29-Apr-08: Ins and outs of Palestinian Authority incarceration

It's been revealed (though almost no one in the media seems to have noticed) that the shooting attack at the Nitzanei Shalom industrial zone on Friday that cost the lives of two Israelis was carried out by a Palestinian Arab terrorist who had "escaped" from the PA prison in Jericho. YNet quotes Palestinian sources saying the terrorist made his post-"escape" way from Jericho disguised as a woman. In Kalansua, he changed back into male clothing, going from there to Nitzanei Shalom where he carried out the attack.

Three additional terrorists, members of the Fatah-controlled al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, also "escaped" yesterday (Monday) morning from the Palestinian Authority prison in Jericho. (The PA president, Mahmoud Abbas, is the head of Fatah.) Palestinian security forces are now "combing the area in search of the inmates" according to one report.

YNet explains that friends of the terrorists from the Jericho prison said all three had complained of their imprisonment conditions. Even worse, they felt rage over the fact that their requests to be included in an amnesty list were not met. Solution: why, somehow to escape of course. The PA (according to YNet) is "looking into the incident".

So, presumably, are the widows of Shimon Mizrachi and Eli Wasserman, the two murdered Israelis.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
