Two Palestinians Killed In Nakba Day Protests In West Bank
2014-05-16
[Ynet] Paleostinians claim the two were killed from live fire, while Israeli police front man denies live fire was used to disperse crowds.
Real or Paliwood? For that matter, have the Palestinian dead once again risen to walk, unmarked, among the living? Photos and video at the link to help you make your own decision, dear Reader.
Two Paleostinians were killed Thursday from IDF fire in a West Bank clash that erupted after Paleostinians marked Nakba Day, prompting a Paleostinian warning of a halt in security coordination with the Jewish state.

"The Paleostinian leadership cannot remain idle in the face of Israel's violations, the latest of which was the killing of the two young Paleostinians," Paleostinian security front man Adnan al-Damiri told AFP.

Dr. Samir Saliba, the head of the hospital's emergency department, confirmed both deaths.

A Paleostinian source at the hospital who spoke to Ynet said the two were killed from live fire. According to him, one of them was DOA, while the other, who arrived at death's door, died in surgery.

"And all this prompts the leadership to seriously consider a halt to security coordination with the Israeli side," he said.

Paleostinian medical officials said Muhammad Abu Thahr, 22, and Nadim Nuwara, 17, were both shot in the chest outside Israel's Ofer Prison near Ramallah. Three Paleostinians were maimed, one seriously.

The festivities erupted near a West Bank army checkpoint after some 200 protesters calling for the release of Paleostinians detained without trial set fire to tires and hurled stones at border police, marking the 66th anniversary of the "Nakba," meaning catastrophe, when many Paleostinians fled or were expelled from their towns and villages during the 1948 Independence War.
Mostly fled,with the promise from the five Arab armies and the Mufti of Jerusalem that they would get the Jews' possessions and property as booty when they came back after the conquest. They're still waiting.
Condemning the killings, Amnesia Amnesty International said Israeli forces had used "excessive, including lethal, force in response to rock-throwing protesters who could not have posed a threat to the lives of the soldiers and coppers in or near the fortified military camp."
Of course they did. It's F8 on the AI keyboard.
Police front man Micky Rosenfeld said Border Police broke up "disturbances," but did not use live fire.

The IDF said security forces attempted to disperse the demonstration with "riot dispersal means and rubber bullets."

"Reports regarding Paleostinian casualties are currently being reviewed," it said in a statement.

"The use of live bullets on protesters is a dangerous escalation by (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's turban government which aims to drag the region into a new cycle of violence," Wasel Abu Youssef, a senior Paleostinian official, told Rooters.

Netanyahu said earlier the Paleostinian commemoration was part of "endless propaganda" against Israel. The country would continue to build itself and its "united capital Jerusalem", and push ahead with a new law declaring Israel a Jewish state.
