Beit Sahour Under The Israeli Invasion Once Again - Suzan Sahori - 25-Nov-02
Once again the district of Bethlehem is under Israeli invasion and strictly imposed curfew for the last two days, following the suicide bombing in Jerusalem. The person who committed the bombing in Jerusalem had been living for the last 6 months in Hussan, near Al Khader village in the Bethlehem District; we feared the collective punishment and expected this incursion.
The majority of the Palestinian cities and the surrounding areas have been under Israeli incursion for many months, we have joined them now. What is there to tell you? I had the feeling that our turn was coming. All Palestinian cities and villages along with refugee camps have been living under brutal Israeli oppression for the past two years, why should we be different?
More families have been made homeless, up until yesterday the Israeli occupying troops had demolished 5 houses in the area belonging to what the Israeli authorities call suspected terrorists. Of course, no evidence of their guilt is ever presented before a court of law, their families are just punished by having their homes blown to bits.
