De vijandigheid tussen de meeste Israëli's en Palestijnen neemt nog elke dag toe. Toen een jonge Israëlische soldaat gisteren vaststelde dat uitgehongerde Palestijnen ondanks het uitgaansverbod in de Palestijnse stad Hebron in de rij gingen staan bij een winkel, maakte hij een berucht gebaar richting de koppig aanschuivende burgers. Het Israëlische leger is niet echt blij met dit soort beelden: gisteren viel het binnen bij een Palestijnse fotograaf van het persbureau Associated Press:
BEITUNIYA, West Bank (AP) - Three men, one dressed as an Israeli soldier and two wearing masks, entered the home of an Associated Press photographer at about 3 a.m. Sunday, rummaging through cabinets, desks and closets and emptying a jewelry box before leaving after about 30 minutes, the family said.
The photographer, Nasser Nasser, a Palestinian, was in neighboring Jordan on assignment for the AP when the troops arrived and asked his wife Soubhiyeh where he was. She and the couple's two children, ages 1 and 3, were at the house in Beituniya, a suburb of the West Bank city of Ramallah. The Israeli army did not immediately comment and asked the AP for more information to check the report.
The three men arrived in a military jeep with a bright orange light on top and banged on the door of the Nasser home, she said. One was in an army uniform and two others were in civilian clothes, with black masks and army boots, she said. When they knocked on the door, they said "army, army" in broken Arabic, Soubhiyeh Nasser said. The man dressed in an Israeli army uniform carried an M-16 automatic rifle and spoke to the other two men in Hebrew. The men asked where Nasser Nasser was and referred to him by his name, but did not say why they were looking for him, she said.
She was ordered to sit in the living room as the men searched the home. They overturned furniture, and tossed CDs and film negatives on the floor as they went through Nasser's office. They broke a 200 mm camera lens and a framed picture of Nasser with King Abdullah II of Jordan, she said. The soldier and the masked men then searched the bedroom, emptying closets. Afterward, several pieces of jewelry that were in a red jewelry box were missing as well as $50 and her cigarettes, she said. A video camera and an electrical charger were broken during the search, she added.
Nasser said she shouted at the three as they prepared to enter the children's bedroom, where the two children, 3-year-old Kathy and 1-year-old Ward were sleeping. They told her to be quiet in broken Arabic, then briefly looked inside the children's room. Nasser Nasser, 35, has worked for the Associated Press since 1997.
