Arab seller of Hebron house said sentenced to death
Local settler leaders seek UN, US, EU intervention April 16, 2012, 2:28
JERUSALEM (JTA) - Jewish leaders in Hebron have called for international intervention to help the Palestinian man sentenced to death for selling a home near the Cave of the Patriarchs to Jews. A letter on behalf of Muhammad Abu Shahala, a former intelligence agent for the Palestinian Authority, was signed by Hebron Jewish community leaders David Wilder and Noam Arnon, and addressed to, among others, the secretary-general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon; U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; the president of the European Council of the European Union, Herman Van Rompuy; and the director general of the International Red Cross, Yves Daccord, among others.
Shahala reportedly was sentenced to death for his part in selling what has become known as Beit Hamachpela (the Machpela House) to a group of Jews. He reportedly confessed to the sale after torture and was subject to a rushed trial, according to Arutz-7, which cited various news agencies. Palestinian officials said Shahala was not authorized to sell the home.
The death warrant still must be signed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, according to reports.
“It is appalling to think that property sales should be defined as a ‘capital crime’ punishable by death,” the Jewish leaders write in their letter. ” The very fact that such a ‘law’ exists within the framework of the PA legal system points to a barbaric and perverse type of justice, reminiscent of practices implemented during the dark ages.
“What would be the reaction to a law in the United States, England, France, or Switzerland, forbidding property sales to Jews? Actually, less than one hundred years ago, such acts were legislated and practiced, known as the infamous ‘Nuremberg laws.”...
A contrarian view: For the Palestinians, this particular type of property sale could be viewed as treasonous. Lot of countries regard treason as a capital crime.
Another contrarian view:the Mafia was(is) wont to kill those breaking the “code of silence” regarding their criminal activities.
That only makes them MORE evil .Same for Palestinians.
All belief systems are not equal.
We do not all worship the same God.
Thanks Milagros.
I keep hearing predictions that Arabs will outnumber Jooos! here one day. So if they’re so cock sure of their eventual predominance, why do they act so scared? Treason to sell real estate to an eventual minority? Could it be that those projections are so much horse-sh@#$, and the paper they were written on would have better use as toilet paper? Where are all these naked emperors coming from?
In the name of the One G-d, should Abbas sign the death warrant, the IDF should do an Entebbe-style raid to free Shahala, and Ehud should stop blocking the rightful owners of the house from taking up residence. If a war must begin, let it begin over this, before the Islamofascists can marshal their forces.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
