Priest Killed in Baghdad Drive-By Shooting

April 5: Family members of the priest Youssef Adel mourn in his house

in central Baghdad.

BAGHDAD -- An Assyrian Orthodox priest was killed in a drive-by

shooting Saturday in Baghdad, police and an assistant said, the latest

attack against Iraq's Christian minority.

The priest, Youssef Adel, was shot by gunmen who drove up in a car and

opened fire as he was opening the gate of his house near the St. Peter

and Paul church where he presided, an assistant said.

Christians have frequently been caught up in the violence or been

targeted in this predominantly Muslim country.

The body of Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho, one of Iraq's most senior

Chaldean Catholic clerics, was found on March 13, about two weeks

after he was seized by gunmen in the volatile northwestern city of

Mosul.

Adel's assistant, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of

security concerns, said the attack occurred about 11:30 a.m. and the

gunmen fled the area in a car after the shooting.

He said the priest was in his early 40s and was married but had no

children.

Adel was an engineer but became a priest about six years ago. He

previously served in a church in the predominantly Sunni area of Dora

in southern Baghdad but moved to the central primarily Shiite district

of Karradah after a series of attacks in the former insurgent

stronghold.

The assistant said Adel was a compassionate man who preached about

love and peace and was heavily involved in helping orphans and widows

in his church.

"We are paying the price of the insecurity hitting this country," he

said.

Elsewhere in Baghdad, a bomb exploded on a minibus carrying morning

commuters on the busy Palestine Street, killing at least four

passengers and wounding 15, police said.

The victims were primarily workers and vendors from the Sadr City

district who were on their way to commercial areas elsewhere in the

capital.

The killings underscored the dangers that continue to face Iraqis in

Baghdad and elsewhere as attacks persist despite a sharp decline in

violence over recent months amid a U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown.

The Iraqi government, meanwhile, eased security measures in two

Baghdad neighborhoods that are strongholds of Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi

Army militia -- Sadr City and Shula -- amid complaints of food shortages

nearly a week after the radical Shiite cleric issued a cease-fire

order.

Trucks carrying maintenance teams, food, oil products and ambulances

are now allowed to get into the areas, according to a statement issued

by Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, Baghdad's chief Iraqi military

spokesman.

The areas -- including Sadr City, which is home to some 2.5 million

Shiites and the militia's largest base -- have suffered as a vehicle

ban remained effect despite the lifting of a curfew elsewhere in the

capital earlier this week.

Despite an order by al-Sadr to end to large-scale fighting that broke

out over a government crackdown in the southern city of Basra, clashes

have continued between his fighters and Iraqi security forces.

Sporadic gunfire was heard in Basra, although it was relatively calm

as aid workers delivered humanitarian assistance to the beleaguered

residents.

Associated Press Television News footage showed neighbors in the

Hayaniyah area examining the rubble of a house they said was destroyed

in an airstrike Friday evening in the militia stronghold.

Police said five people were killed in the strike, acknowledging they

included an unspecified number of militants who had fired a mortar at

Iraqi security forces.

British military spokesman Maj. Tom Holloway said an attack helicopter

hit a position from which militants were firing at Iraqi forces in

Hayaniyah, but he gave no information about casualties and did not

specify whether the aircraft was U.S. or British.

A series of airstrikes have struck suspected militant positions since

the fighting erupted on March 25, drawing American and British forces

into the battle and casting further doubt on the ability of Iraqi

forces to take over their own security.

The White House has conditioned further U.S. troop withdrawals on the

readiness of the Iraqi military and police.

Al-Maliki had suggested he planned similar crackdowns in Sadr City and

Shula earlier this week, but instead he ordered a nationwide freeze on

Iraqi raids against Shiite militants on Friday.

The reversal came after al-Sadr hinted at retaliation if Iraqi

security forces continue to arrest his followers.

