But TBH,i love the English people,so i won't imagine England occupied by the Zionnists,i would rather love to imagine another country (in my mind) to be occupied by Israel.
Me too. I think Palestina's an awesome idea. How do you feel about that?

    Israel drops investigation into police shooting of Palestinian

    Israeli officials said Tuesday they were dropping a criminal probe of an Israeli border policeman who shot to death a Palestinian motorist after the man sideswiped a foot patrol of soldiers and then tried to escape when they opened fire.

    Justice Ministry officials described the incident as a "lethal and rapid chain of events that ended tragically with a man's death," but said in a statement that there was insufficient evidence to bring criminal charges.

    Witnesses said the driver, Ziad Jilani, 41, had been shot at least once and was lying in the road when the Israeli officer walked up next to him and fired at his head with an M16 rifle, killing him instantly.

    Investigators said the Israeli policeman initially lied to them by denying his role in the incident and had made a "grave" mistake in judgment during the June 11 shooting. But they concluded that he reacted reasonably out of fear that the driver was a terrorist, according to the Justice Ministry statement.

    Government investigators said it was possible that Jilani had momentarily lost control of his car as he attempted to circumvent an East Jerusalem traffic jam, accidentally veering into a group of soldiers on foot. At least two soldiers suffered what authorities called "light injuries."

    Jilani's widow, Texas-born Moira Jilani, called the ministry's decision not to prosecute "ridiculous. That man executed my husband by shooting him point-blank. If that's not criminal, what is?"

    She criticized Israeli officials for taking seven months to reach the decision and said she planned to meet with her attorney to discuss their next step, which might include a private lawsuit.

    "This shows the racism in Israel," said Jilani, a mother of three. She said Israeli soldiers and police officers are rarely punished for killing or injuring Palestinians.

    "They've been sitting on their hands for months to see if I would give up and go back to the U.S.," she said. "But I'm not going anywhere."

    According to the government statement, the officer initially denied shooting Ziad Jilani. But he changed his story after the family agreed to exhume Jilani's body to prove he had been shot at close range.

    Another good guy has left us yesterday.

    Abu Maher Yamani has passed away.



    RIP. My condolences for his family, comrades and for you, JBF.
    Thanks bro, he is indeed a great loss.

    Things are very close to blowing up in the Middle East. Israel to play a big role in what should come next.
    They've been playing the biggest role in the middle east even before 62 years when they occupied Palestine, that's hardly an insight there.

    Palestinian Bedouins watch as an Israeli army tractor destroys a structure in their camp located in the village of Dakeka, near the West Bank city of Hebron, on January 12, 2011. Israeli forces destroyed 17 structures that provided shelter to some 300 Bedouins, officials said.
