NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - The young woman's brother shoved her out of a car, tied a black blindfold around her face and shot her repeatedly in the head and chest.

Wedad Abu Mustafa, a 26-year-old mother of four, was killed hours after her alleged illicit lover Jefal Abu Srour was dragged by Palestinian gunmen into the center of the Balata refugee camp, thrown to the ground and riddled with more than 40 bullets.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a militant group whose stronghold is in the camp near Nablus where Wedad and Jefal lived, accused the couple of breaking the biggest taboo in their society -- collaborating with the Israeli enemy.

"If it was just a matter of love and romance then we would not have interfered but they were also traitors," said Abu Ahmed, an al-Aqsa member involved in executing the supposed lovers.

The pair were accused of telling Israeli forces the hiding place of Wedad's fugitive husband and his two al-Aqsa comrades. Israeli troops killed the three men.

"We are not talking about ordinary collaborators," said Abu Ahmed. "They were members of a specially trained Israeli unit."

Wedad's brother, egged on by the gunmen to redeem his family's honor by executing his sister, chose to kill her outside a Nablus hospital so her corpse would not lie in the street long enough to attract flies, al-Aqsa members said.

Moments after Wedad slumped to the ground in a pool of blood, orderlies ran out of the hospital, lifted her body onto a stretcher and carried her into its morgue.

The only evidence of Wedad and Jefal's "crimes" comes from the killers themselves and from a terrified and tearful confession by Jefal which was videotaped by the gunmen.

"We told him he needed to cleanse himself of these shameful acts," said Abu Ahmed.

Both Wedad and Jefal were killed immediately after that confession was taped on May 30, 2006.

OTHER SIDE OF STORY A MYSTERY

The couple's side of the story will never be known.

Close relatives are keeping a low profile, possibly because they are afraid or aware that accusations of treason and adultery are like marks of Cain in their traditional society.

But in Balata, where photographs of dead gunmen pasted on concrete walls turn squalid alleys into local halls of fame, residents speculate in whispers about what happened.

"Did she do it?" asked a neighbor. "Only Allah, knows."

The story began February 23, 2006, when Israeli soldiers burst into the house where Wedad's husband and two al-Aqsa comrades, including a local militant leader, were hiding. The soldiers killed all three.

Al-Aqsa gunmen suspected Wedad of leading soldiers to her husband's hide-out in a secret annex of the family home at the behest of Jefal.

After the Israeli raid, al-Aqsa militants separately snatched Wedad and Jefal, interrogating them twice over a two-week period before they were executed.

"They confessed to standing inside the house and pointing to the hiding place for the soldiers," Abu Ahmed said.

The al-Aqsa Brigades say they also videotaped Wedad's confession, but have refused to allow anyone to see it, saying they have promised the family not to further publicize her shame.

"Wedad was not easy to question. She was aggressive. She had lost all human feelings," Abu Ahmed said. "She was the most dangerous female collaborator ever."

A passer-by who witnessed Wedad's execution noticed a plaster cast on her leg from ankle to thigh.

"I heard they (the al-Aqsa men) broke her leg during the first interrogation," said the witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity. According to a medical source, Wedad had been hospitalized for three days some two weeks before she died.

CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE?

Some evidence appears to contradict the assertion by al-Aqsa members that only inside information could have led soldiers to the militants' secret hiding place in the family home.

Television footage of the operation taken by a Palestinian cameraman hiding in an adjacent house shows that the militants opened fire as the Israeli soldiers entered the dwelling, immediately giving away their own location.

"Terrorists, terrorists," an Israeli soldier shouts in apparent surprise, calling for reinforcements after two of his comrades are wounded as they burst through the door.

The abandoned house is scarred with bullet holes from that fateful day. The gunmen's hiding place, in what now appears an obvious position by the entrance to the house, is exposed by a gaping hole in a cinder block wall blasted out by a grenade.

"I heard a different story, that she (Wedad) warned her husband the soldiers were coming," said human rights lawyer Bahaa Saadi.

Abu Ahmed said the couple held their trysts in the house. Yet no one in the teeming refugee camp, where privacy is at a premium, noticed any love affair conducted by Wedad, mother of a new baby.

