FCG extends its condolences to peace activisit Bassam Aramin (Combatants for Peace) on the tragic killing of his daughter:

Ten-year-old girl brain dead after border police shooting
Report, International Solidarity Movement, 18 January 2007
Abir Aramin, ten years old, who was wounded by an Israeli border policeman Tuesday the 16th, was announced brain dead this morning at the Haddasa Ein Karem hospital and is being examined by a committee to determine whether or not to unplug her from life support machines. Bassam Aramin, the girl's father, is a member of Combatants for Peace, the Israeli-Palestinian peace organisation. Israeli and international supporters have gathered at the girls school in Anata to express their solidarity and protect the traumatised students from the ongoing threat of the Israeli border police.

Let our children live
Nurit Peled-Elhanan writing from Israel, Live from Palestine, 22 January 2007
Bassam Aramin spent nine years in an Israeli jail for being a member of the Fatah in the Hebron area and trying to throw a grenade at an Israeli army Jeep which was patrolling in Occupied Hebron. On Wednesday morning, an Israeli soldier shot his nine-year-old daughter, Abir, in the head. The soldier will not spend an hour in jail. In Israel, soldiers are not imprisoned for killing Arabs. Never.

"Combatants for Peace" mourns the death of Abir Aramin

Twilight Zone / 'I've lost my heart'  by Gideon Levy, Ha'aretz, Feb. 4, 2007
Was it the stun grenade that hit her head, the shock caused by its explosion or the rubber bullet fired by the Border Police? Does it make any difference? Did the Border Policeman intend to kill a child of 11 - or not? What difference does it make?
