The rest of the soldiers on trial were given sentences from 7 to 17 years in prison but all were let go before the end of the third year of the confinement. Major Avraham Melinki, the commander of the Border Police force, was promoted immediately after his release from prison. Dahan, who had been convicted of murdering all these Palestinians in one hour, was pardoned and appointed military officer responsible for Arab affairs in the town of Ramleh after his release. Today in Occupied Palestine, there Kafr Qasems abound everywhere. As before, women and children and civilian men are shot down and killed.
Israeli soldiers aim to kill.
Their targets are not just stone throwing demonstrators, but any Palestinian that these soldiers deem fit to die. These civilians being slaughtered are not seen as human beings and they are not awarded the sanctity of life. Remember, there is to be no sentimentality for Palestinians. The siege of Palestinian villages continues. Nothing much has changed in the 53 years of Jewish occupation of Palestinian lands and homes.
