Ziad al-Jilani's sister Iman sent along the picture of her brother and his youngest daughter, Yasmeen, 7, above, and the following letter containing the latest details on what the al-Jilani family believes to be the circumstances of the 40-year-old man's killing on Friday night in Jerusalem-- an everyday Palestinian story that is getting wide attention in the wake of the flotilla raid:
"He was shot in the arm already when he got out of the car and he was trying to avoid more shots to himself so he started running towards my uncle’s house. He was shot in the back and leg and fell on the ground shouting asking for help from my cousins and others. People tried to come help him but they were beaten with bats and would not let anybody near him. My brother was still alive but flat on the floor and totally unarmed but one of the policeman came with rage and came close by and put the gun in my brothers head and shot him point blank in the face twice and another in the
belly."

This poor man was murdered.
ReplyDelete<span>Yes it was murder. This can only happen because there's no accountability. It's going to be justified as usual..</span>
ReplyDeleteThis innocent man was murdered just like the activists on the boats - shot in the head execution style!
ReplyDelete<span>The national serial killer never stops and is protected and given accolades by the West and privileges. Why should they stop when they are rewarded for being murderous reprobates?</span>