KILL THEM ALL!!! (God will sort them out)

Salute To Our Muslim Martyrs

Musil Shehadeh

As a Christian Palestinian, I cannot but bow my head in full reverence

and admiration to our Muslim brothers who are teaching the Israelis

and the world the real meaning of self-sacrifice in the face of cruel

occupation. You can call them what you want but you cannot deny them

the pinnacle of courage when they offer their own lives at the altar

of freedom, not only for their own religious order but also for all of

us. No power, be it the Israeli rocket, its F-16s, its tanks, or its

nuclear weapons, can stand as a deterrent against such culmination of

human sacrifice.

Such martyrdom has created a new chapter in the history of human

resistance against occupation that has never been emulated in the

history of humanity except for the Japanese kamikaze in the Second

World War. Instead of having the world study the psychological motives

behind such courageous acts, they are dismissed naively by Israel and

its U.S. protege as simple acts of "terrorism"! Really! Those who

sacrifice their lives for freedom are "terrorists," while those who

massacre people to keep them under the chains of bondage are engaged

in philanthropic acts? Using such bizarre criterion, it would place

George Washington, and Martin Luther King as "terrorists" while

Genghis Khan, Attilla the Hun and Sharon as the heads of charitable

organizations. Even those who criticize such heroic acts cannot deny

that those young men and women, who strap themselves with explosives

and sacrifice their lives, fully realize that there are other options

for the future. They could have chosen to get married and to have

children, or to seek profitable employment and to enjoy the many

pleasures of life. They could have followed their instincts to

continue living without bringing grief and misery to their loved ones.

Yet when they kill themselves and deny themselves the pleasure of

living, then there has to exist a very good cause that prompts them to

commit such acts of self-destruction. As one of the bereaved mothers

explained: life without freedom had no value in the eyes of her

beloved martyr-son. They have chosen to die so that they would fight a

cruel occupier to liberate their lands, to reject life without

dignity, while creating life with freedom for others. Western teaching

institutions would rush into explaining how frustration in life could

drive people into acting violently, yet they tend to swallow with

great relish the Zionist versions when explaining the violent nature

of these acts. American history can easily recall how many Americans

died along the road of freedom, in their War of Liberation against the

British. Yet the American administration would not hesitate to

espouse Sharon's view that his massacre of Palestinian women and

children was a war against "terror." The U.S. apathy and flagrant

ignorance with the tragic plight of the Palestinians is deepened

further when President Bush calls Sharon a man of "peace," a title

that Mr. Sharon's Likud constituents even deny! For those of us who

are still advocating "give peace a chance," we should not forget that

Mr. Sharon's war is not against "terrorism," as he would like us to

believe, but rather an aggressive war to occupy our homes and land

turning us into slaves in our own homes. His enemies are not those who

carry the gun, but anyone who would stand in his way to expropriate

more lands from the Palestinians. How else can one explain his closure

of the Palestinian profile office in Jerusalem headed by Dr. Sari

Nuseibeh? A super moderate Palestinian whose call for the existence of

the two States, meeting all of Israeli demands for peace and security

along the 1967 borders, could not be matched. Yet he was not spared

the wrath of Sharon because he dared to demand the right of

Palestinians for their own mini-State? It should be obvious to all of

us that Sharon cannot understand any language except the language of

force, as no moderate or peace-loving advocate can survive the war

imposed upon us by those who are working hard to deny us our rights.

It should behoove all of us to support our martyrs and their families,

as these are the real heroes of our dignified and legitimate struggle

for freedom in our homeland.

The writer is clearly a liar who knows damned well there are not

"other options", since the PLO monsters who force people to act as

suicide bombers will kill them and their families if they don't do so.

Ditto for Hamas, Hezbollah, and the other supposed "liberation"

movements.

You talk like a Jew.

Palestinians can absorb whatever Israel hurls at them

By Reach CharleyReese |

Posted July 11, 2001, 11:14 PM EDT

The Israelis bulldozed another 14 Palestinian homes this week in a

refugee camp in Gaza. The United States said the act was

"provocative."

