GUEST,Hugo BS: Gaza Strip 28/9 June 2006 (1253* d) RE: BS: Gaza Strip 28/9 June 2006 18 Jul 06


Two American citizens were savagely assaulted by Israeli security officers at the main crossing point from Jordan in to Israel _the Allenby Bridge.
Tina Hannounah a 47 year old American banker of Palestinian origin was badly beaten along with her 17 year old son ,Michael who suffers from chronic heart problems.They were in the country to visit family.
Michael was grabbed at the checkpoint by a security officer who shouted at him in arabic_a language he does not speak.Apparently the officer was after Michael's new ipod.
The officer then savagely beat Tina [her face can be viewed on the Palestine News Network ].
There have been at least 100 similar incidents reported at checkpoints during the past year.Only 10 official replies have been offered.This sort of harassment and beating and humiliation is the regular fare for the Palestinian people who are treated in a callous way by Israeli security and occupation forces.
