Hell Made in Israel (20/6/02)

The Daily Life of Kawther Salam |
It was a surprise to receive a call from one of the " IDF " officers, giving
me his support, and apologize for all what the " IDF " soldiers did to me.
The first moment he introduced him self, I asked him if he still working in
the army or not. And when he said yes, I was astonished!!
Actually, I remember some nice Israeli soldiers and officers I met as a
journalist,
Colonel Igal Sharon was a nice commander of the " IDF " soldiers in Hebron. He
used to deal with all of the human stories I was published in the
newspapers, and he tried several times to slove some of the Palestinians
problems, he used to visit the Palestinians families their houses were
occupied by his soldiers, and he listen to their complaints.
He punished some of his soldiers when they behaived crazy with Palestinians,
and when the Palestinian woman Nazehah Abu Dahoud, sexualy harassed by the
" IDF " soldiers, they were stationed on her roof in 1997, he investigated his
soldiers and he put them in prison after I published the story in my
newspaper and I posted to the Israeli press through my friends, the
journalists (Sami Soukol and Ada Ushbez) from Ha'aretz newspaper.
Once the soldiers were broke into Nazehah's bed room in her house, (MY HOUSE
NOW), at the morning, one of them exposed him self, and told her that he
have a big (PENUS) for her that's better more than the small (PENUS) she
had. and he pointed to the small child he was with her in the room.
And while I cuased alot of criticizem noise for Colonel Igal Sharon in the
media, he was a nice Commander in Hebron, and when the Israeli TV made a
show about me and him through (OVDA), (Hebron the City without Mercy), the
program made by Ilana Dayan, the settlers humiliated him personaly and
spread false roumers against him.
Aron, the Paratrooper commander who served in Hebron in 1998 was a nice
officer too. Once he visited a Palestinian family in Tel-Romaideh with other
commanders, and when I follwed them to understand the reason behind their
visit, every body was speaking in Hebrow and Aron was my translator to
English!!
Colonel Barokh Najjar was very nice colonel with me either, while I
criticized him alot in the media and I caused noise noise for him, But he
was respecting me, and once he said, that he wish to see more Palestinians
women like me, but he is not wishing to see another journalist woman like
me. He meant the noise I made for him in the media definding the
Palestinians rights!!
