Israeli forces continue systematic crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt)

"Liebe Alle, es ist kaum zu fassen, die Zerstörung , das Morden, die nächtlichen Überfälle , die Angriffe israelischer Soldaten und Siedler in Palästina gehen weiter, dass dann palästinensische Jugendliche mit Messern gegen Israelis vorgehen, wundert mich nicht. Es geschieht aus Verzweiflung; sie sind für mich keine Terroristen. (Siehe Evelyn Galinski!) Endlich hat die „Junge Welt“ einen ausführlichen Bericht über das, was in Palästina geschieht: gezielte Vertreibung (hoffentlich könnt Ihr, können Sie diesen Anhang öffnen) und hier unten der Wochenbericht von PCHR , der Menschenrechtsorganisation.... Mich belasten diese entsetzlichen Berichte so sehr, dass ich tagelang nicht übersetzen konnte. Salam – Shalom"  Ellen Rohlfs
