Settler Aided Murder of Palestinian, Defiled Memory of 18-Month-Old Murdered Baby Taunting: “Ali’s on the Grill!” by Richard Silverstein

PLEASE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR LETTER TO THE UN OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISER ON THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

Elisha Yered took the murder weapon from the murderer, Yechiel Indore, and buried it outside their settlement.  After both were arrested and interrogated, Yered took the Shin Bet to the spot where the weapon was buried and they retrieved it.  His explanation was that he wanted to be sure that no Palestinians took the weapon, so he hid it.

Four years ago, historian Tamar Novick was jolted by a document she found in the file of Yosef Vashitz, from the Arab Department of the left-wing Mapam Party, in the Yad Yaari archive at Givat Haviva. The document, which seemed to describe events that took place during the 1948 war, began:
“Safsaf [former Palestinian village near Safed] – 52 men were caught, tied them to one another, dug a pit and shot them. 10 were still twitching. Women came, begged for mercy. Found bodies of 6 elderly men. There were 61 bodies. 3 cases of rape, one east of from Safed, girl of 14, 4 men shot and killed. From one they cut off his fingers with a knife to take the ring.”
The writer goes on to describe additional massacres, looting and abuse perpetrated by Israeli forces in Israel’s War of Independence.
