While sane people mourned the victims of Friday’s terror attack on the Temple Mount, in which two Druze Border Police officers were murdered, an extremist organization, Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel – demanded the Border Police be investigated for “..the police killings of three Palestinian citizens of Israel involved in a shooting attack in the Old City of Jerusalem at the Al Aqsa Mosque.”
Perhaps the police should have thrown flowers at the terrorists and “prayed for peace”?
Adalah sent the letters on behalf of the families of the deceased assailants, demanding an investigation into the “circumstances of the shooting deaths” of the three men. Adalah Attorney Mohammad Bassam wrote in the letters that “the incident raises serious questions regarding police personnel’s compliance with very detailed open-fire regulations. Police orders regulate all situations in which officers have an option to make use of firearms including when seeking to make an arrest and to prevent immediate harm to human life. In all situations, use of firearms is permitted only when there is a real and immediate danger to human life and as a final option when all other options to prevent this harm have been exhausted.”
IDF soldiers have meticulously worded orders about opening fire. However, they are instructed to neutralize terrorists perpetrating terror attacks in order to stop them from continuing their attempts to murder. In this case, one of the wounded terrorists attempted to stand and continue firing his weapon. He was then shot dead by Israeli fire.
Adalah is funded in part by the radical American non-profit the New Israel Fund, which has given nearly $2 Million to the organization from 2008-2015. It recently launched a “Discriminatory Laws in Israel” database on its website. Simply put, it is part and parcel of an ongoing campaign by the radical New Israel Fund to demonize and harm the Jewish state.
This campaign is another step in describing Israel as a racist nation and harming its interests.
