Petition to US government to Sanction Israeli Colonel Yisrael Shomer for murder of teenager who ...
The US government must use all tools possible to bring peace to Israel/Palestine. We need to single out the worst offenders with violence. One tool is sanctioning individuals who have committed heinous crimes against unarmed or fleeing individuals. On July 3, 2015 Israeli Colonel Yisrael Shomer summarily executed a 17 year old boy, Muhammed Ali-Kosbah. Although Yisrael committed the act of murder, the government of Israel gave statements supporting the colonel summary execution. One comment is from Naftali Bennett, the head of the Jewish Home Party, who is the current education minister.
Why is this important?
The spate of violence currently enveloping Jerusalem is direct result of behavior of Israeli police, army and settlers tormenting Palestinians. Over 30 Palestinians have been killed by israeli police army and settlers since Oct 1. Most are innocent of any crime. The government of Israel is inciting the violence by encouraging people to summary execution of Palestinians for crimes or perceived crimes. The Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, went on television and said for all Israeli Jews who have gun permits to go to streets of Jerusalem. He did not say to kill Palestinians but what do you think he meant? There are several reports about marauding Israeli Jewish mobs chasing and murdering Palestinians who have committed no crime.
This is not the only incident. On Sept 22, Hadeel Al-Hashlamon,18 year old girl, was murdered by another israeli soldier. The soldiers were not in danger and photographers took many pictures of the soldier trying to decide if he could get away with murder before he shot her. Since he took so long to shoot her he could have shot her in the leg and then got her medical treatment. He instead shot her in the chest. Then went and shot her again after she had fallen down. The video of Jewish settlers looking over the dying girl and making jokes and laughing is quite upsetting.
The Israeli government thinks summary execution is good and only for Palestinians. Here are comments made by members of israeli government;
The economy minister, Naftali Bennett, said in a cabinet meeting how he didn’t like these releases of Palestinian prisoners. “If you catch terrorists, you simply have to kill them,” he was quoted in Yedioth Ahronoth as saying. The head of the National Security Council, Yaakov Amidor, told Bennett, “Listen, that’s not legal.” Bennett replied: “I have killed lots of Arabs in my life – and there is no problem with that.”
Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel, David Lau, was seen on a video telling an audience of yeshiva boys that they shouldn’t watch Euroleague basketball games in public; it was bad for their image. “What difference does it make,” Lau said, “if the kushim who get paid in Tel Aviv beat the kushim who get paid in Greece?” Kushim, especially when used in a dismissive context like Lau did, is a well-understood derogatory term for blacks.
Likud Knesset member Miri Regev called Sudanese refugees “a cancer on our body” to a crowd of hopped-up south Tel Avivians in May of last year, shortly before the crowd went on a window-smashing mini-pogrom against the Africans in the neighborhood.
The government of Israel is racist to the core and needs outside influence to stop mass murder like the US and UN and any other country.
