To all those whom this may
concern:
Shalom.
According to various news agencies, Mr.
Muhammad Abu Shahala, a former intelligence agent for the Palestinian Authority,
has been sentenced to death, following a hurried trial. His crime: selling
property to Jews in Hebron.
Mr. Abu Shahala reportedly confessed
following torture sessions at the hands of his captors. The death sentence can
be executed only following concurrence by Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen,
president of the PA. After he signs the death warrant, Abu Shahala may be
killed.
It is appalling to think that property
sales should be defined as a ‘capital crime’ punishable by death. The very fact
that such a ‘law’ exists within the framework of the PA legal system points to a
barbaric and perverse type of justice, reminiscent of practices implemented
during the dark ages.
It is
incumbent upon the entire international community, which views Abu Mazen and the
Palestinian Authority as a viable Middle East peace partner, to publicly reject
such acts of legal murder, when the ‘crime’ is nothing more than property sales.
What would be the reaction to a law in the United States, England, France, or
Switzerland, forbidding property sales to Jews?
Actually, less than one hundred years
ago, such acts were legislated and practiced, known as the infamous ‘Nuremberg
laws.’ On October 3, 1938 the Nazi Germany, under the leadership of Adolf
Hitler, implemented a ‘Decree of the Confiscation of Jewish Property,
regulating the transfer of assets from Jews to non-Jewish Germans.’ On December
11, 1938 another law was passed: ‘the regulation for the elimination of Jews
from the Economic life of Germany.’ Among other sections was a clause
forbidding Jews from offering merchandise for sale.
Is the Palestinian Authority a
reincarnation of the Third Reich?
We
appeal to all international leaders to demand the annulment of the death warrant
and pending execution of Muhammad Abu Shahala, to be followed by his immediate
release from imprisonment, for he has committed no crime.
