, but at some point you have to control them if their actions are leading to violence and suffering. |

| That is why we must kill them before they kill us!! Muhahahahaah! |

| But the problem is THESE extremists don't care if they die. It's not like you can negociate with them to prevent an attack. |

| I don't care if they die either. As long as we get them before they get us. |
