| Gaza Goombas: bulldozer incident investigation needs international supervision |
| 2008-07-08 |
| Cue the International Dog and Pony Show... Gaza – Ma'an - Addameer (Conscience) Prisoners' Support and Human Rights Association, a Palestinian non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting and protecting the rights of political prisoners and detainees released a statement on Saturday condemning "execution" of Jerusalem bulldozer attacker Husam Dwayyat. The statement described the execution as "violation of the right to life. " And now he's UnAddameer. Permanently. The statement also slammed the Israeli Knesset's decision to demolish the man's home, describing the action as "racial behavior and collective punishment™ against Palestinian residents of Jerusalem." Yes, yes. I'm sure they'll add it to the list... The association demanded in its statement that investigations be held under international supervision since there are some indications that the incident was in fact a road accident with nothing to do with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In Addameer's statement, they suggest that the attacker may simply have lost control of his bulldozer. At around noon on July 2 the terrorist took a large tractor belonging to a construction company and began driving it at great speed in the wrong lane along Sarei Israel Boulevard in the center of Jerusalem . He hit three cars and several pedestrians. He then turned left into crowded Jaffa Road , ramming and crushing two more cars. An oncoming bus went out of control and was thrown to the side of the road. The terrorist used the shovel of the bulldozer to ram and then overturn another bus. Sorry, boys. Don't think so. Addameer called on the international community to intervene in order to halt the process – already in motion – to destroy the home of the Dwayyat family. Yep. I'm sure the "international community" will be getting right on that... |
