Citizens for Fair Legislation
For Immediate Release
September 16, 2004
********************************
CFL ALERT: In the past 24 hours eleven Palestinians have been killed,
including an eleven year old girl-three more children are in critical
condition.
TALKING POINTS
*Dr. Samir Abu Srour, Director of the Rafidia hospital said that there was
evidence that the men had been killed execution style while they were being
restrained, i.e., one man had a boot print on his chest. Evidence suggests
that these young men were shot at close range as the bullets didn't pass
through their skulls, rather they exploded in them. All five men were found in
close proximity of each other. An eleven year-old girl was also shot in the
cheek and died while in her home by a soldier occupying a nearby house. An
eleven year-old boy is in critical condition after being shot in the head with
a rubber bullet at close range, dislodging part of his brain. A thirty-five
year-old, mentally challenged man, was shot in the head and a thirty-three
year-old man was shot in the femur. Both are in the intensive care unit. The
number of dead is expected to rise. The Israeli army has also occupied several
homes and a church and detained several members of the church including 13
disabled children and elderly men and women who are living in the centers
belonging to the church. When a priest tried to enter the church to check on
the condition of the people, an Israeli soldier pointed his machine gun at his
head and threatened to shoot him. They were forced to remain in one room
without food or water until 12:00pm. Please, take a moment to contact all of
your elected officials today and tell them to stop to stop these war crimes by
Israel. Express your outrage that Israel is using billions of dollars in U.S.
aid to carry on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the continued theft
of Palestinian land.