Accusations of an illicit relationship raised eyebrows among camp residents who knew Wedad, a pious Muslim who wore traditional black robes and headdress.

"She was very shy and we were surprised when we heard she was involved in such business," said a childhood friend.

Despite gnawing suspicions that the al-Aqsa account might not be accurate, nobody in the camp speaks up for Wedad.

Militants have killed four alleged collaborators in Balata over the past month. Those who defend the accused risk being tarred with the same brush.

The gunmen say they take the law into their own hands against spies for the Israeli military because official Palestinian law and order has broken down.

Wedad's brother, residents say, had a nervous breakdown after he executed his sister.

Her 8-year-old daughter sat by her grave for days. Her vigil ended only when the family sent her and three siblings to live with a relative in a distant West Bank town.

Wedad "was killed to restore the family's honor," said Majdi Abu Mustafa, her brother-in-law. "Now that we've finished with her filthy deeds we can once again walk with our heads raised."

Bismillah,

I think in the so-called stone age people had to use stones to kill each other thus making it more difficult and maybe less prevalent.

May Allah, Our Protector, protect the hearts and souls of the children of these streets who see so much violence and lack of mercy in their world.

Peace

Bismillah,

I want to bring them home with me. My friend's mom had 11 kids and she told me it got easier after 5 of them were born.

But don't worry. Their grandparents will raise them and their aunts and uncles will pitch in dutifully, the ones that aren't jailed for their participation in the murders that is.

And then when they get it people die....why is no world power excersising some real preasure on both sides? is it just a thing that is kept raging so we can watch at it and feel sorry for them? Like it is impossible for a jew and a muslim to live in the same country....shame on them both.

Bismillah,

Please read up on this issue. You are very uninformed and need to educate yourself not only as to the issues but also what people on this site have previously discussed. Go to forum search and try a few words like "Palestine, Phalasteen, Isreal"

The jews are in deep psychological problems but they refuse to acknowledge it - because they have been listening to constant brain washing that they are the God's chosen people.

Just like other saying that says a stupid person does not know that he/she is stupid, so it apllies here as well.

I am and many and many millions of people see this God's chosen people behaviour as very sickening.

I am very sure they must accept a spiritual leader to lead them to be humans, who will tell them that they are living in this earth - not somewhere else.

Sooner or later they must come this simple term and walk down in the street just like everybody else. It is just matter of time.

Salam Aleikum

Companion "superme" you believe that it�s just to generalize? How can you believe that all the Jews are equal?. Perhaps are they it all the Christians? And the Muslims?. Are we all fanatics?.

Secondly, I believe that the majority of that we are here we believe in an only God, but tell me which of our monotheistic religions has not killed in God's name? Which has not it been considered to be the only and real in any moment of the History? Which of our peoples has not one proclaimed the chosen one to save the Humanity?. Raises the hand the one that is innocent.

It�s very dangerous distort the past History and the present one. To say that Jews, Christians and Muslims have not could coexist in peace is false. From East (China) up to West (Spain) (*) three faiths have could coexist pacifically for many centuries in multitude of States with diverse domineering religions. To affirm the opposite is tendentious and meaningful.

I do not believe that God has created us to foment the War � not here not in no other place.

That the Peace is with all.

Shalom Aleikhem

(*) Please, excuse me the Americans for not mentioning them, but I have not taken them as an example because only they count 500 years of monotheism and the majority of them without plural living together.

When I have enough time - even on the weekdays I make few replies but sometimes I just can't do it, now is a bit a restricted so I will comeback again for this later on.

And for the time being:

Please give me an explicit injunction from the OT that forbid harming fellow human beings, neighbours, women, children, disabled etc.

Also what is the explicit rulings about other people properties and belonging in generals.

We need to know if the God did actually gave them guidance to live in this world with other creatures in respect.

That's all for the time being, I have to go to work.

It's now official. Israelis with an active conscience are now at risk in Israel
proper. I was at a very tame demo night before last night. And we had
government people agitating from the inside that were so obvious that
even the commies could spot them.

I'm posting again because although our (Israeli) government is totally
corrupt and populated with criminals we have some good people here
and we are on the case regardless what happens or who boycotts or what
ever.

