Peace Activist Tom Hurndall Dies

Question:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Peace Activist Tom Hurndall Dies British peace activist Tom Hurndall, who was shot by Israeli occupation forces has died in a London hospital. On 11 April, he was hit in the head and critically wounded by sniper fire in the Rafah refugee camp while trying to rescue 2 Palestinian children from the gun fire of Israeli occupation forces. He spent the past nine months in a vegetative state. He was aged 22 and a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a group of activists who engage in non-violent action to protect civilians in the West Bank and Gaza. His family have called for a vigil outside the British prime minister’s residence in London today (Wednesday 14th) to mark his death. Tom’s mother, Jocelyn, has criticised Tony Blair for not condemning the Israelis for wreaking violence upon the innocent. She has said "We want to pave the way for Palestinian people to have some legal redress when they are shot and injured by the Israeli army just like my son was".

Maybe Mothers should teach their children not to go to war zones and work for terrorists groups.