Actually, it was a war crime. Actually, what the Israelis have been

doing to the Palestinians has been correctly characterized by the

International Red Cross as war

crimes and by a United Nations official as "an affront to

civilization."

But, hey, you misled, sleeping Americans, you don't know what a

breakthrough it is for the U.S. State Department to utter even the

mildest criticism of some Israeli atrocity.

"Provocative."

Wow. Golly gee whiz. Old George W. Bush promised he would provide

leadership, and that's real leadership, calling a war crime

"provocative." Finally, after eight months of refusing to utter even

that bland a criticism, he managed to say the destruction of homes so

precious to such terribly poor people is "provocative."

It is such an improvement over Warren Christopher. When he was

secretary of state, the Israelis were indulging in one of their

periodic and gratuitous artillery

attacks against villages in South Lebanon.

A group of about 100 Lebanese women and children fled to a United

Nations compound for safety. It didn't matter. The Israelis fired on

it deliberately, as a subsequent U.N. investigation demonstrated. They

were all killed, along with the U.N. peacekeepers. Bits and pieces of

their flesh hung like grotesque decorations, dripping blood from

shattered debris and blasted trees.

Do you know what Christopher said?

"The United States urges both sides to show restraint."

I wonder how he expected the shattered flesh of the dead Lebanese

women and children to show restraint. Perhaps he thought that they

should not bleed so profusely from their wounds. I think that was the

very first time I felt ashamed to be an American, listening to that

rat-faced, cold-blooded international lawyer brushing off an atrocity

like a crumb on his expensive coat sleeve.

One day, Americans are going to wake up from more than 50 years of

Zionist propaganda and suddenly feel like strangers in a strange land,

to borrow the title of an old science-fiction work. They're finally

going to see the simple truth:

Israelis drove Palestinians out of their own country and confiscated

their land and

wealth. Israelis refused to allow (and still refuse) Palestinian

refugees to return,

despite United Nations resolutions instructing them to do so.

In 1967, the Israelis attacked and took the West Bank, Gaza and East

Jerusalem. Since then, they have ruled it and still rule, despite U.N.

resolutions against their actions.

Now, after dragging out so-called peace negotiations for 10 years --

how can the simple question, "When are you going to withdraw from the

territories you illegally

occupy?" take 10 years? -- the drama is heading toward a climax.

The Israelis have tried economic strangulation. They have tried to

force the Palestinians to accept a chopped-up pseudo-country. They

have tried killing their children, demolishing their homes and

assassinating their leaders. They tried uprooting their agricultural

orchards and sealing the Palestinians off from normal travel.

By the way, where are you environmentalists while the Israelis commit

this environmental atrocity? Don't you know how long it takes for an

olive tree to reach

maturity and start bearing fruit? I thought you were concerned about

the environment. Oh, excuse me -- not when it's a Palestinian

environment. My mistake. I sometimes forget who is a hypocrite and who

isn't, because there are so many these days. What's next, of course,

is for the Israelis to take off the bloody glove and commit one super

massacre in an attempt to drive the Palestinians out or to break their

spirit. This is what the Palestinians expect. They are bracing for it.

They know that the Israelis have elected the one politician, Ariel

Sharon, willing to do it.

They figure they can absorb that blow. If the survivors can rise from

the rubble and

say to the Israelis, "You can bury us here, but you can never drive us

out of our own country," then the Israelis will have exhausted their

options. They will dump Sharon and replace him with somebody who will

finally, at long last, do some serious talking.

It's already terrible what the Palestinians are going through, and

this new assault, when it comes, will be far worse. They need the

support now of decent people with the courage to stand up for human

rights. As you can see, the Bush administration prefers to remain on

its knees. Most members of Congress are afraid even to do that. They

prefer the supine position, total prostration.

If you can't find the courage to speak out against evil financed with

your tax money, then at least watch as Palestinian children show you

how real men and women live and die with honor.
