Rape in Bethlehem (A call for HELP)



Please read and forward...this is evidence of the brutality of occupation....
For the sake of the mothers of Palestine, please forward this to EVERYONE on your Mailing List. My name is Anthony Razook, and I am writing to you tonight from Bethlehem, Palestine. The local time here is 9:49 PM. I came with some friends to the camp of the Antiochian Orthodox in the United States a few years back, and now I am writing to you in distress, to reach out for some help for our people in Palestine.



Last night, Israeli tanks and military personnel broke into our homes. They entered my sister¹s and her husband¹s home at around 2:30 am this morning. They proceeded to attack my sister, and one of the Israeli soldiers made immoral attacks on her, and violated her in more than one way. My sister is (or was) 4 months pregnant, and for sure she has most likely lost the baby. When the Israeli soldier was finished violating her, two other army men did the same thing. When she refused and tried to fight them off, they beat her, mostly in her stomach, and when her husband Marwan tried to stop them, he was shot three times in the back of the neck. This morning at around 5 in the morning he died from the wounds. When they eventually stopped violating my sister, they then threw her on the bed.