Dear friends,

Please find bellow a summary of the activities of the Olive Tree Movement
for 25 June to 1 July

Including:

1) Visits to to the Sourasky Medical Centre in Tel Aviv

2) Summer camp construction at the Jahelin tribe near Anata

3) Plans for next week

1. Visits to Ichilov:

This week Jamillah, Amir, Libi and Dimi visited Palestinian patients
hospitalized in Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital. We contacted three families �
the family of Ilham Raliah injured in the infamous Gaza Beach bombing a
few weeks ago; the family of a small child who was injured in the soon to
follow infamous bombing in Gaza City; and the family of another child
who is hospitalized in a coma following an operation to remove a brain
tumor. We have also met some other family members forced to lodge at
Ichilov (see below for details on their current situation).

A. Ilham Raliah

We have written at length on the situation of Ilham Raliah in an earlier
email (see attached MS Word file). To remind you, we have sent an urgent
email pleading for women Arabic-speaking volunteers to come forward to
relieve her uncle off his shift. Her uncle is the only relative to be allowed
into Israel, and he needs to return to Gaza; plus, his position as her sole
caretaker becomes increasingly awkward for both of them, with her being
a grown woman and he a grown man, both adherent Muslims. We
therefore asked for volunteers to replace him until we can get a
permission for his wife to replace him at her bedside. We are very glad to
report that the response to our plea was remarkable � within 24 hours we
have received over a dozen emails and phonecalls with people offering
themselves as caretakers. We now have enough volunteers to cover for all
the visiting hours, thank you so much! We are now busy coordinating
those volunteers according to shifts.

B. Families of patients at Ichilov � a report

Considering the situation in other Israeli hospitals, the visit to Ichilov left
us considerably impressed. No Israeli hospital is obliged under law to
provide anything for Palestinian escorts of the patients it treats
(notwithstanding the fact that they are effectively imprisoned within its
walls, their entrance to Israel permits valid only for the hospital grounds) ,
but it appears that the administration of Ichilov prefers to follow its
conscience.

Escorts of adult patients: At the moment the families of adult patients
have a place to sleep � two disused wards in a quiet corner of the hospital
compound. The wards, one for men and one for women, are provided
with beds, hospital linen, a fridge, a kitchenette, showers and free to use
laundry facilities (!). The hospital also provides the families with
breakfast, lunch and dinner coupons; compare this to Wolfson Hospital
where the families get one meal a day and to Tel haShomer hospital
where they get none. This does not go so far as to suggest that there's
nothing to improve; the floors in the wards were dirty, the linen hadn't
been changed in a while. On the other hand, when we called to complain
the relevant officials expressed their surprise and promised to take care
of it immediately. All in all this is still an inhumane, absurd situation in
which people are literally confined to their loved one's bedsides; but it
appears that Ichilov truly does try to provide these "prisoners" with things
that would make their imprisonment bearable.

Families of children hospitalized at Dana: The relatives of children
hospitalized in the Dana Hospital (part of Ichilov) are also provided with
showers & 3 meals a day. They sleep at their children bedsides, just like
all the other parents at the hospital. At the side of the bed of each of the
children there is an armchair which unfolds into a bed. We also
understand that the hospital provides diapers for the children, which can't
be said of Tel haShomer. All in all the impression was rather good.

Dimi has undertaken to organize a "leisure" corner at the hospital � a
crate or a cupboard stuffed with books, papers and journals in Arabic,
and also perhaps some sets of chess and chequers. If anyone has any of
the above items to donate, please contact him on [email protected].
We already received a donation of magazines and journals in Arabic from
the Yaffa Coffeshop & Bookstore of Yeffet street, Jaffa, for which we are
abundantly grateful. If anyone has an actual cupboard to donate, this
would also come in very handy. Please contact Dimi as above.

2. The Jahelin Tribe Summercamp

We returned this week to the Jahelin Tribe encampment east of Anata,
East Jerusalem, and continued the construction of the shack destined to
host a summercamp for the summer and a clinic & library for the rest of
the year. The work did not go as fast as we planned, since nothing was
done since our last visit. If anyone has any ideas on how to ensure that
work would go on without the volunteers constantly present, do make it
known. Anyhow, we did have lots of fun and be completed the roof of the
shack. While some of us were working on the shack Sandra gave a few
English lessons to the girls of the encampment; pictures and videos soon
to follow. We also purchased a delivery of concrete to make the floor for
the shack. The purchase was made from Jameelah's own pocket. Anyone
who can and wishes to help to alleviate this expense (about 3,000NIS) is
welcome to donate to acc.no. 104898, Bank Hapoalim, Rotschild Branch
(No.634).

