I am one of those Israelis who believe that it's my duty as a human being to stand with you. I have no words to express the horror I feel towards these crimes, and even more horror witnessing that the murderers seem (for now) to get away with their crimes. "Ahmed and Abir’s murderers must be judged and sentenced as criminals." - Yes, and so many others as well. Bassam, your wish which I share completely, didn't come true (yet). At the funeral of Ahmed, another young man of 17 was shot. Another crime. I have no words. Another of so many other, similar crimes. At the peaceful protest in Ni'lin, another Israel photographer has been shot and wounded from behind - she was there to bear witness of the ralley, at the risk of her life. Seemingly, Israeli Border Guards take care not to kill Israelis - for she what shot into her hip and her leg - not in the head like Abir, Ahmed and the young man of 17. Is this your morality, General Ashkenazi? To Hussam and Bassam – may your beloved children rest in peace!
