Israeli police refuse to release video of Qalandiya murder
Palestinian Information Center – May 1, 2016
NAZARETH – The Israeli occupation police refused to release a video documenting the murder of a young Palestinian lady and her brother who posed no threat to the occupation troops, Hebrew press said on Sunday.
According to the Israeli police version, 23-year-old Maram Saleh Abu Ismail and her 16-year-old brother Ibrahim refused their order to stop and posed a threat to officers.
The Israeli police further claimed that Maram wielded a knife before she was shot along with her brother, who was walking behind her, by the Israeli police.
Eyewitness accounts, however, contradict such Israeli claims, saying the two casualties posed no threat and were at a distance from the occupation troops, who talked to them in a Hebrew language which they did not understand.
Haaretz newspaper quoted Israeli police sources as stating that videos documenting live scenes cannot be released during the investigation phase.
According to the newspaper, similar recordings legitimizing police use of force were released in the past. Israeli police claimed, after searching the casualties’ bodies, that Ibrahim was holding a knife, which was discredited by eyewitness accounts.
The newspaper said a snapshot picked up at the scene shows the two martyrs lying on the ground 15 meters away from the checkpoint and in a place where no Israeli police officers were deployed.
MK Dov Khenin (Joint Arab List) demanded that “Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan launch an immediate probe into the scene and release the video.”
Khenin said no recordings were released despite the fact that the checkpoint was equipped with several cameras.
Maram, who was shot dead by the occupation troops, is a mother of two children and was expecting another baby. She was killed on her way to al-Maqasid hospital in Occupied Jerusalem.


If this had been a Zioentity Jewish mother expecting another child, the world would be abuzz and aflame with Zionist claims of murder and Palestinian hatred of any Jew, anywhere.
I grieve for young Maram Saleh Abu Ismail, her unborn baby, her now-bereft children and husband, her brother the child Ibrahim, and all members of the Palestinian community (“family”) resisting in ways large and small the Zionist juggernaut. Zionism is Nazism on steroids, in full view and with no accountability. How distasteful; such a blot on humankind.

Beyond the striking similarity between Zionist and Nazi ideology stands one major difference.
Nazism fought the world’s major empires, not all by choice.
Zionism directs the world’s major empires.