3. Plans for next week

We will return to Jahelin this coming Saturday, 8 July. We need volunteers,
especially volunteers with big cars that can help us pick up wood and
materials from nearby industrial zones. We could also use some isolating
material ( i.e. old banners), and a great deal of nails � a bucket or two at
least. As to the visit itself, we will leave Tel Aviv Central ("Northern",
"Arlozorov") Train Station at 8:30am on Saturday morning, and should be
able to pick up Jerusalem area volunteers at 9:30am from the Giva Zarfatit
Junction. Please contact us as far in advance as possible so we can take
make sure we have enough vehicles for everyone. Please contact Jameelah
on 0524341840.

Many thanks and all the very best,

The Olive Tree Movement

Now I remember you, you the one who forced me to go banana.

I don't deny the existance of good people in every society nor denying the existing of bad people in it. But this so called Israeli govt is a contradiction of the jewish claim of innocence as a whole.

The power base of them is the American support. To get that support they need the jewish lobby. The jewish lobby is made up of jews. Therefore it is the jews that commiting the attrocities.

I am not a columnist or anything even closer as a writer so I don't know how to put this into better word. I should be the last person on this earth who talk about race as I don't believe in race, but this is a contradiction.

If the jews as a whole believe they are something special or better than others (count me out in that) than I need to see the proof for it.

But I am still waiting for Sophonisbe or anyone OT's quotation of the basic instruction. Without this instruction the OT claims are in question.

God guides, his guidance is fo all.

Salam Aleikhum companion Superme

Pardon for the delay in answering you. My work also steals me a lot of time, I hope that you apologize me.

First, you ask for a reference of the OT that justifies the attitude of a government - the Israeli - (who is not that of the whole people - the Jew - as you will be able to suppose). In this regard we might enter a dialectical game without end because, since you know, any verse of the Torah, of the Bible or of the Sacred Quran has had multiple interpretations, according to the interests of the commentators every epoch. And if we base on these commentaries everyone can try to justify very different things.

But if I, personally, had to choose a textual appointment, for what this have of universally (directed to all the villages) and out of time (for not referring to a certain historical period) I would remain with this part of the Decalogue (The Commandments) that this says precisely: you will not kill, and will not covet the foreign properties. This is said in an incisive way and ado commentary. One does not speak not about Philistines, cananeans, nabateans, Romans etc � .. or blacks, indians, china people etc �. It doesn�t even have caducity. Even today I believe that no people and much less no govern has been capable of respecting faithfully these procedure. However we try to camouflage, the wars, the death penalty, the abortions and other pearls of our current "civilization" (beyond our religions, races, cultures and ideologies) do not stop being a flagrant violation of this divine mandate.

Secondly you handle a few terms difficult to make compatible. To speak about (political) "governments" and "innocence" turns out to be Utopian. Habitually we are accustomed to an equation equally difficult Government / Justice for that we must fight. But, seriously, you believe that it is feasible to bring together Politics and Innocence?.

And thirdly, when you debate with the companion Dworsky, speeches of the support yanki to the Israeli government, saying: The power bases of them is the American support. This is something undeniable. But say me: In the Politics of Middle East when there has not existed a support partial to any power (United Kingdom, USSR / Russia, The United States) in this zone?. Do you think that other not less important countries like for example Saudi Arabia or Iran are free of interventionisms?. Then what does happen with other cases as Kashmir, Beluchist�n, Sudan or the Sahara?. For this line of discussion we might manage to raise such very delicate questions as: are some interventions permissable according to the religion, race or culture of the interfering agents?.

The route of the solution I believe that one finds in "make a devils" with the enemy neither, in mixing the religion with the politics. We take the risk that the pagan or atheistic peoples accuse the monotheists of being the most bloodthirsty peoples of the History. I do not believe that this it is Allah's will (salaju ale�ji wa salam).

Salaam
