The Israeli occupation force has killed another peace activist, 22
year old Tom from Manchester. They shot him in the back of the head.
He was trying to get two little girls out of the way of Israeli
snipers at the time. The only quote the IDF has put out so far is
"Palestinian fighters often use people as human shields to protect
themselves."
PLEASE at the very least forward the following email far and wide,
and the palsolidarity web address. It is an eye witness report and we
cannot let the IDF spin the story into Tom wandering into some
shoot-out between two armies. That was NOT the case. The true version of Rachel's death a few weeks ago drowned out the IDF "she ran out in front and the driver didn't see her" within hours, because everyone worked speedily to get the truth out.
It's the least we can do. God knows what else there is - speak out,
contact your local Israeli embassy and protest the shooting of
international human rights workers in the strongest terms - and see
what else may be done by following www.palsolidarity.org. There is
more there about what happened yesterday.
