Israeli officers who left Palestinian to die must pay

[Jos]

An unspeakable act took place in Israel. Late one night, an officer of the Israel Police tossed one Omar Abu Jariban - injured, confused and shoeless - to the side of the road and left him there to die.

This chilling story, which took place in the summer of 2008, was reported by Chaim Levinson in Friday's Hebrew edition of Haaretz. The incident should keep many Israelis awake at night. Serious measures must be taken against all those responsible.

Following failed efforts by the Rehovot and Kfar Sava police stations to identify Abu Jariban, police officials made the decision to get rid of the injured, sick and confused detainee and to take him to the Maccabim border crossing. Three police officers pushed him into a police vehicle. After it reached the checkpoint, whose commander refused to take the injured man, he was thrown from the vehicle in the dark of night onto the shoulder of Route 45, between the Ofer Base and the Atarot border crossing. He was wearing only hospital pajamas and was still attached to the catheter. His body was discovered two days later. "

Israel is a state of law and free speech, isn't it? A reminder - throwing one's shoes can leave one shoeless, stay shoeful.
