The picture of the killer after the lynching in Ramallah, this month 21 years ago, echoed the painful Jewish fate


Until the establishment of Zionism, the

Jews of the Land of Israel were known for years as "Olad al-Muth" - the children of death.

That is, those who are allowed and can be killed as much as they want, because there was no one to avenge their blood in an environment where there is no strong central government, and in a society where blood redemption was the only way to protect the individual.


Do not let the date slip under the radar.

This coming Tuesday, October 12, we will mark 21 years since the lynching in Ramallah.

Somehow, Ramallah has established itself as the capital of Palestinian secular normality.

Bars, malls, girls dressed in a relatively modern way.

Also in 2000, for the innocent and the naive, Ramallah symbolized modernism, an island of sanity, the secular Fatah stronghold. You can do business with them. They are the bright side of the darkness of Hamas in Hebron and the bustle of Nablus gangs.


But I do not buy used goods. Every year the disgrace of Ramallah should be mentioned. The commandment "Remember" the sights and voices that resonate with the statement of the late Naomi Shemer that "the Arabs love their murder hot and steamy, and if they ever have the freedom to fulfill themselves, we will miss the good and sterile gases of the Germans." Fear of the left-wing thought police.


When I think of the mob that abuses corpses, when I think of the lynching in Acre at the events of 1941, it is a little difficult not to find a nucleus of truth in her words.


It happened on a clear and beautiful Thursday morning, a few days after the outbreak of the second intifada. Reservists, got lost and got into Ramallah. Palestinian passers-by recognized them, blocked the road and began clearing stones. In the distance, the two spotted Palestinian policemen in uniform, Khalil Shawamra and Raed Mahmoud Jamal Sheikh. The soldiers, apparently, let out a sigh of relief. These will surely, thought Vadim and Yossi, treat us as members of a culture. As soldiers in soldiers. Max some bites, some curses, unpleasant but not terrible. After all, they are just reserve drivers, not fighters. They just got lost along the way.


The initial horror was replaced by a hint of a sense of security.

not for long.

Shwamra, who led the soldiers to the Ramallah police, inflamed the crowd, Jamal Sheikh asked the crowd to wait outside the station and promised to take the soldiers out into the street.

You will kill on the street and not at the station, he told the enthusiasts.

But Schwamra lost patience and opened the station doors for the killers.

The lynching began.


A crowd of Palestinians left outside the station crowded the yard and demanded a liter of his blood.

Norzic was thrown from the window on the second floor and Avrahami was taken out of the door into the hands of the mob.

Man is the most cruel beast, Nietzsche said, and he was right.

Nazis on steroids.

Vadim and Yossi, the saints, were stabbed, stoned, their eyes dislocated, their bellies rotted.


At 11:00 a.m., when Avrahami's wife called her husband's phone to demand his safety, one of his killers answered her with boast and mockery: "I slaughtered your husband a few minutes ago."

That's how she first heard about her husband's death.

The Palestinian mob dragged the soldiers

to al-Manara Square, the rioters ripped off their internal organs and burned Norjic. It was only when word spread that the IDF was about to retaliate that the crowd dispersed and the bodies were abandoned.


All the while, an Italian television crew documented the rampant barbarism. British photographer Mark Seeger, who tried to shoot, was attacked and his camera destroyed. It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen, and I've reported from Congo, Kosovo, and many other bad places ... I know not all Palestinians are like that, and I'm a very forgiving person, but I will never forget it. It was a murder of the most barbaric kind. When I think about it, the person's head, all smashed, I know I'll have nightmares for the rest of my life. "


To this day, I do not understand the distorted logic behind Prime Minister Barak's decision to warn the Palestinians and damage the empty police building. Valuable real estate revenge. After the warning to the Palestinians, IDF helicopters bombed the empty building, but before each attack, the pilots fired warning shots at an open area near it. God forbid that Palestinians should not be harmed.


To this day I wonder why as the mob roamed the streets, sacrificing parts of their faces in front of them, a helicopter did not dive at them in a cruel fire. The Americans eliminated half of his pile as revenge for downing a helicopter. The disgusted Palestinians were waiting for the revenge they deserved. She did not come.


Israeli restraint did not help either.

Western hypocrisy raged

hours later. The Italians who took the film, contrary to all journalistic logic, did not broadcast the images. They feared Palestinian revenge, also because of the overwhelming support of the Italian media for the Palestinian story. That evening, Italian television broadcast the attack on Air Force helicopters, but not the reason why. Italian journalists, testifying to Lynch, refused to be interviewed. They argued that they did not want to be a tool in the hands of one of the parties.


The full movie was finally aired. Threats began. Journalists in hysteria for fear of Palestinian revenge. The Italian state television reporter, the competing network, published an ad clarifying that his network did not film and broadcast and even apologized to the PA. The Italian ambassador to the UN wondered that The media. "


The image of the killer 'Abd al-'Aziz Saleha, waving his blood-stained hands happily through the window, has become one of the images of the new millennium. An image that echoed the painful Jewish fate. Those with bloody hands Khmelnitsky riots, riots, killing from Kishinev, Farhood.


During interrogation he admitted Saleh strangling one of the soldiers while others beat him. In October 2011, released scumbag part of the deal.


Last week the film won "Leah Zemel, a lawyer," Emmy Award For the best documentary. In 2019, the film also won the Docu Aviv Festival, unfortunately. One of Adv. Tzemel's famous clients is the same 'Abd al-'Aziz Saleha.


In an interview with Haaretz on the occasion of winning Doku Aviv, interviewer Ravit Hecht asked: "You represented 'Abd al-'Aziz Saleha, the man who participated in a lynching in Ramallah in October 2000 and was photographed waving his blood-stained hands at the police station window. When you turn to one, you have Doubts? "


Tzelel: "No. Not at all. What a lynching. You can think."
