Awad Srur, 40, was shot four times with rubber-coated steel bullets
from extremely close range as Israeli soldiers entered his house
looking to arrest his brother Akil Srur. One bullet was shot through
his eye, another at his head causing large internal hemorrhaging. 2
other bullets were fired into his chest.
From his hospital bed at the European Hospital in Gaza and with barely audible voice, award-winning Palestinian journalist Muhammed Omer has given a full account of the hair-raising encounter he had last week with Shin Beth agents at the Allenby Bridge border-crossing between Jordan and the West Bank.
Omer, a co-winner of the 2008 Martha Gelhorn Prize for Journalistic Excellence, said he was abused, assaulted , humiliated, ridiculed, kicked, and strip-searched at gunpoint by undisciplined Shin Beth officers until he had a nervous breakdown in which case he lost consciousness for at least 90 minutes.

BUT…. best to be silent or you might be called an anti Semite… Israel does what it wants, when it wants, where it wants…. It has been for 60 years and has no intention to stop now.
