At this point, an Israeli helicopter fired the missile directly at the crowd, causing the mass killing. Palestinian official Sa’eb Ureikat appealed to the international community to pressurize Israel to stop “these daily massacres.”
“They are slaughtering our people en mass, this genocide has got to stop,” said Ureikat.
Palestinian leaders are supposed to convey this message to E.U. envoy Chaver Solana who arrived in Palestine Sunday in an effort to revive peace talks.
Solana was due to meet with P.A. Chairman Yasser Arafat Monday afternoon in order to press him to accelerate the pace of Palestinian reforms. Solana held talks on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Benyamin Ben-Eliezer but the meetings were marred by the killing of more Palestinians olive harvesters by Jewish terrorists in the northern West Bank.
The Israeli army said the killings were being investigated, but human rights groups argue that the Israeli government allows the killing to take place in order to make life for the Palestinians unbearable so that they will eventually leave their ancestral land for the Jews.
