Israel Murders Father of Immolated Palestinian Baby
Saad Dawabsha died early Saturday morning from severe
third-degree burns covering 80% of his body – caused by arson committed
by racist Israeli settlers.
Authorities let them rampage freely against Palestinian civilians.
Official expressions of outrage against the murder belie Israel’s
longstanding genocidal policy.
Saad’s 18-month-old son Ali was burned alive in the vicious attack.
It wasn’t the first time extremist settlers set a Palestinian home
ablaze. For sure not the last.
Saad’s wife Riham and four-year-old son Ahmad remain in critical
condition – suffering from third-degree burns covering most of their
bodies. They’re clinging to life precariously.
Longstanding Israeli high crimes against defenseless Palestinians
continue unaccountably. Settlers are protected by Israeli soldiers and
police. They commit violence and vandalism repeatedly. Rarely is anyone
held accountable.
On Saturday, settlers firebombed another Duma village Palestinian
home where the Dawabsha family lives. Mahmoud Fazza al-Kaabna’s house
was attacked.
Settlers threw firebombs at its outer wall. They didn’t smash windows
and hurl them inside – the way they destroyed the Dawabsha home.
Israeli police say they’re unable to identify settlers responsible
for the arson deaths. It begs the question whether they’re even trying.
Reports indicate Duma village security cameras were removed – perhaps
to suppress incriminating evidence. Israeli police spokeswoman Luba
Samri said more leads are needed.
Although right-wing extremist/racist Meir Kahane’s grandson Meir
Ettinger was arrested, he’s not a Dawabsha arson attack suspect.
He’s detained “because of his activities in a Jewish extremist organization,” according to a Shin Bet statement.
