In reply to the discussion: UK raises concerns over Israel's treatment of Palestinian children [View all]shira
(30,109 posts)On Saturday February 16th 2002, at around 7:45 p.m., an 18 year-old terrorist wearing an explosive vest containing 25 pounds of nails for added damage walked into a pizza parlour in the crowded shopping mall in Karnei Shomron and detonated his device.
Two teenagers were killed instantly, some thirty people (many of them children) were injured six of them seriously and one died of her wounds 11 days later. Rachel Thaler was 16 years old, Keren Shatsky and Nehemia Amar were both 15 when they were murdered.
One member at that time of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) the organisation which later claimed responsibility for that terror attack is named Shahwan Jabarin.
Strangely, (at least according to Western standards) for someone involved with an organisation with such obvious disregard for the lives of either terror victims or the brainwashed teenagers sent to perpetrate terror attacks, he is today active in the field of human rights NGOs as director of Al Haq and a board member of Human Rights Watch. He also sits on the board of an organisation named Defence for Children International Palestine (DCI-Pal).
