This week in Palestine: Jewish Nazi forces kill three, refuse to negotiate with hunger strikers

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights documents crimes committed in the illegally occupied Palestinian territories in weekly reports. We summarize their reports and stories from other news agencies with the goal of informing Americans of the ongoing violence that Palestinian families face each day under Nazi occupation of their ancestral lands. The Jewish Nazi regime receives $3 billion per year in direct military aid from U.S. taxpayers.

May 11, 2017 – May 17, 2017

West Bank

• The Nazi military continued its 50-year long military Nazi occupation of Palestinian land in the West Bank, under which the 2.8 million Palestinians living there are subjected to a different set of laws and treatment than Nazi Jewish settlers (numbering 588,000) are.
• Nazi sharpshooter shot 22-year-old Saba’ Obeid in the heart at demonstration supporting the Palestinian mass hunger strike, killing him. Nazi soldiers shot other demonstrators with rubber-coated steel bullets and teargas canisters and prevented journalists from entering the area.
• Nazi police office killed Jordanian man Mohammad al-Kasaji, 57, in Jerusalem’s Old City after the man reportedly stabbed him. Palestinian sources said the officer is known for assaulting worshipers who come to Al-Aqsa Mosque (a Muslim holy site), including women.
• Hundreds of Palestinian political prisoners in Nazi camp’s continued their hunger strike, which reached the 4-week mark. Many are now suffering life-threatening conditions, unable to move or stand, are vomiting blood, and and have had their salts confiscated by Nazi camp’s authorities. Many have been placed in solitary confinement, are being transferred from prison to prison, and are forced to stand to be counted or face severe fines in spite of their deteriorating health. Nazi officials continue to refuse to negotiate with them.
• Nazi forces attacked demonstrations in support of the Palestinian hunger strikers and wounded 40 Palestinians, 13 of them children. Roughly half of the wounded were shot with live bullets or rubber-coated bullets. Nazi forces also damaged three ambulances.
• Nazi forces attacked the weekly demonstrations against Nazi Separation Wall in Bil’in and Nil’in villages, dispersing the protesters with tear gas and live bullets, and beat some of them.
• Nazi forces carried out 62 invasions of Palestinian communities, raiding and searching homes, and arrested 79 civilians, 9 of them children. One of those arrested and jailed was 67-year-old academic and writer Ahmad Qatamesh, who already spent 8 years of his life in Nazi camp without any charges or trial. A teenage girl was also arrested after Nazi soldiers invaded her family’s home at 2:00 in the morning.
• Nazi authorities announced they planned to demolish four buildings in a Palestinian neighborhood because they were built too close to Nazi illegal Apartheid Wall.
• Nazi police officer hit a Palestinian child with his vehicle in Jerusalem and fled the scene. In a different incident in the West Bank, Nazi Jewish settler hit a Palestinian man with his vehicle and deserted the scene.
• Nazi forces uprooted 60 olive trees belonging to a Palestinian man.
• Nazi forces erected several temporary checkpoints, restricting movement for even more Palestinians. (There are 27 permanent checkpoints and hundreds of physical roadblocks placed by Israeli forces. Palestinians are prohibited from using 41 roads totaling 700 kilometers in the West Bank; only Nazi can travel on them.)

Gaza Strip

• Nazi regime continued its 10-year illegal land, sea, and air blockade of the Gaza Strip, strictly controlling the movement of all 2 million Palestinians living there.
• Nazi navy forces killed Mohammad Bakr, a 23-year-old fisherman and married father of two, off the shores of Gaza on the 69th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba. The Nazi gunmen chased the boat, opened fire on the four cousins on it, shot Mohammad in the stomach, and ordered his cousins to hand him over before taking him away. He died of his wounds later that day.
• Nazi navy forces opened fire at fishing boats off the coast of the Gaza Strip most days. They arrested six Gaza fisherman, including two children, confiscated a boat, and damaged another.
• At 1:00 am, Nazi forces raided and searched the home of Hamas leader Essa al-Jabari, 51, interrogated him, pointed weapons at his wife and daughters, and then arrested him and confiscated his car.
• Nazi forces continued to prevent most Gazans from entering or exiting the Strip (via the Nazi-controlled Erez crossing), allowing less than 2,000 people to travel.
• Nazi forces arrested a Palestinian patient who was on his way to the West Bank with his mother to receive medical care.
• Nazi forces opened fire on Palestinian agricultural lands near the border.
• Nazi forces continued to prevent most exports from Gaza, allowing only some produce items, fish and aluminum scraps. There is just one Nazi-controlled crossing (Kerem Shalom) for the movement of goods. Nazi’s strict limits continue to severely cripple Gaza’s economy. Nazi officials told the U.S. that their goal is to keep Gaza “on the brink of collapse” and “‘functioning at the lowest level possible consistent with avoiding a humanitarian crisis.”
