The two videos below
speak for themselves. A Palestinian teenager
was chased by an Israeli Jewish lynch mob and the Police then executed
him. He presented no danger, he had no
weapon, they simply took the word of the racist mob. Only then did they ask if there were any
injured and of course there wasn’t.
This Nazi like murder
of an innocent Palestinian boy speaks volumes about the ‘only democracy in the Middle
East’.

Video: Death-chanting Israeli mob rejoices as Palestinian teen is executed
Ali Abunimah Rights and Accountability 4 October 2015
This
article contains graphic images of violence
Amid
increasing violence in occupied Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank,
Israeli forces executed a Palestinian youth in cold blood early on Sunday
morning.
Israeli
forces have declared that the Old City of Jerusalem will be
open only to Jews and foreign tourists for the next 48 hours. No Palestinians
except residents will be allowed in.
In
a further escalation, Naftali Bennett, the Israeli education minister
who openly boasts about how many Arabs he has killed,
announced he plans to spend Sunday night’s Jewish
holiday of Simhat Torah in the Old City.
Bennett
heads the Habeyit Hayehudi (Jewish Home) party whose senior member, Justice
Minister Ayelet Shaked, has openly called for genocide of Palestinians.
Execution
Fadi
Samir Alloun in an undated image posted on Facebook.
Israeli
authorities claimed that 19-year-old Fadi Samir Alloun was killed after a stabbing attack that wounded an Israeli teenager.
They presented no evidence connecting Alloun to the alleged stabbing.
But
videos posted online show that the youth was executed in cold blood as he was
chased by a mob of Israeli Jews baying for his blood.
As
the video above begins, voices can be heard in Hebrew shouting – apparently at
police – “Shoot him! He’s a terrorist! Shoot him!” and “Don’t wait! Shoot him!”
Alloun
can be seen backing away from the mob, along the tracks of the Jerusalem Light
Rail.
The
lights of a police car can then be seen and the sound of seven gunshots heard.
Alloun falls to the ground. At no time in the video was he any threat to
anyone.
Wattan
TV says
the killing occurred in the Musrara area, just outside the walls of the Old
City, near the Damascus Gate.
Kill first, ask questions later
A
police officer – apparently the shooter – can be seen approaching Alloun.
Meanwhile celebratory voices are heard shouting “Yes! Yes! Son of a bitch!” and
“Wow!” and “He’s an Arab!”
“Death
to the Arabs!” others shout.
A
police officer then asks, “Where are the injured?” This suggests that the
police shot first and only asked questions afterwards.
It
was a cold-blooded execution at the behest of a lynch mob.
This
is confirmed by this second video of the same incident published
by Alkhaleej Online.
It
shows the mob clearly inciting for Alloun to be killed as they chase him. The
Palestinian youth is trying to escape.
After
police shoot him dead, an officer can be heard asking one of the mob, “Did he
stab anyone?”
The
Israeli youth answers that Alloun did not. While details about the alleged
stabbing – and whether Alloun had anything to do with it – are disputed, what
is in no doubt is what is visible in the video: he was shot dead in cold blood
when he presented no threat to anyone by police who were answering to a mob.
Beautiful voice
Friends
and family told
the Quds news site that Alloun was gifted with a beautiful singing
voice.
He
often gave the call to prayer from the Martrys Mosque in the Jerusalem village
of Issawiyeh.
Alloun’s
family had long been victims of Israel’s occupation policies in Jerusalem.
According to Quds, his mother had been a permit to return to Jerusalem
from Jordan, where she had gone after her father died. Israel refused to allow
the family to reunite, meaning Fadi and his father lived in Jerusalem, while
his mother and brother Muhammad remained in Jordan.
Friends
said Alloun was a sensitive and quiet person who never showed anger toward
anyone.
Violence
The
execution of Alloun comes as Israel escalates its violent attacks on Palestinians
in the wake of recent killings of settlers in Jerusalem and the rest of the
West Bank.
On
Thursday, two settlers were killed in a drive-by shooting in
the occupied West Bank.
On
Saturday, 19-year-old Palestinian Muhannad Halabi fatally stabbed two Israelis in the Old City of
Jerusalem. Nehamia Lavi, 41, was a rabbi in the Israeli army and Aaron Benita,
21, was a combat soldier. Lavi lived in occupied East Jerusalem and Bennett in the West Bank settlement of Beitar
Illit.
Palestinian
and Israeli media have reported a sharp escalation in attacks on Palestinians
and their property across the West Bank by Israeli occupation forces and
settlers in recent days.
The
Palestine Red Crescent Society declared
a “state of emergency” on Sunday throughout the West Bank following
the upsurge of attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
The
society said it had faced 14 attacks against its medical staff and ambulances
over the past 72 hours. It told
Ma’an News Agency that 96 Palestinians had been injured by Israeli
live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets and other weapons between Saturday and
Sunday evenings.
In
Burin village, in the northern West Bank, Palestinians had to defend their
homes after Israeli settlers set fire to trees and plants in the village and
threw stones and bottles at residents, Ma’an
News Agency reported.
